I would Argue Argentina has 11 as Di Stefano is much more Argentine than Spanish. Also Sivori.

Isn’t Imbabura coached by that young guy that is like 27 years old or something?

Look, Messi should absolutely not win this award since he barely played any MLS matches.

But this sub is quickly turning into the equivalent of Instagram comments based on some of the comments I’m seeing.

Yeah, definitely the wrong statement.

But still, I don’t think taking children’s cough syrup in the middle of the night for a sore throat is worthy of tarnishing a World Cup lol.

This is an Instagram reel comment lol. I swear, it’s always a victim complex with y’all. Oh no, the upvote ratio! Who the fuck cares? Why the fuck do you care?

Also, is it that hard for you to accept that Messi has a very genuine case for being the greatest player of all time? Like, I would love to hear your case for why that’s an incorrect take.

I don’t think Tevez’s offside goal was really that impactful. Argentina won 3–1 and likely wins that match without the offside goal.

Plus Argentina got destroyed 4-0 in the next round to Germany, and no way Mexico was beating that Germany squad (the article mentions this).

It’s a competitive league where anyone can do well and anyone can struggle. How things should be?

I think that’s the beauty of it though. A World Cup campaign truly is a 4 year run/cycle here in South America.

It’s all so disgraceful. It was already essentially a lock, but this just confirms it a bit more. Indonesia isn’t in a position to host, but that’s not the point.

I don’t get how FIFA is going to allow this bid. FIFA had this rule to be able to host a bid: “hosts are required to have at least fourteen all-seater stadiums with a capacity of 40,000, with a minimum of seven being pre-existing.”

Saudi Arabia has 2 such pre-existing stadiums. They didn’t meet the requirement (the South American bid did). But of course FIFA suddenly decided to relax that rule for Saudi.

Imo, it would’ve been much more ethical for the South American countries to renovate a few existing stadiums that will continue to be used after the World Cup rather than allow/encourage Saudi to spend billions to build 10+ brand fucking new stadiums that will mostly sit empty after the cup.

Fuck FIFA and Saudi (and CONMEBOL for being fine with this shit).

Honestly, I would’ve been fine with 5 direct and 1 (or 2) playoff spots.

As for your second point, most of South America wants nothing to do with concacaf (me included). It would provide nothing to our region except for more money to the executives. It sure would help the top concacaf teams though.
