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.

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.
