She even dribbled the ball a little bit and walked with it as she catwalked…

How did she not walk away with the Miss Universe crown after all that? Yeah OK it might’ve been an idea to bust out a few keepy-uppies or boot the ball off the stage instead of feebly lobbing it with her hands, but still – she’s in a Diego Maradona outfit. You’d think that would be a winner under any circumstances.
In fact, Alina didn’t even crack the Top 5. What kind of BS is that? The winner was Miss Mexico – Andrea Meza:
Mama mia! Maybe that’s understandable. Still, would Diego Maradona have ever allowed Mexico to beat Argentina? No chance.
Alina didn’t even win the Best Costume section of the competition – that went to Miss Myanmar, who also looked awesome to be fair:
Well I guess we can’t complain too much – everyone looked pretty incredible on the night. Congrats to Miss Argentina for taking a gamble in any case. Diego would’ve been proud.
