The Argentina national team is a good team, I'm not saying that it is bad, but when I look at its composition, I don't see anything even close to the Brazilian national team or France or even England. A few old stars of which only a name remains, but their real strength is questionable + a couple of new stars who have yet to reveal themselves, the rest of the players are questionable in general. On paper, Argentina is clearly weaker than the whole group of teams, so I consider it overrated.
As for the assessments not on paper but in practice, it is difficult for me to judge, since Argentina does not often play with serious opponents. Yes, their victory over Italy was good (although it was another dubious match from FIFA), but I don't know if it can play several good games in a row at the World Cup.
Well... let's say that we both have clearly different metrics to use when comparing teams. Among the "old stars", one is a legend and the others such as Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi are in great form. Among the younger generation, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez are winning matches on their own for the team. Anyone who has watched the 2021 Copa America tournament would disagree that they are weaker than Brazil, or for that matter France or England (BTW, they defeated Brazil in the final of Copa).
I don't know if you remember it from some World Cups in the past, but Brazil always starts very weakly in a jundial, sometimes even draws and their position is in great danger, but if they manage to get to the round of 16, as they always do, they change, it's as if they had another team, they begin to do everything very well and almost perfectly, the only thing that disappointed me was when they played against France in the World Cup in France 98, when that final against a FRANCE that was captained by a Zinedine Zidane who gave great class playing and who made the Brazilians look like they were children of the French, it is the only time I have seen the Brazilians badly, but now as you say, with respect to Argentina, for me the best team is Brazil.
I always prefer luck over effort. Because sometimes a good team loses after playing well enough. Anyway, this year's World Cup is expected to be very grand. All teams will try their best. I am expecting good things from Argentina this time. I think luck will help this time. But I wish all the teams the best.
I agree that luck is important in sports, but you can't always count on luck in every match.
In order for a national team to become world champion, it must win 4 consecutive games in the knockout phase of the competition.
In a match or two, luck can help, but in 4 consecutive matches? This is not possible and in the end the world champion always becomes the representation that was the best during the tournament, without major drops in the level of play.
If Argentina wants to be world champions, they must not rely only on luck or Messi, but show quality in the game.
You are right. I agree with you.
instead of relying on luck or Messi, argentina will not be able to achieve the title. if that's the way.
So colors in football can come from anywhere, luck in football is the naturalness of a 2x45 minute logic including added time until the final whistle of the game sounds.
Luck in soccer is often a determinant, but basically how luck comes can't be known or there is no formula that determines luck appears.
instead of relying on luck, every team that will compete later in the Qatar world cup, requires mental readiness, strategy, teamwork, to get every win. so luck is another matter, after every team prepares everything.
As for Argentina, all the players in their team are more confident than their team is strong. In fact, confidence is much needed in the game. But I want to give priority to luck too, sometimes a good game loses. Even if you play badly, you can't blame the bad teams who suddenly get a goal at the last minute. Luck is involved with every team's skill.
Yes, I know what you're talking about when you say the luck factor, it's something very important, sometimes I've even heard many people say "champion luck" and it's usually very often when it comes to Brazil, Argentina, it's worth noting that a A team like Argentina usually has a very good strategy and its players are mostly very talented, so all this quality makes them make their own luck due to their work, it is for this reason that sometimes we see that Argentina is playing with another team and that team usually hits the goalkeeper's crossbar without scoring, or the other team kicks and the ball goes elsewhere, I think that's what they are told, and obviously Argentina has that.
