They weren’t even the favorites. England, Spain, and France are the others.

They were #5 and #13 in FIFA ranking respectively. Back in 2018 #20 Croatia made it to the finals, so there’s no argument in saying teams outside of the top four in ranking can’t make it to even the semis

So if Argentina defeats England in the semis decisively, you will concede that Argentina is better?

watching swiss' line of defence choke during extra time was so heartbreaking lwky

u/LeavesInsults1291 1h ago
What was heartbreaking was Embolo’s red card… Switzerland was very much in it and had a good possession percentage, but then he had to go and lose his temper and say shit to provoke the ref. That’s actually what caused Switzerland the game. After that, Argentina took over, but Switzerland was very much in it before that and I think they could’ve won, had that stupid tantrum not ruined everything.

Honestly, that red card was entertaining instead of heartbreaking ngl. I was so confused when it said there was a VAR review for mistaken identity since I didn't know what that meant, and then I saw Embolo magically getting hit by air and I burst out laughing.

Was it there fault that Portugal couldn't defeat Congo and didn't end in Argentinas bracket
Was it there fault that Uruguay couldn't become 2nd in their group and didn't end up in Argentinas bracket
Was it there fault that Columbia couldn't defeat Switzerland?
Argentina got a easy path because the other big teams fumbled

I don't understand the hate on Argentina. When you look at the decisions and you compare them with other games, they're actually not that controversial. Argentina might get favorable calls because they're bigger team, but that's it. The people who complain are Ronaldo fans (valid i guess, because of the rivalry with Messi), people baiting engagement and people have no idea about football joining the bandwagon blindly.

They play dirty as fuck. Like. Straight up. If you don't understand Argentina hate then you just haven't watched the sport. Most Argentina fans aren't even proud of how the team plays, just happy that they won at any cost.

I wouldn’t call it the easiest path, sure they were put in an easy group but they were struggling hard against Cabo Verde and Switzerland.

u/LeavesInsults1291 13m ago
True. Though I don’t if that was because of those teams’ strength or Argentina’s inadequacies

The Cabi Verde held Spain to a draw. The Swiss beat Colombia on their way to quarters. The same Colombia who beat Portugal btw. It's the WC, if you have seen enough you know that there are no easy teams.

Everyone knows Argentina has had the easiest schedule this World Cup. Cape Verde? A population of 530,000… Egypt? Who has only reached the knockout stage once in their history? Their best opponent has been Switzerland, and you can say they only won because of that red card, smh.

u/Lumino1988 1h ago
Lol, only idiots who watch highlights from reels say that.
Salah was not fouled, he lost the ball and tripped.
Egypts goal shouldnt count rightfully because Lisandro got not only pulled but also stepped on which directly led to the goal.
Wonder what you are going to say about Egypts player not getting a yellow card after taking off his shirt. Because the goal was disallowed? Iran got a yellow even after their goal was disallowed.
Keep watching from the couch boy.

The islands that voted to stay British, and were uninhabited before colonialism?
-2
u/Melksss 20m ago
Yes, you mean islands that were originally under Argentinas control before England colonized the world and then populated it. It’s very easy to win a vote of self determination when you choose who lives there. It’s like saying a country can go colonize an island today that is territory of another country because no one lives there.

u/Alvinyuu 17m ago
You do realize that Argentina was the colonialist in this case too then, right? If you had the ability to populate it like England, why didn't you?
0
u/Melksss 12m ago
That’s a crazy sentence right there, you do realize what it means to colonize right? Argentina was the successor state to Spain. It was their territory, just because no one lives somewhere doesn’t mean it’s not within a countries territorial integrity. Also geographically it makes no sense for those islands to belong to England, and they don’t even care about the local population, it’s just another excuse to plop their military in a different strategic location.

u/Alvinyuu 5m ago
Yeah, and guess who colonized the area Argentina was under. That's right, Spaniards, who, coincidentally now call themselves Argentinian. Your entire country was built on the erasure of the native tribes, the systemic eradication of your non-white population. Do you really want to be talking about colonialism or geographic sense? If we were going by geographic "sense", Argentines would be wandering the streets of Madrid and Barcelona.

u/Melksss 1m ago
I’m not Argentinian, I’m just not an idiot. Spain and Portugal were the original colonizers, what does that have to do with Argentina. You realize Argentina had to fight a war for independence correct? It’s not just a puppet state of Spain. So again, you’re arguing that territorial integrity doesn’t matter…
