The Argentine soccer team was greeted with boos before the start of their quarterfinal match at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This event occurred against local France and has already generated a stir in the world of sports, as Argentine players were faced with a hostile environment from the first moment.

Franceā€˜s strategy has been effective so far, taking advantage of Argentina’s defensive errors and capitalising on scoring opportunities. The locals have shown great defensive solidity and have been able to control the pace of the game by taking the lead 1-0.

For its part, Argentina has tried to react, but the constant boos of the public have made their task difficult. It will be interesting to see if the Argentine coach makes tactical adjustments to try to reverse the situation or if France manages to maintain the advantage and secure their passage to the next round.
