Twitter users in Argentina, journalists, politologists, and regular citizens expressed Tuesday their anger and disappointment at the horrible reception and parade organized by the Argentine authorities for the World Cup winners, drawing a comparison with the Moroccan celebratory reception for its Atlas Lions.

Alejandro Forgasi, An Argentine lawyer and politician close to the Security Minister, Patricia Bullrich, twitted a video of the Moroccan Reception, with a one-word caption “Marruecos”.
Lucas Romero, a famous politologist in Argentina, applauded the Moroccan organization, criticizing the lack of willingness in his Homeland to give a better image to the Crowned squad.
Political activist Barby Fleming condemned the security disengagement in the event, by comparing the two historic events.
La scaloneta, a famous influencer, highlighted the appalling bus tour that risked the players’ lives, by going under high-tension electricity cables.
More than 3 million Argentines took streets to celebrate the World Cup win but the security measures were not in phase with the major event.
The players were obliged to interrupt the bus tour and continue the parade by helicopter after two fans jumped from a bridge into the bus.
E-paper “Marca” reported that several people were injured during the festivities. Some fell from trees, lampposts, and the bridge, causing the tour to be canceled.
