Argentina stars target rivals with 'f***ing English' chant amid raucous World Cup celebrations

Joyous Argentina stars punched their ticket into the World Cup Final before celebrating at the expense of their famous rivals.

And now the delight has come to light with Marca stating the no-holds barred lyrics. They include describing Brazil as the "crumpled five-time champions" and they don't miss the Three Lions with a "f***ing English" roar for good measure. Their inclusion in the Argentina battle cry comes from the bitter fallout that stems from The Falklands War and the recriminations which still fester.

Nicolas Otamendi captured the scenes of joy as players were in fine voice in the wake of their dominant 3-0 win over Croatia and all eyes now turn on France vs Morocco to see who they will face in the Final. Punters across the globe will tune in to see if Lionel Messi will win his first World Cup in what almost certainly be his final major tournament.

The lyrics in full (as stated by Marca)

Brazilian what happened, crumpled five-time champion.

Messi left for Rio and stayed with the cup.

We are the Argentine band and we will always encourage,

Because we have the dream of becoming world champion.

I'm like that, I'm Argentine, f****** English from Malvinas I don't forget.

I am like that, I come to encourage you, I follow Argentina everywhere.
