Thank you, I hate when things are phrased around single players.

@@greatcesari well that’s because they’re more of the mascot of the team when someone mentions Neymar or Messi stopping other teams like the question here it’s more of their team then them single handedly doing it

@@greatcesari me too. especially when we talk about the elite teams of international football. i mean, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, italy, spain, portugal, france, holland, and england, were always up there and-probably- will be. even when they have a poor generation (talent-wise) with no big stars, they are still considered some of the strongest squads. Especially Brazil and argentina, were football giants before messi or neymar were born.players like them are super additions, but never indispensable 😉

@@thanospallidis5122 I get your point but that's not a good way of arguing it. Before Messi or Neymar were born, Argentina had Diego Maradona and Brazil had Pelé.

@@andrewface2355 While that might be true for Argentina( although They were a strong team after Maradona and before messi too ), Pele retired at 70s endind, and still brazil won the world cup twice and with other S-tier generations in between him and Neymar. Generally, all the 9 teams i think they belong in the Elite, they just don't have 1 golden generation every once in a while( Like Belgium) or 1-2 superstars among decent players to make a difference( Like Poland, Egypt, Ivory coast in the past, etc). The elite almost always produces world class players. Even a poor generation for their standards, it's still considered a strong team on paper. Messi, Christiano ronaldo, or Neymar look like a natural outcome to be 'products' of these countries to me.

Actually it was 16 years, but imagine Europe dominating the World Cup for 16 years (4 World Cups) and South America is still dominating Europe in the Head-to-Head World Cup Matches & Finals record, South America has been always like we say in South America: South America is Europe's dad lol.

Correct. Europeans are way more eager to beat other Europeans, and if their country is out, they as often end up cheering for a South American team as for an other European. no real rivalry

@@tomfuzer9885 it exists on paper if you compare stats but it doesnt in reality

Hello amigo i want to share my opinion i feel that in south América we want to beat you because of your long years dominance and because we feel that we love fútbol more to be honest and we desire to prove it , its the only thing that many kids have to dream here it mean so much to us that we think we deserved it idk if we hate europe (well in argentina we do hate germany and england) , by the way i dare to say that Italy its our favorite european team atleast in argentina

Me neither where I live its mostly Germany and Belgium if we were to ever play them. Then probably Argentina in all fairness. Personally I don't really care to much anyways, they played better and won, it's most important that it's enjoyable to watch.

This is so funny to me that all the Europeans are like “I have nothing against South America and I root for them sometimes!” And the Latinos are like “I would rather eat DIRT than watch a European win”. I’m Latin American and can confirm the rivalry but the knowledge that it’s one sided is just. So funny.

Not super hyped? Imagine being favorites and not hyped

@@andersonkennedy8896 save zone? Brazil is literally the biggest favorite for this cup by everyone in the world including brazilians, i wodnt say that is a save zone.

@@martimrodrigues2391 everyone says we are the favorites every single time it only puts pressure on the team

Huh Brazil are the literarily the favourites to win the whole thing by quite a margin even I think there gonna win that squad is so good. Brazil are superhyped but I think it's justifiable

Germany was favorite in 2018 and Spain in 2014, so it really doesn't mean anything TBH. I feel like Brazil is really good but a little overhyped. I think European teams are still better.

12 vs 12 FIFA officially recognized that Uruguay has won 2 more World Cups in their FIFA Museum in Zurich and Qatar. Google it.

​@@DJANGO_GOAT 😂😂😂 you are stupid

@@DJANGO_GOAT 12-10. Uruguays win was in the Olympic not World Cup. Even if fifa “recognizes” their win, it’s way too late to include it as a World Cup. Uruguay didn’t even get their 4 stars on their jersey until like 55years later showing that they aren’t a true 4 star team. FIFA just respects that uruguay won a tournament that they were involved in but it’s not officially a World Cup tournament. Complain all you want but if it’s not won on a World Cup stage then it ain’t World Cup. It was an Olympic tournament.

