The defeat of the Argentinian national team in the youth World Cup final against Morocco sparked a wide wave of reaction in Mexico, reaching the point of public mockery of the "Albiceleste" players on social media.
One of the most prominent reactions in Mexico was the message of the singer León Larregui, the leader of the band "Zoé," who used the result to direct a scathing criticism of the Argentinian team after the final match. The crowning of Morocco with the world title at the expense of the "Albiceleste" ignited widespread celebrations in Mexico, especially in light of the tension that preceded the final due to the mockery of Argentinian players of their opponents during the tournament. Larregui posted a direct message via his social media accounts, in which he wrote: "Great Morocco, bloody their noses," before returning to continue celebrating the coronation of the Moroccan team with another message in which he said: "Morocco!!! Yes!!! Wonderful," and he also reshared goals and celebrations of the team that won the title. León Larregui is one of the most prominent artistic voices in the alternative Mexican rock scene, and he has previously caused controversy on numerous occasions due to his unusual appearances, whether on stage or via social media platforms, a picture that his last message after the youth World Cup final reinforced.
