What people are saying
The whole of Argentine football thinks the same, right? That they come here to rob you like that really hurts.
I report to the relevant authorities that, as I was leaving the field of play, Belgrano's starting players, substitutes and part of the coaching staff began applauding ironically, which I understood to be directed at the refereeing team.
