In the streets of Qatar, the Argentine fans chanted many songs motivating the team, and most of them included a reference to the captain of the team Lionel Messi and the late legend Diego Maradona, and the wound that has not yet healed among the Argentine people left by the conflict with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands in the eighties of the last century and ended with the surrender of Argentina and British control of the islands and the death of hundreds of Argentine soldiers.
Most of the songs also refer to the superiority of the Argentine national team over its Brazilian counterpart, and cite the victory of the “tango dancers” over the “Seleção” in the 2021 Copa America final at the prestigious “Maracana” stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
The most famous song during the World Cup was “Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar” or “Guys… we are excited again” composed last year by Fernando Romero using the melody of an old song by the band “La Mosca”.
Romero sang the song with a number of his friends in a match for Argentina with Bolivia in September 2021 to attract attention and spread, which prompted singer Guillermo Novelis, a member of the “La Mosca” band, to ask Romero to record it and shoot a video clip for it, which was released on November 11. The last second before the start of the World Cup.
This song spread in the Qatari streets until it became the official anthem for the Argentine fans in the tournament, and the national team players also used to repeat it.

“Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar”
I was born in Argentina
Land of Diego and Lionel
One of the Falkland kids I will never forget
I can not explain to you
Because you will not understand
The finals we lost, how many years have I cried for
But that ended because it’s in the Maracanã
In the final against Brazil their father (Argentina) won…
Guys, now we’re excited again
I want to win for the third time
I want to become a world champion
And Diego, we can see him in the sky
With Don Diego and La Tota (Maradona’s mother)
We will support Lionel
-
The song “Brasilero qué pasó” (Brazilian, what happened)
Brazilian, what happened? The hero has aged five times
Messi left for Rio and took the trophy
We are the Argentinian team and we will always support
Because we dream of becoming world champions
I am so, I am Argentinian, I have not forgotten the Falkland Islands, you English bastards
I am like this, I came to support you, and I follow Argentina everywhere

Vamos Argentina, sabés que yo te quiero (Come on, Argentina, you know I love you)
Come on, Argentina
You know I love you
Today you have to win and be the first
Here is your crazy fan who left everything for the World Cup
The fan who has Messi and Maradona
Go ahead, Argentina
Forward, players
This year we have to show that we are back
We came together to Doha to be the champions

Vinimos todos juntos a Doha a alentar a Argentina song
We all came to Doha to support Argentina
Leaving many things aside for your vision..
The group will never forget the Falklands and showed the world what a passion it is
Winning the World Cup is what the players dedicate themselves to in every game
No matter where the World Cup is, we still follow you.
Let’s all cheer together, come on Argentina, we’ll win.
Every Brazilian will start crying, because this year the trophy will go to their father

What’s wrong with you, Brazilian?
I’m still waiting
They all cry in the slums
Because Messi has the crown, ooh, ooh, ooh

Do you remember Maradona?
I know it hurts and hurts you
But this cup
Argentina’s share.
