Argentina vs England: Messi's outstanding performance sends China into a frenzy

I'm happy Argentina beat the UK; the UK is OG evil while Argentina's just lost its mind for now. I can't imagine going nuts like that for another country's wins and have no idea why Chinese people even like soccer but I'm pulling for Spain in the next match. Spain is the most clear-minded country in the EU at the moment (though the Irish ain't bad either). I'd be shocked if Trump didn't try his very hardest to cheat against Spain.

I watched a video yesterday in which the creator argued that modern football has turned into a religion.
I don't entirely agree with this view, but seeing those fanatical football enthusiasts, I sometimes find myself agreeing with the idea.

They beat England, not the UK, and many in Scotland/Wales/NI will have been just as happy as you to see it.

Some comments think this is fake? They throw kicks and punches missing most of the time. If you were going to fake it, you make them score hit more than that.
They say that stuff every time China has one of these vids. At this point its just them being in denial and unable to face reality. We already can see robots do a lot of stuff with our own eyes now.

Besides this stuff is clumsy as hell. Not anything AI would look like.

That’s why the Fox News segment on their anchor getting a sausage from a robot is so great — they either have to admit that Fox News is fake or that China is advanced.
