U are saying total trash... so because Argentina defeated an Italian side that could not even qualify for the WC , now means copa is better than Euros ...
And we all know that the world cup is Europe vs South America, the rest only allowed due tk inclusion... no team outside Europe or south America have ever played in the final... infact only USA ( in the second edition 1934) South Korea in 2002 as hosts and Morocco in the last world cup( maybe due to the Arab factor) are the only 3 countries apart from south America and Europe that have ever played in the semis of a WC... infact only Brazil Argentina and Uruguay that isn't Europe have played in the final of a world cup...
Are you talking about Italy?. Euro defending champions, four times WC winners?. And why couldn't they qualify for the WC after winning the almighty EURO?, I thought the WC is easier?. You don't argue intelligently at all, you muffle up everything, leaving so many loopholes. I'm done

Euros is definitely tougher than the world cup. Look at Croatia that played back to back World cup semis cudntveven get out of the group stage ...portugal and England almost got eliminated by slovania and sloviakia respectively....and when Ronaldo scores 3 to 5 goals against those teams , they call them cheap teams ... look at copa , Brazil and Argentina qualified from their respective groups as usual and will definitely go all the way as usual... Mbappe that's on 13 world cup goals in 2 World cups is only on one Euros goal, and its a penalty he scored ....

The world cup, u get to play very cheap teams from central America, Africa, Asia and South America, even Australia.... Argentina Brazil , South Korea, Japan and maybe one African team that's in form ,maybe Uruguay... the rest that appear in the world cup are trash... teams like Panama, Jamaica, Canada, China, Iran, Saudi, Nigeria , South Africa, Cameroon, Australia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Ghana can't even qualify for the Euros if they were in Europe ...

Germany last won the Euros in 96 ( 28 yrs ago) but won the world cup both in 90 and 2014 ... Italy won the last Euros in 2020 but had not won it since the 70s ... they have more World cups than the Euros ... England just appeared in their first ever Euros final in the last Edition in 2020...but have won the world cup ... some even compare the copa with Euros grin grin grin... klose that has the record as highest goal scorer in the WC with 16 goals don't even have upto 5 goals in the Euros.. u just can't trash a team in the Euros easily, like the world cup.... top goal scorer at the Euros presently is from Georgia... can u even see a top scorer from Bolivia in the copa ? ... portugal will play France in the quarters, then face Germany or Spain in the semis of they qualify and then the Dutch or England in the final If it goes according to expectations.... the only team that can stop Brazil in the copa is Argentina and vice versa ... colombia or Uruguay are no different from Croatia and Switzerland in Europe ...

Pls stop comparing copa with Euros ...Euros no be beans ... in the past 40yrs , France have won tge world cup 2 times and the Euros once ... so as Germany and Italy ... Spain is the only team that have won it 2 times in the past 40yrs ... France , Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Italy have all won the WC at least 2 times around same yrs ...


Every world cup year , Brazil and Argentina must appear... Italy that were European champs cudnt even qualify for Qatar..

History was the reason why Italy won the last Euros against all odds ... man united have a chance at winning the EPL than spurs , Barca has the chance at winning the UCL than PSG ... history is the reason Arsenal has aggressively challenged for the EPL in the past 2 seasons despite the disappointments of many years of finishing below top 3 ... Liverpool still won the champions league ahead of Chelsea during Mourinho days and recently ahead of city during guardiola era ... its still history playing its role ...

Lol...dominate which tournament?? If not for the 6 penalties that was awarded to Argentina in 6 out of 7 games ...they would not have had the chance of lifting the WC ... Brazil was knocked out by Croatia, and Belgium in the last 2 WCs ...these are European nations that have never won anything .. forget Uruguay, they can't even defeat any of Spain, Holland, Croatia, Switzerland...talkless of teams like Germany or France.... Argentina will not even get past the quarters at best ... do u think its easy playing at least 4 former recent world cup champions b4 lifting the trophy... in copa , once Brazil is eliminated, then we all know its Argentina cup to loose , vice versa ...

