For the first time in history, a National Team reaches the World Cup semifinals without having faced any FIFA TOP 10 team or any world champion.
>>156685915What are the odds?
That's straight up fake newsGermany 2002 comes to mind, I'm sure there are many more
>>156685915>they struggled against the last 3 shitters and needed obvious ref help to win.
>>156686014not only fake news but it's the least futbol-adjacent argument the schizos havei'd have preferred to face mexico and morocco (to name a random two) instead of egypt and cabo verde after watching all four of them play
that only tells me how useless FIFA rankings are
>>156685915kek
kek
>>156685915Stop noticing just stop
>>156685915Which "Fifa Top 10" team have England faced?
>>156685915wtf man
>>156685915Even if we make the fairest match in history, with no fouls and nothing in our favour, you bunch of crying faggots will find a way to say it's rigged, there's no way to make you happy.
>>156688797There’s always one know it all cunt
>>156685915Frances opponents weren't any better. They just faced Morocco who is so high on the Coca Cola ranking because they are playing against african shitters. Switzerland is not worse than Morocco if you look at it objectively.
>>156688831So the opposite of what is happening basically
>>156688797>ranked 55th>trying to talk shitMaybe if you pulled your cock out your sheep and played some ball you might actually qualify one day
oh yes,england faced world juggernauts mexico and norway KEK
>>156689134Even France's only knockout match was against 7 starters injured Morocco. Only team who faced real competition is Spain
>>156685915easy path for the VARgensimio
>>156685915If only CRonz could beat congolombia....
>>156688864>Coca ColaMorocco is 6th in FIFA ranking because they raked up points, points that your own country, 12th, keep losing. You earn these points by winning game against stronger opponents, much like ELO. You also lose points when you get knocked out of a competition, just like you against Paraguay where many points were lost. Morocco ended last world cup at the 3rd place, they won or at least are finalists (depending on the judgement) of the CAN which arent african shitters, the U20 team is currently world champions too. Switzerland is an equal level of Morocco also similar to yours (14th) but both of you arent winning any trophies...Switzerland has climbed up at least compared to Germany.
This is incredible luck
seeding done right for once
Germany 2002Italy 2006
>>156688864Lol they played the most washed version of Argentina and ended up with the same score differential as us who played against the best attacking side of world cup history with 7 starters injured and out.
>>156689537Switzerland would win the Africa Cup too. So it's not really a big accomplishment what Morocco did.
>>156689679Switzerland would lose to fucking Ivory coast
>>156689659You lost. Live with it and stop crying.
>Swissfag seethingYour country bored everyone the entire time you were in the competition. You will never be a top side. Literally Ireland tier.
>>156689699>you lostAnd i deserved it. I'm not the one having a hard time dealing with some truths
>>156689733I was just saying that Frances path wasn't really that much harder than Argentinas.
>>156689767Argentina struggled for their life against Cabo Verde and Egypt (two other teams that would beat Switzerland) >>156689767
>>156686014>The USMNT was ranked 13th in the FIFA Men's World Ranking going into the 2002 FIFA World Cup in June 2002but Germany faced USA in 2002 quarterfinals you retarded sack of shit
>>156689800Ok at this point you are just seething.
They played shit teams and got all the calls their way. If they don't win this tournament that's embarrassing.
>>156686014USA was 11th before the 2002 world cupThey were 10th after the World CupSince Germany was the last team they played in that World Cup we can assume that at the moment Germany played USA, USA was de facto a top 10 Nation
>>156689812Lmao at the projecting germ. If anything I'm comfortably and successfully baiting you
>>156689831>de facto
>>156689679>>156689767France's path was yours too in case you have forgotten, we basically endured the same as what should be yours and you didnt made it through so that should tell you a lot I also agreed with you earlier, Switzerland/Morocco/Germany all considered pretenders, but not contenders
>>156689852you can ask grok brainlet
>>156685915Uruguay, Portugal and Spain each rigged the games in their respective groups so that they would not face Argentina as part of the grand conspiracy. Basically the outcome of 12 games had to be rigged so that we got Cabo Verde.
>>156689612germany faced usa (10th) in 2002italy faced czech republic (2nd) in 2006>b-but muh ranking is flawedif you win friendlies and qualifiers you go up in the ranking. if you lose you go down.stupid dalit.
>>156685915>He still doesn't understand that route was meant for Portugal but they shat the bed.
>>156685915Blame Dinoguay, Portugal, and Colombia for giving them an easier path.
>>156689904>ask grokInshallah.
>>156689908The only team I can think of that supposedly rigged a game to be facing another team after the qualification was Algeria against Austria, it ended 3-3 suspiciously at the 95' while it was 20 minutes or more of Algeria having the ball possession, ridiculous game that was...more ridiculous is most of Algeria cheered for the 3-3 draw. When you know the lore about World cups you know Algeria, Austria and Germany is a bad threesome and it shouldnt ended this way considering the ball possession and score advantage Algeria had. I dont see any other rigging your mentioning. Portugal affronting Spain is much more tougher than playing Argentina lol.
>>156690112I mostly agree but it's also safe to say that there were also some really bad and inconsistent refereeing decisions, even by world cup standards, which is what throws some people off.
I've not watched any of Argentina's matches this cup except for Switzerland last night and I honestly thought Riggi looked like he hadn't aged a day, still playing at the highest level, looking like a superhuman playing with children
>>156685915Whats the point of these threads if every euro team imports their balrogs from the same place
>>156688982Cock in goat and still qualified.
