@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper One of easiest groups, cabo verde, egypt, switzerland and theyre in semis. Its just one of easiest paths you can imagine. Higher ranked teams underperforming doesnt change the fact that argentina played really bad teams and still they struggled to beat them
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper I never said argentina > portugal, I just said that these teams are very similar level and its just lucky draw for argentina and unlucky draw for portugal. I can easily imagine portugal reaching finals having argentina group meanwhile argentina might also not beat columbia
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper Why is ur argument "why portugal didnt top their group" valid if they had a team in their group same level as the teams that argentina struggled so much against in playoffs and barely won against them in 120min?
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper Yet they did very well against them. So its not fair to say that argentina was much better just because of the draw. And as I said before, argentina had much easier group, they also drew to cabo verde and switzerlands which are same level as columbia so why
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper I never said portugal would beat argentina, I am just saying that they are very close level and their matchup would be very close and argentina had very easy path to the finals yet they struggled a lot, meanwhile portugal met the best team in wc in r16
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper Spain also had decent chances in previous matches, in which they also had better stats. It looked pretty much same as the match against argentina, it was just them playing well for the whole tournament, also france was in hot form only vs teams with bad midfield, spain just
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper The hole in ur argument is that columbia is already a decent team similar level as argentina and portugal. Argentina had literally 0 competition in their group. Also Spain was maybe not dominating in the way of scoring goals, but their defense and midfield always dominated.
@1NessApologist@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper What does that mean? It was pretty obvious spain got the strong midfield and they are the most organised team in wc. As we saw from euros before. They were sligh outsiders vs france because of france attack. But people didnt realize if spain midfield doesnt let them attack, they
@FilthyThom81969@crtfydyapper Spain was the best team in the tournament and portugal faced them and did better against them than messi did in finals, meanwhile argentina were struggling against egypt, cabo verde and switzerland.. idk bro
@MLSMoves What a delulu pessi fan him scoring against algeria cabo verde and in MLS in good but others scoring vs actual good teams nonononoonon you should stop being so brainless fanboy🤣