In the last WC ...Argentina only faced 1 former WC champion and one former European Cup champion and those were the 2 teams that forced a penalty shootout despite Argentina leading by 2 goals in both games ... just imagine if Argentina had to play Belgium in R16, and then England in Quaters , and Spain in the semis and Germany for the final... they will not survive it ... that's why the Euros is harder... for Portugal to win the Euros as it is now , they must beat France, Spain or Germany and then England or the Dutch ... all former World champions apart from the Dutch , who are 3 time world cup finalists ...
Stop capping bro. Argentina played your almighty Holland, trashed them, played Netherland n won them if not the refs misyarn, they also trashed your darling strong Croatia and won with ease n won the then champion to lift it even after awarding 2 penalties to a team in a final. Morocco eliminated your strong Portugal, your Belgium and Germany were all eliminated by mediocre teams. Do you think that Argentina couldn't have done what a minor team were able to do?

You will think you are making sensible point to when you are typing this gibberish.
How did Spain win 2010 world cup and how many teams have won world cups beating three world champions?

Spain en route to 2010 world cup beat only Germany as former champion, how does it discredit their achievements?

All you are saying is just rubbish because you foresee football like Mathematics.

Argentina has four goals through penalties not 6. And France scored two in only final? They scored two before final. All you are saying are results of pain you are passing through because Messi not anyone played the penalties.

Both of them participated in the tournament and didn't win it, so what exactly is your argument?. Maradona participated in 1979,1983,1987 and 1989 but didn't win it. He didn't participate in 1991 and 1993. Pele participated in 1959 and got to the final but lost. So, why are you arguing blindly?. Does that mean Copa is tougher to win than WC?

How am I arguing blindly ?? U are even making my points for me ...Pele played in 4 WCs , but only one copa ... he never prioritised it ....Argentina won 91 and 93... but Maradona played 90 and 94 WC ...he also never prioritised it ... as i rightly said...that tournament is total crap ...its like world club cup

England never faced a strong team, they always reach this stage from the back door by beating weak teams. They have strong league but not strong national team so count them out. Highest na 3rd position them go get if them fit reach semifinals.

Bring the best of Europe like Portugal, Ordinary Chile has knocked them out of world cup twice same with Morocco. South Korea has gotten to the semis of WC knocking out Spain in the process,in the last WC Japan topped the group that had Belgium and Spain.
There's no European team that can beat Ordinary Colombia at the moment ,they have done 23 matches unbeaten winning the best of Europe in the ptocess. Italy that was the defending champion of euro could not qualify for the WC , also all the best of Europe are always in the WC because Europe alone has 16 teams in the WC, so what exactly is your point.
Meanwhile , south america has won 10 WC with less than 5 teams qualifying for WC, whereas your almighty Europe has won only 12 out of the 16 teams they always present so what exactly is your point?

I wasn't going to reply again but this would be the last. You seem to fabricate lots of stories from the figment of your imagination and pass it off. I listed different years Maradona participated in Copa editions yet you chose to believe your own delusion. Pele never participated more than once because there was a division in CONMEBOL after the 1959 edition that led to factions, Brazil did not participate with the first team squad, then Pele had to only focus on Santos. Then, in 1967, Copa was put on hold for about a decade because of continental crisis until 1975 when Copa resumed, by then Pele had retired from national team in 1971.

Brazil was knocked out by Croatia, and Belgium in the last 2 WCs ...these are European nations that have never won anything .. forget Uruguay, they can't even defeat any of Spain, Holland, Croatia, Switzerland...talkless of teams like Germany or France.... Argentina will not even get past the quarters at best ... do u think its easy playing at least 4 former recent world cup champions b4 lifting the trophy... in copa , once Brazil is eliminated, then we all know its Argentina cup to loose , vice versa ...

In the last WC ...Argentina only faced 1 former WC champion and one former European Cup champion and those were the 2 teams that forced a penalty shootout despite Argentina leading by 2 goals in both games ... just imagine if Argentina had to play Belgium in R16, and then England in Quaters , and Spain in the semis and Germany for the final... they will not survive it ... that's why the Euros is harder... for Portugal to win the Euros as it is now , they must beat France, Spain or Germany and then England or the Dutch ... all former World champions apart from the Dutch , who are 3 time world cup finalists ...
The bolded is not entirely true….. it’s not always the case. If England or Netherlands eventually win, they would avoid teams like France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

In 2016, France was the only World champion Portugal played enroute the finals.

