The victory over France in the World Cup final on penalties after a 3-3 tie is now over 35 hours old. But the celebrations in Argentina don’t seem to be slowing down. News footage from Buenos Aires shows how passionate the fans are about their team.
 
They will now spend the rest of the night at the training ground of the Argentine Football Association. At noon, they will head into the city (3 pm Irish time).
 
Fans will join them at the famous Obelisco de Buenos Aires in the city’s center to celebrate the win.
World Cup Trophy Celebration in Argentina
Since the big win on Sunday night, thousands of fans have been partying in the city. Many of them camped out in front of the training center all day yesterday.
 

Many people have said that Sunday’s final was the best of all time. It’s Argentina’s first win since 1986 when Diego Maradona led them to victory. Messi said after his historic win, “It’s crazy that it happened this way.”
 
“I wanted this so badly. I knew that God would give me this gift and I felt like this was the right one.”
 
Alexis Mac Allister is one of the players who is happy this morning. His great-grandfather left Ireland in 1868 to go to Argentina.
 
Messi was on the plane with the World Cup. Nicolás Tagliafico, on the other hand, posted a picture of the World Cup buckled into an airplane seat as if it were just another passenger.

Fernández, the Security Minister, said that as of early Tuesday morning, there were no official plans for Fernández or any other political leaders to take part in the celebrations. This was despite rumors that the players would go to Government House, which had been offered for the celebrations.
