Fans brawl and clash with police before Brazil-Argentina World Cup qualifier
#WorldCup #Brazil #Argentina

Brazil did this on purpose. Argentinian fans were surrounded by Brazilian. So the blame fall Brazil.
Imagine three seconds later you hear gunshots💀
Those police are thirsty for blood. Kind of psychotic actually.
Common thing in Brazil
🤣LOL
Argentinos são baderneiros e racistas, por isso apanharam. Eles precisam aprender a respeitar as pessoas, principalmente quando estão num país que não é o deles.
Batak sial dorang ni 😂
POLICE ARE HATING THE WINNERS
I'm really disappointed with Brazil's police.
thats what you get for racism
Argentina "took care" of you
that's why mexicans hate Argentinans so much😂
Every Brazil x Argentina match ends like this, no matter what is the hosting country, always been like this for the last 50 years, they just can't have a single peaceful match
These are two national teams that should have more security measures. In the pasts, they have instances of violence resulting in injuries or even death. Most of these who paid the price we’re Argentinian fans and players. FIFA should know better when having fixtures involving rival national teams. If they play another match together, you might as well get the SWAT or even the national guard to do crowd control.
The people that organized this would also think it's a good idea allow palestinian fans be next to israel fans, or russian alongside ukranians.
What in the world were they thinking.
<Hit 100k today. Thanks for the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over last months, started with $8k in February
whos fault
A Polícia brasileira sempre tão gentil 😂
As they say in Brazil, "The cudgel broke tasty". That's normal here in Brazil.
Good job for brazilian police finally they stop those show off fans they always think they can do what ever they want in every competition or matches making noise and fighting other fans specially after they got world cup there head become very big
All you Americans act shocked since the rest of the world started to be interested in soccer since the last world cuz like Brazil and Argentina haven’t had beef for decades 😂😂😂😂
The fact this all happened because a home fan tried to put a banner on the away side disgusts me
Brazil should be punished by FIFA this is outrageous Brazilian police beating Argentinian fans horrible
Orgulho da policia brasileira, botou os argentinos racistas no seu devido lugar
Sorry for this incident…
Argentina pessi fans are always like Violence
Brazil vs Argentina, seems some Latino stuff.
😆😆😆😆😅🤣🤣😂
Seems lot of penaldo fan here 😂😂
Based police
Ao menos os Argentinos sabem porque estão apanhando. Eles tem um hábito safado de chamar todos de macacos, o refúgio dos nazistas.
