Fans gathered in Mooca to watch the 2026 World Cup semifinal between Argentina and England. The match was shown on a large screen at a gas station in eastern São Paulo on Wednesday afternoon.
The crowded site was closed to refueling as the crowd filled Rua Leme da Silva. Fans sang and played drums to the tune of "La Cuarta Estrela".
Daniel Oliveira, a Brazilian teacher who lived in Argentina, said the match carries meaning beyond football. "Football gives us the chance to be stronger than them", he stated.
Argentina won 2-1, with a goal by Anthony Gordon for England and two for the South American side, the second in stoppage time. The celebration included flares and traditional songs.
Henrique Sbragia and Roseli Panocian also watched the game, expressing support for Argentina due to personal ties and admiration for the team.
