The Argentinian football team was seen facing heavy global criticism for turning their backs during Spain's FIFA World Cup trophy lift.
The news came after they suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 extra-time defeat at MetLife Stadium.
The team was led by a tearful Lionel Messi, who went up to collect their silver medals while Spain's squad provided a more respectful guard of honor. However, once Spain assembled on the podium to lift the trophy, the squad moved to the other side of the pitch and intentionally chose to turn their backs to the celebration. The incident was slammed by critics and worldwide pundits who felt this behavior was appalling and just so uncalled for.
Many called the matter a classless act and a sheer embarrassment to the spirit of fair play.
