Thanks Best fans in the world is a horse manure term used either by people who are clueless about supporting football or used in a praising manner to congratulate for particular actions or a series of actions. If we were the so called best fans in the world then LR would be packed to the rafters with thousdands locked out. The reality is we have a hard core of fans for home games and a smaller core for away games. There's numerous reasons for that and I'm not going into them as for example someone who can make every home game may quite simply be able to attend away games for very good reason.   Best fans in the world bollixology is typically bandied about after for example the 8 minute rendition against Spain or in general because we had huge numbers in Poland. Sadly though a lot of these had never been seen before which is one thing, maybe their spark was ignited by going to Poland and fair play to those who went first time and stuck with it, but more importantly were not seen afterwards.   Simply, no. I don't buy any of it. We have some of the greatest fans in the world however in terms of living and breathing the national team, bursting a gut to make sure they can go everywhere. Importantly, those that do go everywhere and I almost include myself in this category, we bahave, have a laugh, and  make friends the world over. There's not one place in the world I'd imagine that has hosted us and can honestly say they wouldnt have us back. Being a fan extends to more than the 90  minutes on the pitch or in a stadium.

Sham, well said to be fair. I agree 90%

to be honest we, Argentina are the worst fans in the world or near it,  the Political parties they give "black money"  to barras bravas (like hooligans but worst because they are connected to the political power, police protected, drug connections,  from the county governing power, the provincial governing power and the national governing power  since the actual AFA lord took over in 1979 and you make a fuss about Delaney) structural corruption, so politicians they finance them to WC to insult and to make riots worldwide.  200 dead to this date since 1979 in savage riots in football matches inside the stadiums or nearby them. 
This Jules Grondona guy that is vice president of FIFA he was with the military power, then democracy came over and with the left wing power, the right wing power, the conservative power, the neoliberal power, the populist power, his reign survived all of them.  They re-sale the tickets to have money on their own, the directors of the clubs are connected with them because they are like a hooligan-brigade.  It happened in Barça also the former president Laporte told the other day on ESPN+ how they destroyed that pool of corruption, interests, politicians, football directors, police and violence.

people getting uppity about booing a player?? why? its all pantomime anyway. if you can unsettle/unnerve an opposition player to the benefit of your own team why not?