R16 - Croatia
QF - Poland
SF - Wales
Final - France

U are saying total crap ... so because crystal Palace and wolves beat man city , that now means they are both better than man city ... those days that Bolton used to beat Arsenal now means Bolton were better than Arsenal back then... so because Benin beat Nigeria, I now means that Benin is better than Nigeria in world football... look at the empty head that I was even arguing with ... Georgia beat Portugal, so Georgia is now a better team than Portugal... Iceland knocked out England in 2016 Euros , Iceland is now better than England.... the only 2 teams that can match Portugal in the whole of South America is Brazil and Argentina and I can bet that Portugal will send them both to the cleaners ... when last did Argentina even defeat Germany?? 1986 ...since then , Argentina de collect non stop ... anytime France catch Brazil, na confirm victory for France ... look at how Germany annihilated the so called south American Kings 7.1 for their own backyard ... 5 teams from South America qualified for the world cup in Qatar ...only Brazil and Argentina could make it out of the group stage ... while 8 European teams qualified from the group stage .... and u here typing trash .... copa is total trash .... a competition meant for Brazil and Argentina
I won't argue with a mumu as your point is totally bland. My point is the south American teams are not winning by chance but cos they are better. Remove Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay,Colombia and Chile can beat any European team on a good day, infact Chile wooped portugal twice 2.0 in a WC. That did not happen by chance but cos they were better.
You are too myopic to o see that simply because your gaze is only on European football.
How can any ignoramus come out and say euros a continental competition is more difficult than WC that the whole world is playing and even the Europe that you mentioned have the most representation in the WC with 16 teams . Are you not contradicting yourself?
Get outta here and go and watch cartoon kid.

Oh so what have facts ...but u first made it seem like copa was so difficult that Pele and Maradona tried and tried but cudnt win it ... if they both were dedicated to it and there wasn't any issues with the tournament, they both would have won it multiple times ... so don't make it seem like Messi winning it is a major achievement... like he did was Pele and Maradona cudnt do
Maradona participated in COPA- 1979, 1983, 1987, 1989, lost all.
Pele participated in COPA- 1959, lost. Next edition in 1963, there was division in CONMEBOL, Brazil and Pele didn't participate, the following edition in 1967, COPA was put on hold for a decade because of continential crisis(political crisis in south america). COPA resumed in 1975 after the crisis but Pele had retired in 1971. This is the simplest i could break it down for you, if you still can't comprehend, i can't help your IQ.
Bye.

That's y portugal got lucky ...cos sometimes u need a bit of luck I the draws to advance ... that's y the Euros is harder cos they have the highest ranked teams in one tournament.... when porto won the champions league in 2004 , they were lucky cos united was the only tough team they played in the knockout , they were annihilated by real Madrid in the group stage ...but during the knock out they faced teams on their level like depotivo la coruna and Monaco in the final to lift it cos the major teams somehow were knocked out ... now for England to win the Euros, they must beat the Netherlands and must beat either of portugal, France, Spain or Germany... but first they must scale pass through Switzerland, another tricky tie ... unless we don't wanna be honest... even the Afcon is tougher than copa ... Nigeria, Ghana , Cameroon, Senegal, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Algeria ,Tunisia , Ivory Coast are major African forces in football .... Afcon is the only tournament that can be compared to the Euros .. the only difference is that the Euros have better teams .... Nigeria were eliminated I'm R16 by Tunisia in 2021 Afcon... u can't see Argentina or Brazil get eliminated like that ... Nigeria won Afcon in 2013 but cudnt even defend their cup cos they failed to qualify for the 2015 edition .... Italy won the 2020 Euros but cudnt qualify for WC in Qatar....but Brazil and Argentina will always certainly qualify for the world cup ...Always ... and both will always get to the final of the copa or at least 1 of both and u know this ...so why should some people think they are both the same ...they aren't... Scottish league and the English league are not the same

U are the one that have even rejected an IQ ... u try to act smart , but u end up fooling urself ... Messi lost copa in 07, 09, 11 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 19 b4 he finally won it in 21 ... that's 8 4kin attempts... Maradona attempted 4 times and left it..the 5th and 6th time, Argentina still won it without him , if u can't understand this , then u need critical help in comprehension

U are too dull for my standard... when did portugal play Chile in world cup?? But u decided to turn a blind eye when portugal defeated Uruguay 2.0 in the last world cup ... ok because Chile beat them 2.1 in the confederations cup and Morocco beat them Spain and Portugal...it now means Morocco and chile are better than.... so when Greece defeated Spain, portugal twice , France and Czech to win the Euros , it now means they are better than those teams ... so because Leicester won the league , they are now better than arsenal United City Liverpool spurs and Chelsea.... with ur same logic, Saudi defeated Argentina so it now means Arab countries will easily beat any copa team ... u see how dumb u are ... even a fake native doctor will easily diagnose that u are mentally unstable
