Argentina fans are filmed singing vile racist songs about French players ‘all coming from Angola’ and transphobic chants aimed at Kylian Mbappé LIVE on the pre-World Cup broadcast in Qatar… before the reporter finally cuts them off
A group of Argentine fans in Qatar for the World Cup have chanted vile racist and transphobic chants on live television against the French team and Kylian Mbappé.
The supporters, wearing Argentina shirts, were asked to sing a chant while being interviewed ahead of the tournament on TyC Sports, one of their home country’s leading sports channels.
The fans chanted that French players were ‘all from Angola’ and chanted ‘the f*** travestites like f***ing Mbappé’, in a clear reference to the PSG star’s reported romance with transgender model Ines Rau.
The reporter conducting the interview with the group of Argentine fans then asks them to stop – but only after both derogatory chants have aired, seemingly in full.
He eventually backed away from supporters, labeling the songs “censored.”

An excerpt from Tuesday night’s interview in Qatar has gone viral on social media and has been retweeted more than 20,000 times since it was posted to Twitter.
Only one player in France’s World Cup squad, Eduardo Camavinga, was born in Angola. He grew up in a refugee camp before the now Real Madrid midfielder and his family moved to France when he was two.
Rau was the first trans woman to become Playmate of the Month after appearing in the popular men’s magazine in 2017.
In her autobiography, she documents how she underwent sex reassignment surgery at the age of 16, but did not reveal her true identity until she was 24.
Mbappé and Rau were spotted together at the Cannes Film Festival in May, but neither has publicly commented on their alleged relationship.

France and Argentina are not even in the same group in Qatar, but Didier Deschamps’ men eliminated the South American team in the last 16 at the World Cup in Russia four years ago.
They could meet at the same stage of the tournament this year as Argentina in Group C and France in Group D – although that would require one of them to finish second.
Both sides begin their respective campaigns on Tuesday, with Argentina playing Saudi Arabia and France entertaining Australia.
