@cnn: An unlikely Argentina football fan base can be found in Bangladesh and in Queens, New York. Members of the Bengali community explain why they're backing the team to win the World Cup.

Leo :

Bonafide.Syed :

As a Bangladeshi, this is embarrassing

neil dhawan ✰ :

Argentina would hate them because Argentina is racist

I GENIUENLY wish they could put this much effort into trying to go play in World Cup as they do with supporting Argentina(a country that supports Israel).

Azmaeen ☹️ :

Argentina one of the first nations to recognize Bangladesh as an independent nation. Also the players and fans have shown their respect to Bangladesh countless times ✌️

SDOT_BENGALI_NYC👑🇧🇩👑🇺🇸 :

Dont worry we working on changing this

Kermit :

Simple answer. England conquered them. England is 100% more racist than Argentina

kingofNHL :

Because Messi supports Israel 😂😂😂

Afifa Roza :

Due history Bangladesh 🇧🇩 fell in love with Pele in 1970 and we got independence in 1971 .... so the connection between Love for Brazil 🇧🇷 football and Bangladeshi people is historical and emotional... the other hand the first football match was broadcast on the national television in Bangladesh was in 1986... though peoples of Brazil but they got to see the first football match was in 1986 and from that you are the magic of Maradona made people fall in love with Argentina 🇦🇷 as well... but over the time legendary Brazil players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Neymar never disappointed Brazil fans in Bangladesh... and Argentina with their beautiful play also never disappointed the Argentina fans... so from the decades it is going like in Bangladesh a huge fandom rivalry in Bangladesh 🇧🇷vs🇦🇷... During FIFA the whole country is divided into two groups and you can't compare which group is bigger.... in this time they troll each other, they celebrate each other and they compete with each other... so the big Argentina jersey you are seeing here there is a bigger Brazil Jersey in the same area 😁😁... AND YES THIS IS HOW BANGLADESH WE CELEBRATE WHEN ARGENTINA WIN AND WE ALSO CRY WHEN BRAZIL LOSE ...... BTW I'm a Brazil fan from Bangladesh 🇧🇷🫂🇧🇩🫂🇦🇷

Joesmellerthe3 :

Losing tonight to England🥺🤞

SAFE THE WORLD :

Free Palestine

Adam :

It’s because Bangladesh national team is not so strong. They support Argentina or Brazil because they don’t have anyone else to support.

Diane :

Bangladesh fans party like Argentina fan

mo :

They just don’t know anything about Argentinians history and racism 😂

MonoDot :

WE ARE ARGENTINAN SAAAAR

yo uber :

C :

I think its because they feel like they have no national identity because of colonialism. But idk, I can never understand supporting a country that isnt your country.
