ArgentinaA group of Argentine fans sang lyrics aimed at the race of some French players attending the 2022 World Cup.

"Listen, they play for France, but they're all from Angola. They're transsexuals like dammit Mbappe. His old woman is Nigerian, his old man is Cameroonian, but he's national. French nationality", the song's content has a paragraph.

A group of Argentine fans sang while being interviewed in a TV show on TyC Sport channel, commenting on the Argentina team on November 15. The clip then went viral on the internet.

Multi-ethnicity is common in France. In the list of 26 faces attending the 2022 World Cup, coach Didier Deschamps called 16 players the descendants of families who immigrated to France decades ago. Some of France's World Cup winners are from immigrant families such as Zinedine Zidane (Algerian descent), Thierry Henry, Lilian Thuram (Guadeloupe), Kylian Mbappe (Cameroon), Paul Pogba (Guinea), N'Golo Kante (Mali).

In the 1/8 round of the 2018 World Cup, Argentina had to return home after a 3-4 defeat to France. In this match, Mbappe scored two decisive goals to increase the score to 3-2 in the 64th minute and 4-2 in the 68th minute. Then, France entered the final to beat Croatia 4-2.

Argentina and France are also likely to meet in the 1/8 round of the 2022 World Cup. This will happen in two cases: Argentina is first in Group C, France is second in Group D, and vice versa.

According to the bookmakers, the two teams are the top candidates, next to Brazil, England and Spain. The 2022 World Cup will start on November 20 and end on December 18.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi is currently Mbappe's teammate at PSG. Most of Messi's 14 assists from the beginning of the 2022-2023 season were for the French striker. Mbappe is leading the list of PSG goals in the 2022-2023 season with 19 goals, four more than Neymar and seven with Messi.
