Uruguayans don't like Argentinians for two rather obvious reasons. One being they are right next to Buenos Aires, and people from Capital are as obnoxious as they come, and two because Uruguay has an inferiority complex the size of mount Everest. Urunobili being exhibit A, B, and C in this forum.
Of course, I would like to add I'm Argie and even I'm not liking Argentina at the moment so can't blame the Uruguayans.
Now… fair question… why almost everybody hates argentines… It’s a known fact that in sport they root for Uruguay, Mexico, Chile, etc… but people from all those countries hate argies with passion, could it be a jealously sort of thing? Is it because argies are arrogants as ? Or they hate them because Argentina in constantly kicking their butts in major sports?
imo, the "arrogant as " card is overplayed when it comes to Argies... While it's true that some of the biggest icons that the country produced were major arrogant assholes (Maradona, Vilas, etc), and that your average porteño is an insecure obnoxious arrogant prick, if you actually went outside the capital city you'll find a lot of real humble and real good people. Manu is a good example of that.
BTW that wall could have been painted back in 07… that might explain Tony up there… if painted on 2010, I’m almost positive Kome would be the chosen character.
And BTW, I don't know where you got the idea that Argentina roots for anything other than Argentina 1st and against Brazil 2nd...
Well… I have friends…. If Mexico plays against any European team or the US Argies want Mexico to win… same for Uruguay… they want them to win against pretty much everybody…. But I’ve been in bars and crap and Mexicans simply hate argies… want them to lose even if playing a pick up game.
You can easily chalk that up as Argies viewing Mexico as the underdog. As far as rooting against the US goes, hating on the US has always been in style over there.
I've spent quite a bit of time in both BsAs and Uruguay (all over but mostly Montevideo) and I think people are just making this up to stir things up a bit. I guess people are bored. Anybody from France would root against England, Germany or Italy in soccer... doesn't mean we actually them, wouldn't go there to live/work or vacation, don't like the food, etc.
BsAs is a bit like New York... it's Argentina and then again it's not _really_ Argentina. But I've met people from everywhere in Argentina who were just extremely nice people (special memories with people from Rosario, Tu an, Bahia Blanca, Neunque, Bariloche and even Ushuaia). Just the same in Uruguay, people always did something extra to be nice and helpful to a visitor. In both cases some of the nicest people I've met in my travels. Great memories, especially in Montevideo near the main place in the center, there was a great pizza place (Bar Tasende) and a bar nearby with concerts twice a week with a GREAT drummer. Excellent stuff.
As for Uruguay, yeah they probably suffer from an inferiority complex (in football or even rugby!) but I think it's quite easy to understand. It doesn't mean it's particularly mean, though.
I remember a great parody of Argentina with a map of Latin America with all the countries bunched and nice to each other, and Argentina alone on the side
+ a Pilsen!!!!I would love me a chivito sandwich right now...
Superiority brings jealousy
They most likely simply want the Latin American team to win.
Pretty much the only thing in which Argentina is superior to Uruguay right now is sports. Everything else they are head and shoulders above us.
Their unemployment rate is at an all time low, and not the bull "jobs" they create here in Argentina, where they hire 10 people to do a job designed for 1 just so they can say they've reduced unemployment. They don't openly condone crime and violence by inaction like our government does. They understand that to create jobs, you don't fabricate positions, you try and create an environment that is conducive to investment and the creation of job SOURCES, we're too stupid to understand that difference.
No, right now, little brother is kicking big brother's ass.
Dude, just get out of there already.
lol all Argies trolled on this thread
speaking about inferiority complex they all reacted like rats at sinking ship!
TBH, you see Manu jersey's everywhere here

I am about to go a rehearsal with it today.
I bought that decal at Academy in SAT back when they had REAL Spurs stuff all over in 2006
this pretty much answers the question why are argentines arrogant. They truly believe inside their little heads that they are superior to others.
Dude just get outta here because this will continue for the next 4 years for sure because the other options we have as posible presidents are jokes.
lol..I was precisely only speaking about sports...the reason why many other countries can be jealous of Argentina, a small country (relatively, population-wise) that still pumps out athletes like no other..soccer, basketball, rugby, tennis, golf, and others.
Anything government/economy related..yeah no , Argentina is embarrassing. Completely stuck in one place in time, and seems as though will never evolve. It's a good thing my parents had the vision and drive to bring the dynasty North.
I was referring precisely to sports, and with a slight trollish connotation. Those Brazilians are pretty y when it comes to soccer I'd say...and I have no damn problem with it, they deserve it.this pretty much answers the question why are argentines arrogant. They truly believe inside their little heads that they are superior to others.
This is, pretty much, an idea you have in your head.this pretty much answers the question why are argentines arrogant. They truly believe inside their little heads that they are superior to others.
So the USA people think they are worth ? i don't think so, many doesn't understand a lot outside of their own country and not recognizing other is just another form of arrogance.
I think it's good for a country to love itself an its culture, go ask brazilians which country is the best, i bet everyone would say Brasil.
That "argies are obnoxius bas s" thing is something that has been invented long before i was born, and for what i can say, it's not true, aside from some people from the richest neibourhoods in Buenos Aires.
It would be like if i said that every american is a new yorker, or every Spaniard is Frankista, or every Italian is Facist. It is simply a general rule that should not be applyed so lightly.
I bet everyone here can look at Scola for example, a head down work hard guy with no ego. A ginobili who is also from Buenos Aires (not capital city), or pretty much our entire Basketball team whose players suceeded on the bases of humilty and hard work.
Whatever, i think the reason Argentina is so much hated is because most people has not been here, i thouth Brazil was the best, i was there this year and it was a so-so country. Yet i respect those who love it and think its nice. Because i can understand the reasons behind that thoughts. I can do both, not like it and still understand it, because i've been there and know it.
The feel that people in this thread that are not from Latin America has stated, that Buenos Aires is a bit like New York, or Paris, is what exasperates every other latin american city.
Buenos Aires is usually put as a beacon of fashion, style or whatever, but you have to remember that it's only a metropolis on a very big and not fully populated country. Argentina has lots of small towns and very few metropolis, hence, we are not all the same.
oh yeah, CROFL if you are an American... I mean, a citizen of the United States, born and raised.this pretty much answers the question why are argentines arrogant. They truly believe inside their little heads that they are superior to others.
CROFL @ the Murican
Lol all Argies SEVERELY trolled now
Lol hater is more latin than all of us Rio de la Plata European wannabes
Lol Argentineans thinking they're greater than us in sports when just in soccer we have the same historic wins at every level being ten time smaller
uruguay is a great place, but instead of Pilsen with your chivito, have a Patricia.
oh wait, I responded to this thread, my argie arrogant self has been trolled by urunobili

Congrats on winning the very first world cup, and not another since 1950.
