There are no examples of top-level teams doing anything similar; yes, there have been bad or mediocre teams doing things like that, but it's something that tournaments have been trying to curb for a long time, it's not something to boast about and take to the highest level, as Argentina has done so many times.
The same goes for racism; many Spanish fans chant nonsense believing it's justified in the stadium. The difference is that the press, institutions, and society are ashamed of it and try to shame those who do it, instead of justifying and defending it with things like "Well, it's just the game."
