A group of Argentina supporters cranked up the pre-match hostility ahead of Wednesday's FIFA World Cup semifinal against England by BURNING the Union Jack. Footage captured a crowd of jubilant Argentines setting the flag ablaze in Escobar, on the outskirts of the capital, Buenos Aires.
Loud cheers ring out from the gathered crowd as the flames take hold. Several onlookers are also visible leaping into the air while chanting: "He who doesn't jump is an Englishman."
The clip is reported to have been filmed following Argentina's victory over Switzerland on Saturday, with the Three Lions having already secured their spot in the semifinals earlier that day. The reigning World Cup champions haven't faced England since a 2005 friendly, as per The Mirror.