@@mvk-delta5423 lmao "complain all you want" lmao 🤣 haha I'm exactly telling that to you, you can go complain to FIFA at its headquarters about it, it's not out fault the FIFA acknowledges that Uruguay has won 4 World Cups. A World Tournament, World Championship, is still the same name as a World Cup, both continents are tied 12-12 in World TITLES, World Cups, World Tournaments, World Championships, you can go cry and yell to the sky and nothing will change :) and besides! Besides! South America DOMINATES Europe in the World Cup Head-to-Head Matches and World Cup Head-to-Head Finals: Matches played: 238 South America wins: 102 Europe wins: 93 🤣 (we own you) Draws: 43 Wait! There's more! South America vs Europe in World Cup Finals: South America: 8 Finals won Europe: 3 Finals won ☠️💀 😂🤏🏻 We still own you and cook you! WAIT! WAIT! There's more about it!: ¿Are you counting these World Cups won by Europe? 👇🏻 World Cup 1934 European teams: 11 SA teams: 2 😂 World Cup 1938 European teams: 12 SA teams: 1 😂 Wait... Let's google those "World Cups": Uh..oh... Wild articles appear😯 : "A World Cup marred by FASCISM, Italy 1934" (title along with a picture of Hitler with Mussolini) ☠️ 💀 "Fascism and Football: How Italy Won The 1934 And 1938 World Cups" (with Mussolini's photo) ☠️ 💀 "The 1966 and 1974 World Cups were Fixed" - Former FIFA President Joao Havelange Oh boy... Europe has 4 won Corrupt World Cups on their record, we have to admit the same applies for South America, there's an article saying the World Cup 1978 was a suspicious win for Argentina, so, Europe fixed World Cups: 4 - South America fixed World Cups: 1. Now, I don't think you're counting those World Cups, right? Lmao Europe 12 World Cups? Not in my books. Europe: 8 (without 4 corrupt WC) SA: 11 (without 1 corrupt WC) And if you wanna remove the 2 World Cups of Uruguay is still South America with 9 World Cups ahead of Europe which has 8, but that's without counting corrupt world cups, so actually it doesn't matter, so South America clearly DOMINATES Europe in football, their own sport, the sport they think "they are the best" and no, it is the other way South America is the best in this sport. Oh, and I forgot, these other stats: World Cup berths (total WC participations) Europe: 258 SA: 89 With almost 3 times less participation, South America COOKS Europe in all those stats, and everything you have just read are FACTS, not opinions ;) you can cry, laugh, scream, yell, and nothing will change it my friend, we own you in a very hard way.

@@DJANGO_GOAT like I said FIFA’s official website has South America labelled as 10 world cups not 12. FIFA achowledges uruguays wins pre 1930 but they aren’t in the World Cup. Their wasn’t even group stage in the Olympics, World Cup is played under different rules & on a bigger stage. And you’re such a nerd with those South America vs Europe stats lmfao. Only reason SA has most finals won against Europeans in final is because you only have 2 good teams in South America who make it to the final while Europe has like 10. When it’s your best 2 in the final every time vs sometimes Europes underdog ofcourse you’re gonna get the results you want. You must also argue with people a lot about SA having 12 world cups bevause the world knows they have 10 world cups it’s well established globally you’re the only nerd who goes around counting wins from the 1920s as World Cup wins when it didn’t even exist 🤣🤣🤣

Uruguay too

@@prakharsethi3979 No, Uruguay hadn't really a chance of winning it after 1950. Of course, I think, Uruguay reached since then three times the semi-finals, but it never looked strong enough to go all the way. Colombia with Pablo Escobar alive in 1994 or Falcao not injured in 2014 would had had higher chances to win it.:)

@@juliocervantes546 but the fact that Uruguay has won 2 world cup contribute in number count of South America total world cup

@@prakharsethi3979 It does. But, since 1978 / 1982 I watched all the World Cups, and each time Brazil and Argentina had been two of the top favorites of winning it. The other favorites, serious contenders, came all, almost exclusively from Europe. And that's why I'm saying Brazil and Argentina from Conmebol against the rest of the world. Or did you really see Uruguay once winning it in the last 50 years? Do you expect it do so soon? In the next 20 years? I cannot see it.

Sorry,but Uruguay put South America in the map first. They won two Olympic gold medals in the 1920's and later conquered two World Cups before Pelé. Argentina was 2nd place in 1930 ,Brazil 3rd in 1938 and 2nd in 1950. South America was always strong in world football/soccer.

To scoring 700 plus goals with out being a cherry picker and having more assists than modric and kroos and casemiro combined. There wasn't bragging or overconfidence.

Exactly. Money has destroyed not just South American Football, but African Football and even Eastern European Football. Look at how Eastern Europe has been completely hollowed out by Western Europe. At a young age, the best talent have been swept up by the richest teams in Europe and they stay there for their whole career, only ever representing their country for a few weeks every four years. That is no way to build a World Cup winning team. One might even argue the World Cup has lost its meaning as the best teams in the world are private clubs rather than nations. But that's where post-Cold-War capitalism has gotten us. The Cold War generations who witnessed Pele's Brazil will not recognise the world we now live in.

There is a reason they have this division of qualification spots. If you just take the best 32 countries in the world (FIFA Ranking) there are 6 countries from South America, 16 from Europe, 3 from North America, 4 from Africa and 3 from Asia. So Europe and South America should have even more spots. Europe just has a lot of countries that are good in football.
