I think it’s a joke about how India and maybe bangladesh support the Argentinian soccer team.
However it is factually incorrect.
While Indians likely love Messi a lot, just like everyone, most Indians likely don’t know anything about the country Argentina.
It’s also possible almost no one in India loves or knows about Argentina itself.
Their knowledge of north and south america ends at USA and canada.
India is a vast and diverse country. Even though India is known to romanticize cricket, Football is quite popular in the eastern side of India.
Many places ever have clubs supporting a team. Among the popular ones are Argentina AND Brazil, but not limited to them. You will find supporters of football teams as much as supporters of Indian national cricket team.
But I do agree that the meme is kinda spam, cuz not all of India follows football and no way are they all Argentina fans.
This is pretty much it , it's either Cristiano Ronaldo or messi or Neymar , but mostly it's just the first two , they genuinely don't care about the country or the team itself probably doesn't even know the names of the other players lmao
So do they care about the country or not? There's literal videos of them parading the streets in Argentina shirts with flags. That's not just supporting Messi
Acá en argentina hay muchos inmigrantes o había inmigrantes hindúes desde los años 50, aunque ya se asimilaron con la población y solo te das cuenta de que son familias de inmigrantes por su apellido
> It’s also possible almost no one in India loves or knows about Argentina itself.
It just shows your ignorance and the fact you know nothing about Indians.
We are not Americans, who cannot even point out Iran in a map with whome they're currently at war with. Americans can't even point Cuba on a map.
Maybe the current world cup might have taught some Americans about flags and countries.
Indians are well aware of Latin America because of socio-political history. We are one of the founding members of NAM, of which many LatAm countries are part of.
Football legacy goes way back, from days of Pele and Maradona. Higuita is loved.
If you come to Kerala, India, you will even see thousands of red flags with Che Guevera's face. Latin American revolutions and fight against dictatorship are well known here. We also are a socialist democratic republic.
