Argentina are officially the first nation in World Cup HISTORY to reach the semi-finals without facing a single Top 10 ranked team.

Must be a coincidence… of course.

You are correct. Looks like OP copied some twitter post.

Germany in 2002 faced
>Saudi Arabia (34th)
>Ireland (15th)
>Cameroon (17th)
>Paraguay (18th)
>USA (13th)
>South Korea (40th)
And then in Final
>Brazil (2nd)

Obviously the rankings are from May, 2002. Just before the World Cup.

It’s worse. They’ve reached the Semis without facing a single top 18 team. Everyone else in the QFs had faced at least 1, with most facing two or three.

Wasn’t Switzerland missing their top scorer too?

I mean, yes. Uruguay and Portugal chocked. So did Colombia. FIFA literally set it up so yesterday's game was Ronaldo vs Messi but we got Switzerland instead.
