Despite the overwhelming presence of Argentine fans, who filled the New Jersey-New York Stadium and painted the streets of Manhattan in their team's colors, the Spanish supporters, though fewer in number, generated an electric atmosphere. Chants of "A por ellos" (Go get them) and defiant remarks directed at FIFA President Infantino, who was rumored to be Argentine, underscored their passionate support.
