It all began with a mutual look in the Hard Rock Stadium stands 👀. As Argentina defeated Cape Verde 3-2 in the round of 16, a Chinese supporter and an Argentine wore the identical Argentina jersey.

Since they didn’t speak the same language, they used a phone interpreter, and the match was immediately put on hold. He took a seat beside her. As you can hear in the video, everything was recorded for TikTok. And it concluded with a kiss, just like these World Cup tales do. 💋


However, what was meant to be a romantic story became something else entirely. While Argentine people praised their ambassador as a hero, Chinese users attacked her for her actions. Love for the World Cup or an excess that shouldn’t have been captured on camera? 🇦🇷🇨🇳
