Why France's racially diverse society has united to boo Argentina
On Thursday, at the Stade de France, Argentina’s Rugby 7s team — the Pumas — was roundly booed during the national anthem. It left Pumas captain Gaston Revol surprised. “I wasn’t ready or prepared for that reception,” Revol revealed. The crowd at the Stade de France was venting their ire at the Pumas, but it was essentially directed at the Albiceleste — the team of Messi, Angel di Maria and one Enzo Fernandez, current world champions after beating Mbappe and France a year and half ago. As of a fortnight ago, Argentina were Copa America champions too.
