    How could they be accused of anything if they were footballistically born in 2010? XD their accomplishments can’t be denied though. They’re a very good team and I never said otherwise.

    The 1978 match fixing is a popular accusation. Alas, an accusation with no proof. You’re free to believe it’s true, if that makes you feel better. Even though la mano de dios in 1986 happened, it happened to a country that had very recently commited war crimes and invaded argentinian soil. Sorry for celebrating it. Maybe spain sympathizes with other colonizers, I don’t. 1990 is also a popular story with no actual proof. Keep accusing of random stuff if you want, it’s pretty amusing.

    Argentina won a World Cup in 2024 with a loss and two draws, probably the worst results of a champion in the modern era.

    Is it? I thought winning the cup was the best possible result.

    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).

    They won two copa America during a time when the whole continent hadn’t won’t a single World Cup in 20 years.

    What a stupid thing to say xD that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to do. Also, 20 years is 5 world cups. Do you really think that’s a meaningful metric? It’s also wrong. When Argentina won the cup in 2024, there was a country in the continent that had won the world cup. I think you can guess who.

    The only good player they have will retire this coming year

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

    I’m sure as fuck they won’t win another World Cup until 2050.

    Here’s to hoping you’re wrong 🤞
