Argentina asks Russia to deport fans involved in post-match brawl
Elía, Pardo, Eslejer and Catalán are the four hooligans identified in the video who savagely beat a Croatian citizen. We are asking #Russia authorities to arrest and deport them,” Bulrich wrote on Twitter

The video recorded after the match between Croatia and Argentina in Nizhny Novgorod showed a group of fans mercilessly kicking a man wearing a red and white Croatian shirt.

The video footage immediately went viral, sparking angry reactions from fans around the world with many calling on FIFA and the Russian authorities to punish the troublemakers.

The fans’ violent actions were likely triggered by Argentina’s poor performance at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium after Lionel Messi and Co. were sensationally beaten 3-0, leaving their World Cup hopes in the balance.
