Dozens of residents of Kibbutz Maflisim organized tonight (Sunday) to watch together the final event of the 2022 World Cup. The happiness that could be seen in the eyes of the members of the kibbutz, most of whom are from Argentina, at the end of the game, cannot be described in words.

Haim, a resident of the kibbutz, stood for the last few minutes with tears in his eyes, even though he is Peruvian and grew up there until the age of 15. Haim is married to an Argentinian woman: "My wife and children are Argentinian. The happiness cannot be explained in words, it is a very great joy," he told Israel today.
At the end of the game, the loudspeakers were turned up to the limit and the residents of the kibbutz started dancing to the chants of "vamos vamos Argentina".
Omri who also lives in the kibbutz promised that their night is far from over, "I'm going to jump into some fountain in Tel Aviv, I don't know what to do" he promised.
holiday for argentinians,
An elderly couple is standing on the sidelines and it seems that even after the final whistle they don't believe in the result: "Deep down in your heart you believe but I didn't really think it would come", a fan who has been waiting since 1986 even said that at his age it is no longer healthy for the heart.
Before the moment of the waving, the residents cleared the square where they had just started dancing, all before the moment of truth - the waving, and for some reason everyone here is tense - as if they still can't believe it.

The children danced and sang,
Great happiness in levels,
