Chiqui Tapia appeared at Buenos Aires celebrations after Argentina’s loss. Fans packed the streets to celebrate the World Cup run. He stood with them speechless. The mood stayed solemn but comforting. People raised flags and sang songs anyway. The city remained quiet, holding its breath. Supporters carried their colors, unfazed despite the result. Some whispered the team's past glories. The air was thick with reflective silence. A few children skipped to the distant chants. Later, volunteers distributed water bottles to the crowd. The night ended with low music echoing through the avenues.
