>>19268Wait, wasn’t Latin America as a concept invented by Napoleon Bonaparte as part of his geopolitical ambitions against the UK-led anti-enlightenment coalition of his time, or did I miss something?
Because it’s true that Latin as an endonym only exists in the English language, but then again concepts like Latinidad and Hispanidad are clearly elite projects as opposed to grassroots one.
As for OP, I think this is being exaggerated. Every season has its heroes and villains, y’all are being psyopped in the first place. Next thing you know, in FIFA 2030 Argentina might be the hero every normgroid praises. I mean, English fans were villainised back in EUFA 2022 despite other ultras being as bad if not worst.
So OP, I’ll tell you this: It’s all business as normal, nothing new under the sun, especially as football culture always involved reactionary politics and chauvinism. But that’s lumpen entertainment for ya. Plus it’s not like Latin Americans don’t constantly shit on each other all the time, only to shake hands with each other afterwards.
