The Mexican fan shouted "fuck you" to the Argentina fan after the world cup game. The Mexican fan has a serious case of sour grapes.

Hi Jorge
"sour grapes" refers to when we really want something but we can't have it. And then we say - oh, I never really wanted it.
So...if someone in Mexico said - oh I didn't really want us to win today.
That would be sour grapes.

Hmmm, not really.
Envy = you really want something someone else has. Their car, their job, their intelligence....
Sour grapes is when you tell yourself something you wanted wasn't very good.
PS sorry about the game today.
