The Englishman Piers Morgan questioned the Argentine National Team after the humiliating victory and posted: "Classless idiots. I hope Spain crushes you as badly in the Final as we crushed you in the Falklands War."
The dialectical beating against the Brit did not end there. The successful businessman Marcos Galperín, founder of Mercado Libre and a proponent of market freedom, also joined in to put the journalist in his place: “Make sure to book your return tickets to London for Saturday, clown. Also, you can visit Scotland, Wales, and Ireland and watch the final there to cheer for Argentina with large crowds”.
The Argentina is experiencing a moment of resurgence of national pride. Following the historic victory of the national team by 2-1 against England in the semifinal of the 2026 World Cup, the feeling of sovereignty was palpable when the players of the Scaloneta unfurled a flag with the unwavering slogan: “The Malvinas are Argentine”. This gesture of dignity unleashed the fury of the most nefarious sectors of British journalism, led by the always controversial and resentful Piers Morgan.
The English communicator, known for his closeness to Cristiano Ronaldo and his systematic disdain for Lionel Messi, could not contain his bitterness at the humiliating sports and political defeat. Through his account on the social network X, Morgan launched an attack filled with hate and lack of class:
“Classless idiots. I hope Spain crushes you as badly in the Final as we crushed you in the Falklands War”. This phrase, which denotes absolute moral depravity, attempted to use a military conflict to mask the impotence of being out of the World Final at the hands of the best team on the planet.
However, the British journalist did not anticipate the devastating response from Luis Caputo. The Minister of Economy, representing a government that does not kneel before anyone, tamed the host with an elegance and stature that exposed the mediocrity of the interlocutor.
Caputo declared with total authority: “Argentina may win or lose the next match. But two things will surely happen: we Argentines will celebrate anyway, and you will continue to be a mediocre and resentful person”. The official's response not only defended the popular sentiment but also exposed the envious character of someone who cannot tolerate the success of others.
As for the strictly on-field performance, Argentina's display was a demonstration of grit and talent. Despite Morgan attempting to question the officiating of Ismail Elfath by labeling the team as “a dirty team”, reality prevailed on the scoreboard with goals from Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez.
The English journalist, who went from euphoria to dejection in 99 minutes, even sarcastically asked if Messi was playing, receiving over 40,000 responses from users reminding him of his bitterness.
While the English team prepares to compete for third place against France next Saturday, July 18 at 4 PM (Argentina time) at the Miami Stadium, Argentina is heading to the final with heads held high. This episode makes one thing clear: in the Argentina of Javier Milei, attacks on our sovereignty and our symbols do not go unanswered, especially when they come from characters of the ilk of Piers Morgan, who today leaves humiliated by the moral stature of a minister who knows how to defend his homeland.
