They have regional rivalry so I can totally understand why Brazilian don't support Argentina. I don't see Argentina supporting Brazil as well.
If some people from Brazil do support Argentina then it's due to Messi.
And, it's fine and it lies within reasonable grounds.
These two aren't the...
They can't. Only Mbappe has a realistic chance.
Also I expect England to play aggressive tonight to compensate for all the "too defensive and passive" criticism
Blackbeard *cough* Mbappe is the next goat.
Last two WC was rigged against him. Shanks and Luffy did him dirty. If it wasn't for my bald sensei aka Oda, he would have won.
He's the best.
He will win next WC undefeated. :zehaha:
Yeah but first substitution came at 71st mins.
Before that Kane and every England player went into defensive mode on their own while instructions were to push forward.
Players messed up. Tuchel with subs later on made it worse
There's immense respect and softness between these two teams.
It seems Fuente and Scaloni are friends lol
Both Scaloni and Messi have deep Spanish ties
Entire Spain team was glazing Messi in their interviews
Messi said he's aware of Barcelona young talents as he watches their game.
Stats wise and odds wise, Argentina has no chance of beating Spain in the finals.
That's how good Spain has been. Their stats are off the roof.
However, Argentina has two X Factors which can't be measured - Messi's influence + mentality which goes beyond any team we have seen.
For Argentina...
Spain has tied with Italy with longest unbeaten streak of 37 matches.
Argentina has been most successfull footballing nation in past 8 years.
Though the averages possesion of both teams are close, Spain is collectively better than Argentina in most stats so far with exception of the goals...
Messi onfield average activity percentage over the tournament
Walk - 63% of the match
Stand still or moved little - 22% of the match duration
Get serious - 15% of the match duration
And, in just 15% of that duration he's top of all the stats lmao
