Captaining his country

Simeone played for the Argentinian national side between 1988 and 2002. Punters can find Uganda betting apps on 1xbet.ug/mobile/, and they can be used for wagering on the Argentine national side.

During that period, he played 108 matches and scored 11 goals. He played for Argentina in three separate FIFA World Cups, including the 1998 one. Here is when he had an altercation with David Beckham. During a match between Argentina and England in the competition, Simeone had made a harsh foul to the English player. A few minutes later, Beckham retaliated and kicked the Argentinian midfielder.

The English was sent-off as a result of this action. Years later, Simeone admitted that he exaggerated his reaction for Beckham’s kick. The reason for that was to convince the referee to show a red card to the English star. Football fans can find the 1xBet Uganda betting apps on the official website of the platform, which feature the FIFA World Cup.
