Todo Noticias Calls Out 10 High-Profile Figures Including Piers Morgan, Samuel L. Jackson, and IShowSpeed
The football world has been left stunned after an Argentine TV station compiled a “starting XI” of high-profile names they believe are responsible for “Argentinophobia” following the 2026 World Cup.
The bizarre move comes as Argentina continues to face global backlash over their disgraceful behavior during and after the World Cup final. Instead of accepting responsibility, Argentine media has chosen to blame the world for their problems.
Jonatan Viale, in an appearance on Todo Noticias, called out 10 high-profile figures from around the world that are the main culprits of what he calls “Argentinophobia”.
The ‘Starting XI’ of Argentina’s Enemies
The Argentine TV station has named the following individuals as the driving force behind anti-Argentina sentiment:
Position Name Reason for Being Called Out
🥅 GK Samuel L. Jackson American actor called Argentina “one of the most racist countries in the world”
🛡️ LB Claudia Sheinbaum Mexican President — criticized Argentina’s behavior
🛡️ CB Pedro Pascal Chilean actor — known for anti-Argentina sentiment
🛡️ CB Mia Khalifa Former adult star — criticized Argentina’s behavior
🛡️ RB Zohran Mamdan New York Mayor — called out Argentina’s behavior
🌟 LM Piers Morgan English journalist called Argentina “nasty violent thugs”
⚡ CM Hossam Hassan Egypt manager accused FIFA of favoring Argentina
⚡ CM Rosalía Spanish singer — criticized Argentina
🌟 RM Ibai Spanish streamer — criticized Argentina
⚡ ST IShowSpeed American streamer, Ronaldo fan — celebrated Spain’s victory over Argentina
Viale’s response to Piers Morgan’s criticism was particularly defensive:
“Do we really have to put up with an English journalist spouting this nonsense?”
The Global Backlash Argentina Refuses to Accept
Argentina’s behavior during and after the World Cup final sparked worldwide condemnation.
Key incidents that fueled the backlash:
· Leandro Paredes grabbed Eric Garcia by the throat and threw punches at Gavi
· Nahuel Molina punched Spain captain Rodri in the stomach
· Multiple players turned their backs on Spain’s trophy lift
· Conspiracy theories about refereeing bias spread by Argentine media
· 23 million people signed a petition calling for Argentina to be banned
What Each Person Said
Piers Morgan — “Nasty Violent Thugs”
After Spain beat Argentina in the final, the English journalist wrote on X:
“Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes. Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.”
Samuel L. Jackson — “One of the Most Racist Countries”
The American actor called Argentina “one of the most racist countries in the world” following the World Cup final.
Hossam Hassan — “FIFA Favours Argentina”
After Egypt were knocked out by Argentina, Hassan accused FIFA of favouring Lionel Messi and the South American nation:
“This has clearly been rigged, and everyone has seen it. If they want them to win so badly, why are they inviting everyone to participate in the World Cup?”
IShowSpeed — Celebrated Argentina’s Defeat
The 21-year-old American streamer, a mega-fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, was present at many Argentina matches cheering on their opponents. He got into numerous altercations with Argentina fans and celebrated wildly when Spain beat them in the final.
Argentina’s Defiant Response
Instead of accepting responsibility, Argentina’s president and players have doubled down on their defiant stance.
President Milei’s Bizarre Rant
Taking to social media, Milei wrote:
“The problem with Argentina is that we stand out. We don’t go unnoticed, people are jealous of us, and we’re good at almost everything. I’m sorry, but someone had to say it.”
In another post, which showed him wearing an AI-created Argentina shirt under a blazer, he continued:
“Long live Argentina, damn it!”
Another said:
“Do you have enemies? It means you once defended something. We defend Argentina.”
Players Hit Back
Lisandro Martinez wrote in a statement following the World Cup final:
“Remember that ‘the fall of the great is the joy of the mediocre.'”
Alexis Mac Allister said in a social media post:
“And thank you also to those from other countries who send us messages mocking or rejoicing in our pain. Without meaning to, you help us feel more and more proud to be Argentinian every day.”
The Irony — Argentina’s Own Behavior Is the Problem
The irony is glaringly obvious.
Argentina’s TV station has called out global figures for “Argentinophobia” — but the backlash has nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with Argentina’s own disgraceful behavior.
The world didn’t turn against Argentina because they’re “good at everything.” The world turned against Argentina because:
· Their players brawled after the final whistle
· Their fans spread conspiracy theories about corruption
· Their president launched bizarre rants calling critics “jealous”
· Their media blamed the world instead of accepting responsibility
What Happens Now?
1. FIFA Investigation — Ongoing into post-match violence
2. 23 Million Signatures — Petition calling for Argentina’s ban
3. Global Backlash — Continues to grow
4. Falklands Banner — Separate investigation still ongoing
5. Argentine Media — Continues to blame the world
The Final Word
Argentine TV has called out a “starting XI” of global figures they believe are responsible for “Argentinophobia.”
Piers Morgan. Samuel L. Jackson. IShowSpeed. Hossam Hassan. The list goes on.
But the world isn’t jealous of Argentina. The world is disgusted by Argentina’s behavior.
Instead of accepting responsibility, Argentine media has chosen to blame the world.
And that’s why the backlash will only get worse.
