MILLIONs of Argentine citizens spilled over to crowd the streets of the capital Buenos Aires after Gonzalo Montiel successfully executed a penalty and ensured that the airlifting Team won the 2022 World Cup.waswast disappeared instantly, changing with joy and tears of emotion.

They sang jumping over and over following Captain Lionel Messi and other Argentine players at the Lusail Iconic Stadium, Lusail, Qatar.

"It's amazing. I'm out of words. This means a lot to us," said Henrique Ferenz, who watched Qatar's 2022 World Cup final match, Argentina vs France with his son at a cafe in Buenos Aires City on December 18.

This reminds me in 1986, continued Ferenz, telling his memories when the Argentine Team won the World Cup title in Mexico 36 years ago as reported by Politico.

At that time, Argentine Football Legend Diego Maradona and his friends also had to struggle in the knockout stages. Through Uruguay's obstacles, beating England with goals HANDs God in the quarter-finals, beating Belgium in the semifinals, to finally winning 3-2 in the final match against West Germany.

Another Argentine in Buenos Aires City, Juan Pablo Iglesias also couldn't hide his joy. He immediately hugged his eight-year-old son in tears of emotion, We are champions.'

The 2022 World Cup champion seems to be a pain reliever for the Argentine people due to the crisis that is hitting the wheat-producing country.

In recent months, Argentina has experienced a very severe economic crisis with inflation rates reaching 100 percent. Hit by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, strengthening the US dollar exchange rate or the US high-interest rate policy, and the energy crisis caused by the Russian-Ukraine war.

Prices jumped dramatically, even fastest since the 1990s. The high cost, makes a number of people have to sell or exchange what they have to survive. Reportedly, until someone exchanged clothes for a bag of sugar, or anything else to just meet basic needs.

Argentine President Alberto Fern Sardez has tried to stabilize the currency and economy by limiting or imposing export taxes on major commodities of agricultural goods such as soybeans, meat, and wheat.

However, according to POlitico, critics consider the protective action to only worsen the situation.

Not to mention the domestic political issues that continue to rage. The sentence of six years in prison against Argentine Vice Presidentpany Fernandez de Kirchner over corruption cases adds to the complete suffering of the Argentine people. This is the first time in Argentine history, the vice president is still serving as being convicted of a crime.

Launching from the Associated Press, Jaksa considers Kirchner has led a partnership that violated the law during his time as President of Argentina from 2007 to 2015. Making a bribe scheme by directing a lucrative public work contract to his friend in exchange for bribes.

Entrepreneur Lazaro Baez, owner of a construction company accused of being the main beneficiary of the scheme, was also sentenced to six years in prison.

Kirchner, after the court's verdict on December 7, denied and considered himself a victim of the judicial mafia. Prior to the verdict, this 69-year-old woman also accused the prosecutor of lying and slandering her.

True or wrong, this fact further proves that Argentine's political and economic conditions are indeed at their lowest point.

So, Argentina's victory over France, according to Ferenz, "It's a relief, given the situation we're in."

Alberto Fernandez was happy. Through his Twitter account, he thanked the players and the technical team, "They are an example that we must not give up. That we have great people and a bright future."

Heads of state from a number of Latin American countries, such as Brazil's President-elect CLA da Silva, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Bolivian President Luis Arce, Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso, and Chilean President Gabriel Boric congratulated Argentina on the title of World Cup 2022 Champion.
