Soccer Hooligans Well-Behaved Fans

It's a standard stereotype that Argentines are crazy for soccer. But how do you prove that under the "Show, Don't Tell" law? This photo may help.

Above, at a local Frávega store during Argentina's sad 4-1 loss to Brasil in the finals of Confederations Cup, the halls were half full of Porteños sad at being thwarted by Brasil again.
