It all started with a shared glance in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium 👀 A Chinese fan and an Argentine, both wearing the same Argentina jersey, as Argentina thrashed Cape Verde 3-2 in the round of 16.
They pulled out the phone translator because they did not speak the same language, and right then the match took a back seat. He sat next to her. Everything was recorded for TikTok, as can be heard in the video. And it ended the way these World Cup stories end: with a kiss 💋
But what was supposed to be a romantic anecdote turned into something else. Chinese users lashed out at her over her behavior, while on the Argentine side they applauded their representative as a hero. World Cup love or an excess that should not have been shown on camera? 🇦🇷🇨🇳
