THE PARIS Olympics have begun with boos ringing around the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium in Saint-Etienne.
Fans inside the ground appeared to boo the Argentinian football team during their national anthem.

Argentina take on Morocco in the opening clash of the Olympic football at the Paris games, with fans attending the Olympic games for the first time in eight years.
The boos come following Argentina star Enzo Fernandez’s controversial “racist” video that was streamed on social media earlier this month.
Chelsea midfielder Fernandez live streamed a video of himself and his Argentina teammates singing a sick chant on Instagram following their Copa America success in Miami last week.
The vile chant appeared to take aim at the French national team and dates back to the 2022 World Cup, when Argentina beat France in the final on penalties.
Appearing on live TV back then, some fans from the South American country sang that France’s players were “all from Angola.”
