Dont jinx it this early and take another L lol.
Though it's hard to see Argentina bottling it if Messi keeps playing like he's possessed by the Ghost of Maradona.
in 2014, germany were pretty shite up until the br7s1L game, portugal won the 2016 euro despite not playing 1 minute of watchable footy throughout the tournament, italy had some so-so games back in 2006 etc

they barely managed to beat algeria (2-1 extra time) and france (1-0). back in the group stages they were extremely lucky to get a 2-2 draw against ghana (and a smashing 1-0 victory against the true football giants - the USA). in all those games the german NT were mediocrity personified.

All of those teams were playing great. If you watched the games it wasn't the German's playing abnormally bad, just other teams playing out their minds.
Brazil on the other hand looked like shit, extremely fluky before the Germany game. I legit made money betting Germany beating them 3-0 before the game started, that's how confident I was Brazil was about to get wrecked. Obv 7-1 was beyond imagineable.

I remember that Algeria game they really troubled the germans in 2014. I think the crack began to occur in 2014 but if you go back in time no one will foreshadow utter collapse german team will face for next two wc.
Algeria and morocco being proximity to Europe and most of the players are immigrant born not really surprised they have grown stronger in a decade.
