@_xnes So he predicted the top 4 ranked teams to be the top 4 at the World Cup and the pre-tournament favourites to win. Anything can happen in sport but it’s not an insane prediction I’d say (no hate)
@dre_pluto@mikey_esquire Both countries forced conscription of blacks in wars in attempt to whiten the population. The major difference is Argentina never had as many blacks slaves as Brazil did. Other South American countries such as Chile,Paraguay and Ecuador also have <5% black populations
@mikey_esquire Just for the record Brazil tried the same process as Argentina, black population survived despite it (largely because Brazil always had more blacks than Argentina) not because Brazil were any better
@AtKrisNeil I’m sure had she just stated that she experienced racism frequently many people would just generalize it to the entire country but somehow she’s not allowed to speak on her own experience because it’s the opposite of the narrative
@AtKrisNeil I can’t understand this opinion. Her experience doesn’t mean that there is no racism in Argentina it just shows that you cannot individualize the 8th largest country in the world as being “racist” as there would obviously be a variety of different experiences there
@MaybeImABot@real_fanJunior Of course England can still win but any watcher of concacaf/conmebol can tell you altitude can lead to some really weird results
@MaybeImABot@real_fanJunior I’m not even Mexican, I’m just a concacaf fan and I’m not denying England are better on quality but even Tuchel admitted being acclimatized to the altitude is a big factor. Also 6 players out of 11 who play at altitude week in week out is more than zero
@MaybeImABot@real_fanJunior Even if that was the case (which it is not) they have had the necessary acclimatization time being that they’ve played all their games at altitude
@shrimpdon_ International Football ain’t about who plays for the top teams lmao, you gotta win on the pitch. Plus for all the world beaters Ecuador have none of them are difference makers
