Argentina fans launch petition in response to France demanding to replay World Cup final

Argentina supporters have hit back in a unique way after French fans' World Cup final protestations, launching a "France stop crying" petition of their own.

More than 220,000 people (at the time of writing) have signed a petition from French outlet MesOpinions calling for the 2022 World Cup final to be replayed. Argentina won the match on penalties after a dramatic 3-3 draw, but France were unhappy with a number of decisions made by referee Szymon Marciniak.

Marciniak himself responded to questions about players being on the field illegally when Argentina's third goal was scored, pointing out that the same applied to one of the French efforts. And now it's the turn of the victors to have their say in the form of a counter-petition.
