Argentines pack the streets after FIFA World Cup win

From Morning Report, 8:54 am on 21 December 2022

Hundreds of thousands - millions by some estimates - of Argentines have packed into the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate the country's football World Cup win. 

The Argentinan football team touched down on home soil late last night (NZ time) to crowds cheering, waving flags and howling with excitement. 

Today has been made a bank holiday so fans "can express their deepest joy for the national team".
