Recap: 2024 Paris Olympics
SEVENS
The partisan Parisian crowd in the packed Stade de France is booing Argentina's men's team.
Loud jeers echoed around the large cauldron when they entered the field for their second group match against Samoa.
Those boos, however, have been silenced. Los Pumas lead the Samoans 21-0 at half-time and are breezing into the quarterfinals.
The hostility towards them might come from the men's football World Cup final in 2022, when France lost on penalties to Argentina in Qatar. I can't think of another reason.
