Yes, it's only natural for matches to be worse when including more relatively poorer teams. The sieve should stay the same size for sure, perhaps just change the barriers to entry, like they did with qualifying spots through League of Nations

Tactics and systems aren't the focus in a comp where players get together to train 5 times a year. It's just weird to measure it by club standards. It's a test of rapid cohesion and adaptability from both players and coaches. Just different way to go about the sport.

True

This is why I don't like when people rave about players, let's say, Pedri having good Euros.

Tactics are horrible at NT competitions.
It is all about chemistry and which NT team will be less bad.
Also, having 5-10 players from the same team like Barca/Real/Bayern often helps against other NT teams with zero chemistry and understanding.

Also, the answer is quite obvious why WC cup stars often flop on a club level (James Rodriguez, El Hadji Diouf and similar).
Because they had 3 good games against shitty NT teams, but are not good enough for club football with more chemistry, better tactics and more cohesive opponents.

That was a really nicely worked goal from Iran.

Saka is a great player.

Nah players playing well in intl tournaments matter and they are no judged on these opening games v poor sides all that much.

For every Rodrigiuez or James there are plenty of top players who have never matched their club form as well.. Messi and Ronaldo being prime examples.

Rashford is on fire this season

Yeah, Saka has just doubled Rooney's World Cup goalscoring tally in one game.

Tomorrow the world is going to see the best player ever. I am warming up. Enjoy the show Cristiano fans.

When Rooney beat Croatia in 2004 everyone thought he would be an all time great.

He is only the boat !!!!!!!!

In my opinion but who cares about me. I am okay with Messi being the best and Ronaldo the greatest. Its just the idiots who think Ronaldo is better even though it makes zero sense, piss me off to no end. Here is to good trolling and overtaking your post count

I am absolutely crushing this forum with my football prowess and honesty/trolling ability.

24 minutes of extra times over the whole game is a bit mental.

Am I missing something ? 10 mins of extra time while the score is 6-1 ? For what ?
