Argentina players celebrate reaching World Cup final by mocking England, Brazil

Argentina's players enjoyed mocking England and Brazil after reaching the World Cup final.

They celebrated victory over Croatia and reaching the World Cup final by singing an X-rated anti-English song and mocking Brazil.

Nicolas Otamendi filmed his team-mates belting out a chant that references the Falklands War in wild dressing room celebrations.

The South American champions reached a sixth World Cup final on Tuesday with a 3-0 win over 2018 finalists Croatia.

Captain Lionel Messi turned in another mesmerising display, scoring and assisting, while Manchester City's Julian Alvarez bagged a brace.

Argentina will play the winners of Wednesday's semi-final between current world champions, France, and dark horses Morocco on Sunday.

Like after Argentina's 2-0 group win over Mexico, jubilant scenes followed in the dressing room.

It saw the Argentine players mock England and Brazil with a new song which has become popular during the tournament.

Defender Otamendi filmed shirtless Argentina players singing "Ingleses putos de Malvinas no me olvido", which has a rough translation of "f***ing English in the Falklands, I don't forget".

The full chant goes: "Brazilian, what happened, the five-time champions screwed up.

"Messi went to Rio and he left with the cup [in reference to their Copa America win on Brazilian soil]. We are the Argentine band and we will always cheer them on, because we have the dream of being the world champion.

"I'm like that, I am Argentinian, f***ing English in the Falklands, I don't forget.

"I'm like that, I encourage you, I follow Argentina everywhere."

Lisandro Martinez and Alvarez, who play their football in England at Manchester United and City respectively, could be seen joining in.
