The way it goes from mostly peaceful to a cacophonous din of exuberant celebration...

It is hard for me to even imagine my country caring enough about anything to celebrate, united, in this way.

The entire city erupted in celebration and it sounded like you were listening to audio from the stadium itself.

ah.. I was more expecting people to be streaming out of buildings in celebration, not that they were already out there. missed the context that this was supposed to be a busy street.

I was in downtown Philadelphia when the Eagles won the Superbowl and it was like this. As soon as the game ended everyone flooded into the streets. The lightpoles never stood a chance.

I was in Vancouver when Canada won the gold medal in men's hockey for the 2010 Olympics. Much the same as this but slightly less shirtless people :)

I'm not a huge football fan but that was an exciting game to watch!

There was a kid I knew in a few of my courses at Drexel who was on that awning. Philly championship celebrations are definitely unreal, but nothing compared to a country winning a World Cup after being starved of it since 1986.

this is, probably, the bussiest street on the whole country especially at that intersection (also the most famous intersection on the country, basically the postcard of Buenos Aires)

Some friends and I ran outside with brooms when the White Sox won the World Series in ‘05. This was in a small neighborhood in the south suburbs, and we were surprised other people were out. I can’t even imagine a major city exploding after a World Cup.

So cool. Wish people and the world could put their differences aside and come together like this more often for things more important than sports. Sadly nothing could ever change that.

How are people even watching the game when they are out there in the crowd? No way the service would handle all those people streaming games from their phone.

Taken from Wikipedia, its not a date in this instance "9 de Julio Avenue is one of the main arteries of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine Republic. It runs about three kilometers in the heart of the city, communicating the transport hubs and the main railway terminals in the neighborhood of Retiro and Plaza Constitución."

Ya kind of a dumb take honestly.

These happen in the US all the time. Case in point, cubs 2016.

Now as a whole country, ya probably not. But simply because the international level of the two sports most US residents watch are absolutely dominated by the US (basketball, football)

Of the two sports that use "world champions" its quite an easy argument to make that no team put together of a single country could beat the team that won.

Do you really want someone like the Bengals to steam roll a team from Japan? Do you really want to see a 100-0 score?

We already have enough with the laughable FIBA finals where our 3rd rate NBA players wipe the floor.

Well, first off, American Football only really exists in America. That's like saying Australia dominates Footy-- no shit.

And I was in Chicago for that 2016 WS win. The insanity was really only in North Side. Half of the baseball fans in the city hate the Cubs. And even more people are completely indifferent to baseball at all.

But, all of that aside, can you think of any sport, or anything else really that would elicit this type of response from a majority of people in the U.S.?

I like Argentina and gained a respect for the people there after visiting the country some years ago. Glad they won. They need a little pick-me-upper.

I was in Chicago when the Cubs won the World Series. I imagine your experience was a lot like mine. I was stuck inside, studying for an exam and with my window open, up on the 10th floor of my building, it sounded like I was inside a stadium

I was also there marching down broad. I’ll admit I kinda bandwagoned from playoffs on that season but it got me hooked.

The true unity of philadelphia, city of brotherly love, the kind that required trash trucks to party from and came together against Tom Brady…

Sorry, got a little lost there. Congrats to Argentina for their national moment of celebration.

Retail worker at DIY home improvement store in the early 80s. Super Bowl was a time when the store cleared out. Just us floor guys walking around in a near empty store floor. Same w Christmas Eve hours before closing. Except for grumpy old guys who come in asking, “You got any pots and pans?” That was their effort of Christmas shopping for their wives.

Yes I’d like to see a 100-0 score. I’d like to see the US go 1000 games unbeaten. Nobody will take your World Champion claims seriously unless you win a World Championship. Simple as that.

I am from really small country, but managed to get 3rd player in World one time in a major sport. Very similar to this. Just crowds of people dancing, signing, going crazy as one. Amazing feeling.

Well yeah. There's many articles about like "oh shame on you for liking this World Cup." We need distractions because our lives are so fucking pointless and doomed, so let us eat cake for a bit. Not even trying to be an edgelord, just bread and circuses ya know.

I was at the Cubs World Series game winner, when the Indians tied the game, the stadium felt like an earthquake went off. The ground shook and I was in the club seats.

The USA will end never enjoy a celebration like that, where the whole country is focused on and supporting a singular championship event. Sure some day the NY Jets might win the super bowl and parts of NY will erupt, but the rest of the country will be feeling meh… I’m jealous for the experience. Next World Cup, I’ll have to travel to one of countries in the finals and hope I pick the winning side.

Worse than that. He is American. He can't stand he is not the center of attention because they are so irrelevant during the world cup.

Remember to feel relevant they have to call their own regional championship "world championship".

Naw man I lived in Buenos Aires for a bit. The beef football and insane inflation isn’t far off.

Beef: I could go to a 5 star restaurant in the middle of Palermo and get an 8oz filet mignon cut for about $14 USD.

I was there in 2014 and the city legit shuts down for football. I went to a BOCA juniors match and had a blast, and went to a WC warmup of Argentina v Trinidad y Tabago. So much fun.

And the inflation is insane. Exchange rates are set by the gov rather than the market, and we would exchange dollars with sketchy street vendors rather than official avenues because they were offering $15/$1 rather than the official rate of $12/$1

Being rude isn’t a reflection of being correct or not.

This was a video about people celebrating and you decided to be negative and dismissive for no reason. That’s why your comment was rude.
