By Emmanuel Oladele - 'The Washington Post' perspective article as to "why doesn't Argentina have more Black players in the World Cup?" Written by Erika Denise Edwards on December 8th, 2022 has continue to spark reactions from Twitter Users both positively and negatively.

See some comments below, on the subject matter;

• La Libertad Avanza, "We are a Country, not a Disney Movie."

• Rot, "Because is a team not Netflix Movie."

• Albertina Piterbarg, "Soccer in Argentina is beyond everything and above everything and this is what Erika Denise Edwards does not understand. No one would exclude a good player of the national team because of the color of his skin, whether he is black, yellow, violet or transparent."

• Pierpaolo Barbieri, "You need to research before you publish."

• petebennettmazzon, "Sorry but sports is the one arena that is 100% merit based. No matter your ethnicity or skin color you can either cut it or you can't. It's all about the best athletes."

• ThePlaymaker25, "As much as I love football, I never heard nor seen a black argentinian football player. If there were some good ones, they’d have been in a good european club. As there aren’t any, my guess is that they aren’t good enough to be selected for the national team."

• Milko Alejandro García Torres, "Why doesn’t the japanese team have more Black players?

Why doesn’t the icelandic team have more Black players?

Why doesn’t the iranian team have more Black players?

Why doesn’t the russian team have more Black players?

Why doesn’t the korean team have more Black players?"

Perspective: As fans keep up with Argentina’s success in this year’s World Cup, a familiar question arises: Why doesn’t the team have more Black players? Argentina is far more diverse than many realize — but the myth that it’s a White nation has persisted. https://t.co/aSfmELgO7O
