This happened 2002, I used to hang at an expats bar in Atlanta. It was wild APD split the bar in half. If you were English/Scot/Irish/etc an officer would escort them to the bathrooms on the other side of the establishment and walk them back. 90% of the expats served in the Falklands and were begging for a fight.
The Argentinians were younger/mostly kids. Never probably served so it was so insane how angry the expats were.
The chant most sung was "Go home you dirty Argey bastards go home go home" over and over again. There were others but thats the one I remember.
Match ended the police escorted the Argentinians out as this was an expats bar. Expats went full retard as they won, hammed drunk in the AM, needless to say none of them were going to work lol
The dirty Argey bastards chant probably has more to do with Simeone’s dark arts four years before. The English really got whipped into a frenzy when Beckham got himself sent off. I was in a small ~~Welsh~~ Argentinian pub at the time. Hilarious.
