Pascual spent them all in Doha.
First, he was about to miss the World Cup due to the country's economic difficulties in being able to travel and, then, he had a scare in the run-up to the match with Australia for the round of 16: he suffered a decompensation and had to be assisted by other fans in the stadium.
Finally, the episode was not serious.
Tula would receive The Best.
Argentina, nominated for best fans
The reasons for the nomination of the Argentine fans are justified from two factors.
On the one hand, all the fans who flocked to Qatar and accompanied La Scaleneta on their way to the title and, on the other, the millions who filled the streets in every corner of the country to celebrate each victory and burst with emotion when they lifted the Cup.
From the official FIFA website they maintained: "The trip from Argentina to Qatar is not exactly short, but
the fans of the albiceleste came to Doha in large numbers since the start of the championship to support Lionel Messi in his last attempt to win the only trophy that remained elusive until then
."
