Yup. You must be born in 2000 or something. No point continuing this nonsense.

I stand corrected - you're absolutely right. Mejico finished runners up twice, and Honduras even managed 3rd that one time.
But, the Euros have also had their fair share of surprises: Denmark winning it in 92 and Greece in 2004 the obvious ones.

Nope. I don't care, but this is asinine and revisionist BS. Also, recency bias springs to mind. If you want to believe that shit, it's your prerogative. I don't care enough to change your mind, but I will point out the stupidiy of adhering to such a belief.

Stats. Yes. Because stats of course always tell the whole story.
Messi is a great player, and he's possibly the best of all time for many (just not for me).
I don't think this Argentina team has the flair, guile, or defensive solidity that some of the teams of the late 70s and 80s possessed.
Also, winning the Copa now is probably easier than winning the Asian Cup, seeing as the quality of opposition is absolutely dire. Where is the Chile team of old? Brazil are a shadow of their former selves, and teams like Paraguay and Peru have faded into obscurity in recent times. The only decent teams in South America, Argentina aside of course, are Colombia and Uruguay.
If I am being honest, I don't think this Argentina team beats Spain from 2008 to 2012, France 98 to 2002 (Thuram, Zidane, Vieira, Henry, Trezeguet), or the Italy team with Buffon, Nesta, Cannavaro, Pirlo, De Rossi, Del Piero, Totti, and Vieri.

My agenda only includes trophies since that's what the spaniards I deal with on social media bring up.
But let's get real for a sec.. hombre a hombre
Brazil of the 70s and 82 blow this team out of the water with their playing style.
France's golden generation played quite attractive as well.
Italy flopped, sorry but 2006 was the bare minimum.
Spain 2008-2012 is the big red flag for me, I can go hours and hours about how overrated they are. What did they do that was so special outside of 2008? In 2010 they scraped by and in 2012 they were criticized until they played a mediocre italian team in the final..
This argentina team is not the flashiest, but we are deadly on the counter, have a very very tough defense, and have two geniuses in messi and di maria up front. This era is coming to a close though.
I hope you're able to tell when I'm trolling about the martinez remarks lol

I was doing a research for an article recently. You have no idea how many (mostly Jewish) prostitutes from the eastern parts of Austria-Hungary or the westernmost parts of Russia went to Argentina via Constantinople in the first decade of the 20th century. I'm being serious 
Not that this info is relevant to the discussion, but if Kevster is a descendant of one of these women, he might be a true Argie indeed.

You're an allegri apologist, I could look past that
But you're also very boring. I think one member here called you out on that before.
Just a very unlikable character on this forum.
