(The) emotions about Argentina

[thehammer]

Hello, I have provided to sentences, which are quite similar. The first sentence sounds grammatical. Do I need to use 'the' in the second one?

1- Emotions are running high about Argentina winning the FIFA world cup.
2- (The) emotions about Argentina winning the FIFA world cup are running high.

No, you don't need "the". But the sentence sounds odd--it sounds as if some people are angry or displeased about the result.

What exactly do you want to say? I could guess but it'd be better if you explained it.

I don't see anything odd about that!

I mean people's emotions about the match.

I mean people's emotions about the match.

That was obvious from your first post. I was asking you to explain what you want to say--context, in short. Which people's? Where? Do you mean in Argentina? Or the French dressing room? Or somewhere else?

Hello.

I have provided two sentences no comma here which that are quite similar.

I'm sure we've reminded you before to put a full stop after a greeting such as "Hello". However, there is absolutely no need to open your posts with any kind of greeting. Just go straight in with your question.

Those emotions are from people who love Argentina.

Emotions are running high (in Argentina) after Argentina won the World Cup.
Emotions are running high among Argentine supporters after it won the World Cup.

I'd take this as something that was said immediately or a short while after the final.

That's meant to be ironic; the smiley suggests that , right?

Right. I'm not a fan of Argentina.

@thehammer It would have have been much simpler to say that Argentine fans were happy that their team won. Or, to use your phrase, you could have said that emotions were running high in Argentina after their team won.
