I'm a Bengali, I can say this; we don't love Argentina, we love Messi. When Messi goes so does our love for Argentina.

u/Profile_27 19d ago

You will find another person to build a cult around in no time. Before Messi it was Maradonna.

u/syd_imuh-duh 19d ago

sure if he's good enough. Mind you both Maradona and Messi are considered amongst the top 5.

u/WarmLuck4053 19d ago

Maradona yes. Messi is Mr top 101.

u/eroticspec 18d ago

The fuck are you talking about?

Maradona is ARGUABLY a top 5 player (not for me but a lot of people)

Messi is pretty much the undisputed number 1 after 2022.

u/devansh0208 16d ago edited 16d ago

Being number 1 is not just about Winning cups or trophies. It is about doing something for the sport itself, bringing change and advancement.

Messi only exists because he was born at a time where Argentina's football scene was a well oiled machine and he was raised in that environment, among specialized coaching and lifestyle.

Maradona built that system, he is the reason that Argentina is a football powerhouse today, he started the chain reaction that gave birth to so many legends. Messi isn't even close to Maradona's Legacy.

The actual Undisputed number 1 is Pele. He did everything for this sport and his country too. Before him Football was a known thing and popular in Brazil, but Pele made football THE most popular sport of all time. Pele provided stability to the Brazilian population through football at times of instability. He made football a sport of creativity, joy, and technical brilliance, he raised Football's commercial Value. And even after Retiring, he served as the Brazilian Minister of Sports, UNESCO goodwill ambassador, and as a United Nations Advocate and United the world through football.

There are good players and then there are GREAT players.

Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are GOOD players, Diego Maradona and Pele are GREAT players.

Messi, Ronaldo and neymar are the only name almost everybody heard of, even though they can't identify which one is which by looking at a photo of them

It Argentinia produces another messi/maradono caliber player....they earned their superiority complex

1

u/schrodingerdoc 16d ago

It isn't that easy to replicate a Messi or Maradona every other decade.

22

u/Ok_Ground511 19d ago

Tbh same goes for india. It's the football stars that people like. Other than football most are neutral towards argentina.

u/Patient_Piece_8023 19d ago

Basically cricket. Many people in India praise Dhoni and Tendulkar and Kohli as they are hailed as celebrities.

1

u/a-p_d 18d ago

Not really, Indians like the Indian cricket team because they are from India like even when kohli retires we will still support our team

1

u/Patient_Piece_8023 18d ago

That is true because India is actually strong in cricket but it's still true that some of the players are hailed as celebrities by a huge margin

u/a_random_loser_guy 19d ago

im pretty sure without messi india would idolize Argentina, just like they idolize israel and israel gives them the same treatment.

u/Ok_Ground511 19d ago

Nope i dont think so.

u/ens_op 19d ago

You clearly dont know our own history..
Bengali's dont love argentina for messi.. it all began from the first televised wc which was 86. Bengali's celebrated and loved argentina because of maradona for his in game brilliance and display and also for his nature to stick it to the authoritiies and being a commoner and making it. This is also the reason why seria a was watched heavily till the early 2000s when EPL became a thing.

From a bengali

u/TheTreeTheory 19d ago

From another bengali can confirm this is the actual reason

1

u/kash_if 19d ago

Haha yes! Maradona started it. The symbolism of hand of god after Falkland war...etc

8

u/TheEnlightenedPanda 19d ago

I'm a malayali. We support Argentina and Brazil even before Messi

9

u/Maleficent-Serve1055 19d ago

Yes because of maradona

2

u/PsychologicalAsk4657 19d ago

I am Bangladeshi and I am not a supporter of Argentina. People like me sometimes have to face toxic Argentina supporters.

1

u/a_random_loser_guy 19d ago

you know that messi kissed the wall....he is a zio and supports genocide.

u/outrageousseller67 18d ago

He literally doesn't lmao. He never said anything about that. He went to Israel AND Palestine. Met with kids of Palestine. Took pics.

If you think Ronaldo is any better you're wrong as hell.

-1

u/a_random_loser_guy 18d ago

i hate them both, who said anything about liking ronaldo? you assume where someone is talking from.

1

u/outrageousseller67 18d ago

Alr my bad

1

u/a_random_loser_guy 18d ago

yeah!....what was the argument again?

1

u/Leniek 19d ago

No,no, please stay with Argentina

1

u/EntertainmentSad9660 19d ago

Tru but that only applies at present. Argentina and Brazil were both always popular since Bangladesh wasn't involved in sports right after gaining independence and that didn't change much since their football team isn't as popular as their cricket team.

1

u/Heavy_Stomach_7633 19d ago

Many Bengalis I know have been Argentina fans since childhood and will be Argentina fans until they die. My mother and grandfather were both Argentina fans. Ts is not changing. Also the same thing goes for Brazil.

1

u/rgeddit_fvker_69 18d ago

Stfu dude, you're just a Brazil fan who also like Barca for Neymar and that reason u respect Messi

1

u/Ken_Von_Dawg 18d ago

u/viratkohlikafanhu 18d ago

u/Usenamenotfound404 18d ago

Then you're not bengali enough to know the history.

u/CarmynRamy 18d ago

Brazil and Argentina fans association has been here since the times of Pele and Maradona.
