Sick Argentina fans in racist chant towards Mbappe suggesting France team ‘come from Angola’ as TV host cuts them off
ARGENTINA fans in Qatar have performed sickening racist and transphobic chants towards Kylian Mbappe and the France national team.
The supporters were being interviewed for a TV segment after arriving early for the tournament in the Middle East.
A reporter from TyC Sports - an Argentine based sports channel - asked them to perform a chant for the cameras... before things went badly wrong.
Despite not even being in the same group as the French, the group of supporters gleefully aimed hideous abuse at Les Bleus.
The Argentine fans performed a vile chant in which they claimed French players to be "all from Angola".
One player in the French squad, Eduardo Camavinga, was born in the African country - before moving to France at the age of two.

The Argentine fans also targeted French star Mbappe with a transphobic chant.
Their disgusting song sought to target the PSG striker regarding rumours surrounding his dating life.
During the chant, TyC Sports' embarrassed reporter had to quickly get the fans to stop.