>>156690189Yeah for sure plenty of bad referee calls throwing people off during the whole tournament but that's out of your power as a team unless you have FIFA powers...how could a >Portuguese team>rigs an Australian referee>during their draw against ColombiaIf rigging is involved it's used for winning not finishing 2nd and facing a 1st in elimination phase isn't a good money investment either
>>156690248>I honestly thought Riggi looked like he hadn't aged a day, still playing at the highest level, looking like a superhumanWhat is wrong with you?Messi has been so washed up for at least 2 years. This world cup has shown it to everyone in the world. He can score against tier 3 teams while doing nothing. That's how shit this world cup has been. 48 teams, 64 teams next time. Even 44 year old Ronaldo will be around next world cup and he will stat pad against Uganda and Gypsy-Herzogovina, please look forward to it
How many suicides in India and Bangladesh if VARgentina loses?
>>156691021Some of his movements were just insane, how quickly he can move and feint and make decisions in such tight spaces, he makes very very few mistakes.
>>156688797Croatia
>>156685949Pretty high when the competition is rigged for you.
>>156686598>i'd have preferred to face mexico and morocco (to name a random two) instead of egypt and cabo verde after watching all four of them playHAHAHAHAHAMorocco would have raped you, and probably Mexico too.Cabo Verde and Egypt only looked good because they played against YOU, and you are really fucking bad.
>>156685915England will demolish them!It's gonna come home!!!
>>156685915Their team is genuinely bad, neutralize Messi and they're outIf that Switzerland ngubu didn't go full retard they could have won
>>156685915Hehe Arjewntina
>>156688831>there's no way to make you happy.All of you dying would make me very happy
It's only the 9th World Cup since the FIFA rankings were created, and they also changed the seeding before the tournament >”To ensure competitive balance, two separate pathways to the semi-finals have been established when developing the match schedule,” FIFA’s statement said.>”In order to have a balanced distribution of the teams, the four highest-ranked teams in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s World Ranking, when drawn, will have the following constraints: the highest-ranked team (Spain) and the second highest-ranked team (Argentina) will be randomly drawn into opposite pathways, and the same principle will apply to the third (France) and fourth (England) highest-ranked teams.So this was really predictable
>>156689831fifa ranking is irrelevant. Low rank teams routinely win against higher ranked ones in wcs. Brazil was top1 in the stupid rank in 2022 and spain in 2014.
>>156685915riggi corruptini
>>156685915PESSI RIGGITINI KEKITINI AKA ISRAEL'S MOST LOYAL SHABBOS GOY
>They had an easy run!>They struggled to beat Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland lolPick one schizos.
>>156692488Why not both? You, for one, are retarded but still able to make a post.
>>156692488They had a easy run but still struggled
>>156691350>Defeating muh nazi GermanyKys filthy boomer, 250k British girls raped because of cowards like you
>>156689908>>156690044NOOOOOOOO ALL THOSE MATCHES WERE RIGGED ACCORDING TO SPEE RETARDS OK?!?!?!?!
>>156691350good goy
>>156685915>67th
>>156685915You have to be in severe denial to claim it's not rigged

>>156691350>At least we aren't speaking german>*gets stabbed to death by a wog*
>>156685949before 1982 it was only 4 groups so it's impossible.1982-1998 world cup it's pretty hard with 6 groups.kinda surprising it hasn't happened in the 7 world cups with 8 groups. 6 top 10 teams shouldn't face another top 10 team in groups assuming they all qualified. and then if you win the group you're unlikely to face a top 10 team in the round of 16 and then you only need 1 upset from your opponent's match to not face any top 10 teams.
Reminder
>>156689134you would have lost to both mexico and norway 1000%

I feel like (((FIFA))) will be giving to Messi another (((Ballon d'Or))) after the World Cup.
>>156685915now show the copa 2024
>>156691308the same could be said about our team bro, the Morocco we faced in the group stage was clearly holding back
>>156694326FIFA =/= ballon d'orEven your country can vote for ballon d'or.>The winner is chosen through a dual system of voting.>Firstly, journalists from France Football and fellow French publication L'Equipe work together to produce a combined list of 30 official nominees, based on players' performances in the previous season. This initial selection process sometimes also includes a small number of former players.>Then, one football journalist from each of the top 100 Fifa-ranked nations is invited to cast votes for their top 10 players in order from that shortlist. The 10 players are awarded 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point based on ranking.>Once all journalists have submitted their top 10s, points are tallied and the winner of the Ballon d'Or is the player who accrued the most points in the voting, while the rest are ranked from second to 30th.>If players are tied on points, they are separated by the number of first place votes they received. If they are still level, the number of second place votes are used, and so on.>Journalists taking part in the vote are encouraged to consider three factors:> Individual performances, decisive and impressive character> Team performances and achievements> Class and fair play
>>156688831>Ronaldo's pakis will cry against MessiOk
>>156693396That list, along with him being an ugly faggy flopping midget, just makes him the perfect GOAT for a "sport" as corrupt as soccer.
>>156691350churchill ran the british empire to the ground
>>156689908tu eres tonto
>>156693396The last one is funny, are we really supposed to pretend Messi is the only player ever to do treatment to improve their body? And if this hormone one is sooooo game changer how comes it isn't as popular?
>>156685915For everyone's saying this is rigged, are they implying FIFA's rigging it so arg vs french fries again or rigging it so france wins the final?
>>156698696>if this hormone one is sooooo game changer how comes it isn't as popular?Because you can't go around injecting people's kids with growth hormones when they're 11. But Uefalona did.
