Thousands in Bangladesh cheer Argentina World Cup win

As Argentina claimed a decisive 2-0 World Cup victory over Poland early Wednesday, thousands of fans were erupting in celebration thousands of kilometres away on a grassy field in Bangladesh.

From young children to retirees, many clad in blue and white or waving Argentinian flags, the throng stood for nearly the entire match as they watched on giant screens in the main square of the capital's Dhaka University.
