While their hosts nurse their wounded pride and dream of what might have been, Argentina’s fans are taking over Brazil on the eve of the World Cup final. Having waited 36 years for the World Cup to return to South America, Argentina’s fans have travelled en-masse to neighbouring Brazil, and are making their mark.

In the video below it appears 3 fans of Brazilian club side Internacional begin singing in a shopping centre, with a hefty population of Argentina supporters in their midst. The reaction they get is a slow building one, but by the end there’s no doubt who’s in charge as, to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s ‘Bad Moon Rising’, hundreds of Argentine fans sing the song that has become their unmistakeable call at this tournament: ‘Brazil, Decime Que Se Siente’, or ‘Brail, tell me how it feels’, a song whose lyrics foretell of Argentine joy, and Brazilian humiliation.
