    Too early, IMO...

    Uruguay won, Peru was the better team and missed everything, Argentina was and still choked the win away, tbh...

    Let's see after the 1st round...

    tbh I just discuss about football quality in general. Argentina choked vs Icyland (trash) not vs a weak Italy/Netherlands. Peru was the better team yet lost against an absolute no name Denmark. Urugay beat Egypt so that doesn't say much in my book. I'm saying that barely qualifying 2nd/3rd tiers from Europe are holding their own against the best from other continents (sans Brasil). You'd think Bosnia / Austria / Netherlands / Italy / Turkey / Slovakia / Ukraine / Slovenia / Bulgaria / Romania / Greece / Norway / etc would do the same, since they're either right there tbh with Denmark/Croatia or much better. My point is that the rest of the world plays either tactically antiquated systems or lacks personal discipline even with euro coaches. There are exceptions (Brasil, Uruguay) but they are rare and tbh I'm actually seeing Europe pulling away instead of the other way around (As we'd all expected 10-15 years ago)

    I actually like the 48 cup for this reason, seeing more world vs world. Tbh I think we should let all decent teams play, one more game hurts nobody imo.

    What I'm saying is that it's just one game. There was no 7-1 or like that. Argentina almost ties with Iran in the 1st round last WC, and ended up in the Final, after eliminating the Belgium and Netherlands cinderellas, tbh...

    I completely agree that teams like lolItaly or even Chile should make it over Morocco or Egypt, tbh... but you don't need 48 teams for that...

    for me 1-1 with icyland is 7-1 territory tbh.
    We'll see tbh, I think these non-euro teams will pick up the slack : Brasil, Mexico, Panama, Senegal. Colombia is a pussy team and will fail per par. We'll see what Brasil is made of in the round of 16. Panama will play thug ball and England/Belgium are soft so that's a shot htere. Senegal are actually decent tbh, and in an open group. Mexico is always an uncomfortable team, without expectations they're as nasty as it gets as a group team.

    what a reactionary stupid take. 1-1 with iceland is exactly what your european champion alpha did last year. funniest of all is when that happened, butthurt ronaldo made fun of the iceland players for celebrating the tie, said it just showed how small time they were- and here he was celebrating a tie with spain.

    one game doesnt say much of anything really, if anything this game was encouraging for argentina considering how bad they were playing before, most of the young guys played well. If pavon got the penalty that ronaldo got the day before, law of averages says that one goes in. messi had a bad day but happens. I suppose you thought spain was done in 2010 after losing to swiss in their first game? Both Peru and Argentina should have won today if not for bad finishing, man of the match in both games goes to the euro goalies.

    son that portugal squad was ing trash compared to this argentina.
    I never thought spain was done lol in '10
    Both peru and argentina showed one thing today that both portgual'16 and spain'10 didn't: antiquated tactics and a lack of discipline, which can consistently make even the best of rosters look poor.
    While the other results were statistical anomalies argentina has been playing like since '16, with no signs of improvement. Also messi has been playing mediocre football for NT. So not that reactionary tbh.

    well, penaldo does better against stronger compe ion, with a weaker and less talented squad, so it's only fair to point that out tbh.

    sons... all of these games will be closer than expected. all teams are tough or somewhat tough... those that have inferior talent will park the bus and complicate things and try to beat you on a counter attack after you put all the effort. Other teams will play thugball and break you apart. Refs are calling this world cup with silk.

    Again, this world cup is the inflection point between easy bets and the present and future or football. I don't think there aren't any cinderellas anymore. I get it about the Saudis perhaps the worst defending team of the pack.

    Swiss individual technical ability is top notch.
    They also hacked Neymar crybaby the entire game. Ref needed to give some early yellows.
