It’s been tough out there for Latin American teams in this year’s World Cup. As we pour all of our remaining hope into Argentina as they go head to head with the Netherlands this afternoon, we’ve prepared a playlist dedicated to lamenting our heroes and bidding adieu to our antiheroes from this year’s tournament.
