The support for the Argentina football team in Bangladesh is beyond imagination and it's felt every four years when the FIFA World Cup is on. So when Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in their opening fixture, at least half of the football fans in the country were stunned and silent.

But they got their voice back when Lionel Messi and Co. got back on track with two vital wins and made the round of 16. Recently, the FIFA and Argentine media praised Bangladeshi fans' passion for football. But probably the fans, miles apart, waited for Messi or some other player to acknowledge it.

Their wish got served. Well, almost. Argentina's manager Lionel Scaloni, ahead of their round of 16 game against Australia on Sunday, attended the press conference and there he was asked about the overwhelming support for his team outside Argentina.

"What the national team shirt transmits is crazy," said Scaloni. "It makes us proud that people in Bangladesh are supporting Argentina like that. We'll give our best, it's football, anything can happen, but the feeling is good."

Earlier, the Argentina football team played a friendly match against Nigeria at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka in September 2013. Playing before a sell-out crowd, the two-time World Cup winners Argentina won the game 3-1.

Hairey amar desh !!

Pete nai bhat - Argentina are Brazil nia maramari.....

In my area, some abals were shouting slogals and Argentina's name at 2:30 am.. when Argentina won a couple of days ago...



People died to protect this country and it's people's freedom's so we could hang flags off other countries off our balconies and cheer them on at midnight



But then again, this is the least of our problems, If it keeps the youth busy with sport and away from petty crime.

Unconditional love never go waste. Now Argentines are flying Bangladeshi flags.

Well Bangladeshi flag made it's way into the world cup, not bad, not bad at all !

Supporting your favourite team either of a country or a club is not a problem.

Fighting with others or each others or hooliganism is the problem.

Can we monetize this brand of Umma-Chumma?

Maybe by increasing targeted exports/imports from both countries?

Now Argentines want to support the Bangladesh cricket team to connect with Bangladeshis​

The support for the Argentina national football team in Bangladesh has caught everyone's attention this World Cup. Argentines noticed it and have decided to do something for the Bangladeshi fans as well in return.

After a suggestion from a fellow Argentine on Instagram, Dan Lande from Buenes aires decided to open an Argentine fan group for the Bangladesh national cricket team. The group is called 'Fans argentinos de la selección de cricket de Bangladesh' which translates to 'Argentine fans of the Bangladesh cricket team'.

The news of the creation of the group was shared by Dan on Twitter where the tweet went viral. The news was then shared by famous Argentine author Tefi Russo on her Instagram. As a result, many Argentines found out about the group and began to join.

The Facebook group, which opened just yesterday, currently has more than seven thousand members and is growing at a rapid rate. Both Argentines and Bangladeshis are joining the group to show love and appreciation for each other.

After seeing Bangladeshi people flocking in to join the group, the admin even made a video where he welcomes the Bangladeshi people in Bengali.

People in Argentina barely know anything about cricket. However, that did not stop them from making this fan group. They have been found asking about where and how they can learn about cricket. Bangladeshi people in the group are sharing tutorials and videos and are using Google Translate to answer their questions in Spanish. This cooperation between the Bangladeshis and Argentines created a very wholesome mood in the group.

The Argentines are also talking about Bangladesh's performance, sharing pictures, statistics, and news surrounding Bangladesh cricket despite having very little knowledge about all these things. They are also inquiring about where they can find Bangladesh's flag and jerseys.

Despite the distance between the two countries, the language barrier, and the lack of knowledge about cricket or Bangladesh, Argentines are coming forward and are willing to bond with Bangladeshi people through cricket. Their effort to communicate their appreciation of Bangladesh despite these obstacles is truly commendable and shows how friendly they are.

No harm in this and it's great to see Argentinians appreciating it and responding in kind.

 

[StraightEdge]

It's fun, it's good. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. People should have something to celebrate even if they find happiness and engagement from somewhere else. Not everything in life has to be serious and measured with the lens of profit/loss.
