Argentinians show pride in Buenos Aires despite World Cup final defeat

Here we are on Corrientes Avenue, one of the most important and emblematic streets in Buenos Aires, where thousands, tens of thousands of people are marching. They're walking towards the obelisk. Some may be going home. But what initially started as a very, very sad finale, they had hoped they would win. They had hoped that somehow Lionel Messi and the rest of the team would be able to do almost the unthinkable, the dream of winning two World Cups back to back. But now they say that that sadness has been overcome by a sense of pride, of unity. They say that this really shows, especially this, the smiles you're seeing on so many people's faces, that people in Argentina are proud of their team and they're proud of what they were able to do. So for all the excitement and the happiness that people are trying to show now, they know that this was the last World Cup final in which they will see Lionel Messi as the captain. In four more years, he will be 43 years old. So it's highly unlikely that he will be playing on the team. So they're going to have to come up with a new team. And in the meantime, they are going to continue to celebrate for as long as they possibly can.
