"We Drove 20 Hours For This": Argentina Fans Bring World Cup Party To Kansas City

Argentina supporters transformed Kansas City and New York into a sea of sky blue and white ahead of the team's World Cup campaign. Fans sang, danced, waved flags bearing the images of Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, and celebrated deep into the night as excitement built for Argentina's opening match. Some supporters travelled thousands of miles to be there, with one fan describing chants breaking out on a flight from New York to Kansas City, while another drove 20 hours from Miami with friends in a rented motorhome. From packed gatherings in Mill Creek Park to jubilant scenes in Times Square, Argentina's faithful brought their trademark passion to the United States as they dream of seeing Messi lift another World Cup trophy.
