The hostility that Argentina has toward Mexico has already moved beyond sports issues, and now what predominates between both countries is hate speech, racism, as well as mockery and inflammatory comments.
During the World Cup, on social media, users from both countries have fought over which country is better, both in terms of soccer and in social, political, cultural, and even labor spheres, but these comments have now escalated following England's defeat in the semifinals.

In the last few hours, a video from Récord has gone viral, in which an Argentine criticizes Mexico and mocks its soccer abilities, as well as its economy, and claims that Mexicans are envious of Argentina.
“To the whitexicans of Mexico: put up with Argentina. We keep the economy of Polanco, Roma Norte, and everything else going, so stop bothering us,” he noted, and added bluntly regarding the mutual feud: “Mexicans have a grudge against us because they are envious of us, specifically. I understand they have their little tacos, everything is very nice, but they don't know how to play ball. They’ll learn eventually.”

In response, Mexican netizens replied that it was absurd for him to refer to the economic issue given that Argentines are experiencing a crisis due to job losses, rising costs, and inflation.
“You can't even keep your own country's economy going. As if you’d be keeping Mexico's afloat. Ridiculous,” commented one user. “They are so right. Imagine these areas without waiters,” “Playing ball is the only thing they know how to do because, economically, just like their president, they are screwed,” others added.
The Argentine made these comments precisely regarding the topic of his compatriots working as waiters in Mexico City. When the sports event began and Latin America chose sides to support teams, many Latinos chose Argentina, attacking Mexico and mocking the country.
In response, Mexicans highlighted the economic problems the South American country is facing and the need for its people to migrate and work as waiters abroad, mainly in Mexico City (CDMX).
The issue worsened when an Argentine journalist, identified as Eduardo Feinmann, also mocked Mexican soccer and its linguistic idioms and stated on his show that he detested Mexicans.
“I detest Mexicans, I detest them with my soul. They can shove their ‘ahorita’ where the sun doesn't shine; those guys are detestable. The envy they have for Argentines, not just in soccer, in everything. They envy us, they want to be like us and they don't have what it takes, especially in soccer; they are stiff,” lashed out the man, who later apologized, claiming he was talking about soccer and the 2026 World Cup.
