FIFA World Cup: Woman from Argentina wears tricolour, says tribute to Indians’ love for the team. Watch

In the video, the man from Kerala and the woman from Lionel Messi’s homeland are seen with flags wrapped around them. While the Indian man has the Argentinian flag, the woman has the tricolour in her hands. Both of them turn to face the camera. The man, speaking in Malayalam, says that he spotted her during Argentina’s game. She was wearing India’s flag and told him that Indians love Argentina so much, that is why she was wearing the tricolour.

As the woman smiles brightly, he adds that whenever he spots a fan from Brazil, Portugal or any other country, he shows them photographs from Kerala as proof of his state’s love for football. Hopefully, he says, one day, Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr or Cristiano Ronaldo would notice the craze and play for Kerala Blasters or any other league in the state.
