Qué noche vivimos en SUR. 🇦🇷⚽️🥹
Gritos, abrazos, lágrimas y muchísima emoción viendo a Messi y la Selección Argentina. Por unas horas, Downtown Elgin se sintió un poquito como Argentina. 💙🤍💙

What a night at SUR. Watching Argentina surrounded by people cheering, hugging and even crying was something special. This is exactly why we love bringing people together.

Gracias a todos los que vinieron. 🫶🏼 Esto es fútbol. Esto es comunidad. Esto es SUR.
