Argentine paper slams Flamengo post, sparks outrage next door | OneFootball

‘Olé’ Published Flamengo's Joke Making Comparisons Between Brazil and Argentina

After eliminating Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores, Flamengo's social media went wild. There were plenty of taunts for the La Plata team and even for Argentina. One of the messages resonated so much that it even reached ‘Olé’, the country's largest sports newspaper.

In a playful manner, Flamengo compared Brazilian and Argentine traditions, always putting our country's qualities at an advantage. ‘Olé’ replicated the content and made a call to the ‘hermanos’: “leave your greeting for Flamengo here.”

WHAT DID FLAMENGO WRITE?

“Cold mate is better than hot mate. Brigadeiro is better than alfajor. Samba is better than tango. Fair pastel is better than empanada. Zico is greater than Maradona. Barbecue is better than roast. Brazilian wine is better than Argentine wine. One real is greater than 247 Argentine pesos.”

In the comments, there was a lot of outrage among Argentines, even with racist undertones, such as: “but if you call them monkeys, they stop finding it funny” and “beef stew is better than monkey soup.” Additionally, others mocked Flamengo's post, as the Argentine Rossi was the hero of the qualification.

The rubro-negros, of course, also made their presence felt in the comments, taunting the Argentines and especially Estudiantes. Jokes with the name of Gonzalo Plata with the La Plata team were a hit among Flamengo fans.

AND WHAT ABOUT RACING?

Flamengo's next opponent, Racing (ARG), also made their presence felt in the comments on ‘Olé’. Fans of the Avellaneda team taunted the rubro-negro with the message: “let's see if you repeat this post in a month.”

Flamengo and Racing will face each other in the last two weeks of October, during the weeks of the 22nd and 29th. The first game will be at Maracanã, with the return at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda, for the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores da América.
