The thousands of fans who came to push the Argentina team painted Qatar and provide an atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words, but also the millions who remained at home created great pictures when they went out to celebrate the Albiceleste's 0:3 victory over Croatia in the semi-finals of the World Cup last night (Tuesday).
In Buenos Aires, the crowds flocked to the Obelisk, where spontaneous celebrations are held after every achievement not only of the national team, but also of the local teams.
In other cities outside the Argentinian capital, people took to the streets to rejoice at qualifying for the second final in three World Cups.
Even in Barcelona, and even here in Tel Aviv, the Argentinian fans wildly celebrated the tremendous victory over the outgoing world runner-up.
