    That’s pathetic. But alright, stay in your bubble.

    Scoring with the hand? It’s fine because England whooped your asses in the Falklands war. Political interference to win a match in your own country? Fine too, Videla seeing the Peruvian team before the match, and granting Peru thousands of tons in international aid a week later, is not basis for any sort of misconduct. Drugging rivals? That’s OK even when Maradona joked about it on live TV in the early 2000s.

    If we’re playing that game, when Spain won in 2010, they scored 8 goals. That’s the fewest ever for a champion. On the other hand, Argentina scored 15 in 2022 (2nd highest in world cup history).

    Winning is about scoring one more goal than your opponent. Nobody cares when a team scores two if the opponent scored three.

    Maybe you’re playing a different game?

    What a stupid thing to say xD that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to do.

    It definitely does. Copa America is easier to win than the Euros, even more so if we take into consideration that South America hasn’t had four teams in the top 20 FIFA rankings in maybe thirty years now.

    What I’m saying here is that, for all your claims that Spain is a newcomer with no actual tradition winning championships, then I’d argue that Argentina is a has-been that has recently been enjoying an exceptionally lenient treatment by FIFA, and an abnormal cycle of low competitiveness by other South American teams.

    Do Uruguayans go around saying “cuantas copas tenés” too? No, maybe because they understand the concept of time.

    Saying that messi is the “only” good player is being either blind or just ignorant.

    Your next best player IMO (Fernández) is an idiot and I don’t see how his antics are helping his case at all. Alvarez is nowhere close. And then you have like three other players who will be under 30 for the next World Cup, and, to be honest, other than Nico Paz the rest are kind of shit, with Simeone probably being the worst case of nepotism ever seen in the history of World Cups.

    Then, the whole Argentinian defence will retire in the next four years, but, honestly, that may even be a good thing.

    Anyway, enjoy your country’s past accolades.

      First, Spain (and I’m not reading this ridiculous wall of text).

      Second, Argentina.

      Third, England.

      Fourth, France.

      Fifth, my country’s “past accolade” was 2 years ago. Which is the least amount of time possible after losing the world cup.

        A bit disrespectful since I did read what you wrote, but alright, suit yourself.
