The Paris Olympics kicked off with a bang on Wednesday when Argentina faced Morocco in the men's football tournament.
On paper, it didn't look like a particularly exciting fixture. And scheduling the match for 3pm local time on a Wednesday afternoon signalled that organisers hardly expected it to be prime time viewing.
But what followed was pure chaos.
The drama began before a ball was even kicked when Argentina's national anthem was booed by fans inside the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Etienne amid the racism storm surrounding Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
