Argentina’s president touted a national holiday celebrating the World Cup after his team actually lost the final to Spain.
Milei’s Premature Party
Talk about awkward timing. President Javier Milei posted a celebratory “WORLD CELEBRATION” tweet promising Argentina a national holiday to honor “the achievement reached by the Argentine National Team” — except Argentina had just lost 1-0 to Spain in the World Cup final. Social media had a field day, with many wondering if Milei had pre-written the post assuming a win, echoing Argentina’s 2022 triumph, Huffpost reports.
Despite the mockery, the post stayed up, likes climbing past 157,000 by Monday afternoon — suggesting the runner-up celebration is happening regardless of the scoreline.
