Twitter is abuzz as Andrew Tate trolls Argentina for defeat at the hands of Saudi Arabia in the World Cup

The Qatar World Cup has been one of the most scrutinized footballing tournaments to date. However, as the first FIFA World Cup to be hosted in a Middle Eastern country, it has been a source of great pride for a lot of people from that region.

The feeling has only intensified with Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina. Furthermore, Andrew Tate's tweet about the country has garnered a lot of attention, having accrued over 50,000 likes within hours of it being posted. Here are some of the reactions.

A notable return to Twitter for Andrew Tta

Having been unbanned by Elon Musk under the new Twitter policy, Tate joined a long list of previously banned people who have returned to the website, including Kanye West, Jordan B. Peterson, and former American President Donald J. Trump.

Having overturned his ban from 2017 for his comments about se*ual assault, Andrew Tate has taken the internet by storm with his return to social media. The contentious figure gained a solid million followers on the very first day he returned to Twitter.

Apart from being in the news for his polarizing comments regarding women and their roles in society, Tate made headlines a few weeks ago for converting to Islam. The British-American billionaire also clashed with UK Twitch streamer and YouTuber TrueGeordie a few weeks ago, with the latter getting a lot of backlash after making Islamophobic comments about Tate.

Interestingly, despite having almost 2 million followers on Twitter, Tate is yet to get the iconic blue tick verification next to his name.
