Ok. I'm not certainly a fan of football nor any other gym. In fact I hate sports doing myself or watch other doing it. Nor I view the match by TV because I get too nervious.
Regarding penalties, I agree; but rules are rules and we won under them.

It almost seems fair given the game, and the tournament overall, that the game ended level and it went to penalties. A fair reflection of how well and how hard they both had played.
What a final! Thoroughly enjoyed!

Maradona was wrong doing it, but the ultimate responsible was the Referee who took as valid an illegal goal, and there weren't VAR. And could be an accident. Fortunately the second goal is of antology and one of the most wonderful I saw.
Poor Diego had died in the misery like a rat.
Same situation for me (dual citizenship Argentinean-Italian); but I moved to USA.👍
I am saddened and embarrassed by the images that were made public of the outrages caused during the celebrations for the soccer world championship.
Those images don't represent my particular behavior as I didn't participate in them.

Unfortunately football seems to attract those that aren’t interested in football but violence - here in the UK we have quite a bit of experience of this. The same with the rest of europe.
Don´t worry, nobody is mistaken to believe you like Argentine celebrations, or Women or anything at all.
I didn't watch any match of this very odd world championship, nor am I much interested in football at all, which is much, much overrated and overpaid imho. Anyway, if a match needs to be decided by penalty shooting, it tells me nothing else than both teams were equal during the match and that fortune was asked for the decision.
Congrats to the Argentinians, btw.
Best regards!
Argentina did not play well against France?
They had the game won and France couldn't find their way for 75 minutes, and the penalty shootout victory was actually a deserved act of justice, because Argentina saved penalties and the French kicked the ball wide.

Quite often it becomes crime gang related.
Here in the UK, I remember the train station always had the police in front in force, the police directed the away fans went to a single pub next to the station, the home fans were kept out. They were then bussed directly to the grounds and then back directly to the train station.
I didn´t see them "controlled" at all.
I crossed from Liverpool to Dublin in a Ferry Boat, sadly full of the red-and-white scarfe guys and the light-blue-and-white ones , who for some unfathomable reason were playing in Ireland.
Not sure why they were allowed on the same boat, for a looooongggg overnight crossing; they terrorized the few "normal" passengers, yours truly included.
They profited from cheap "duty free" alcohol, so they bought sixpacks and drank them on the spot, at (warm) room temperature, warm whiskey, the works .... ugh!
Never before or after witnessed so much belching, they got deeply drunk soon, and then started fighting each other, only stopping to puke.
Ship crew could NOT control them at all, they pushed each other rolling down ship stairs, and trapping anybody who was unlucky enough to get between two "warriors" ... a mess.
Not the Gentleman´s Paradise some "imagine".

Liverpool has traditionally been difficult both for internal matches (between everton and liverpool teams) and between irish. The team support polarised along religious boundaries (liverpool roman catholic, everton protestant) and that followed across the boundaries of irish support too. (I grew up across the water on the wirral, with parent teaching in liverpool secondary schools). The same with hibs and rangers in scotland.
The police in liverpool attempt stop them killing each other but scuffles still occur.
The major crime families in liverpool used to also align to the teams but less so now.
