No we didn't. Especially in football.
In 1990 WC, Argentina players gave poisoned water for Brazilian players, so they could win the game. Maradona said it (and laught about it) on national television and he was applauded by Argentines that laughed with him and made fun of Brazil.
I really don't know why they call us "macaquitos", but what u said may be the reason.
Yes, Germany for the win.
