In France, they took the loss to the Argentina team in the World Cup final this evening (Sunday) hard.
Several hours after the end of the match, riots between fans and police began in the country's capital, Paris.
The police began to disperse and arrest fans on the Champs Elysees, and were attacked with stones and fireworks.
The policemen who have been in the area for the past two days do not allow passers-by to cross the road from one side to the other - and apparently this is what caused the riot to break out.
