A clip of Scotland fans erupting in celebration at Argentina’s winning World Cup semi-final goal against England has gone viral on social media.
Football fans gathered at The Ball Room Sports Bar & Pool Hall in Edinburgh’s Meadowbank to watch Wednesday night’s semi-final between the two sides.
While England went 1-0 up in the 55th minute thanks to Anthony Gordon, Thomas Tuchel’s men conceded from an Enzo Fernandez strike in the 85th minute before Lautaro Martinez hit home the winner seven minutes later.
The Ball Room shared a clip of the moment the winning Argentinian goal hit the back of the net, with the packed bar erupting in celebrations.
The venue shared the clip on Facebook with the tongue-in-cheek caption: “Anyone but England”.

After eliminating England from the competition with their added-time winner, Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup final, which takes place on Sunday, July 19.
Meanwhile, England will come up against France in their third-place match on Saturday evening (July 18).
