Ok, but it's not like they hate each other? Athletes lose to each other all the time and remain on good terms.

I’m sorry but why would France deserve to win? I get he was bummed not to win but that is literally the game, they played hard until the bitter end and then penalties, which still require both shooting and goalkeeping skills, decided the winner. That’s the game. That’s how it’s always been. It’s not like some new unheard of rule was invented to give Argentina the edge.

To say that he thought France should win just makes him sound like a sore loser.

I think this is a weird take. It wasn't a sloppy finale, both teams played well and fair. Athletes in many sports play for their country and go back to their respective team afterwards with teammates from other countries.
