    Following their last minute loss last night in the World Cup final, Argentinians are NOT happy campers. Everyone deals with loss differently and the Argentina supporters are letting out their frustration and disappointment in some less than constructive ways.

    The clashes occurred in the center of the Argentinian capital, near the landmark Obelisk of Buenos Aires, where thousands of people peacefully gathered earlier to cheer for their team.

    The violence erupted when a group of 15 football fans climbed onto a TV news van and ripped off the antenna. The situation then further deteriorated as youths hurled rocks and vandalized stores in the city center after the World Cup loss.

    Elsewhere in the Argentine capital, disgruntled fans set fire to trash cans and blocked roads with makeshift barricades.

    More than 30 people were detained and some 20 injured – 15 of them police – Telam news agency reported, citing police sources.

     Meanwhile, there have been reports of similar disturbances in San Miguel – a northwest region of Greater Buenos Aires. Police detained five people there. Violence also broke out in the city of La Plata where police reportedly detained 10 people for disturbing the peace.

    After a less than satisfying game, the last-minute success of the German team seems to have been what pushed Argentinians to boiling point. A disappointing end to a hard earned spot in the final.
