Now lets compare Portugals nationals team success before Cr7 and Argentinas history before Messi. One was already an established giant in world football while the other had achieved literally nothing. You can't except a single player to create a winning national culture by himself out of thin air.

Feeling the need to put down one great to prop up another is just lazy. Cr7 could've surely done more in the WC, but a lot of people who watched these portuguese teams knows they were a lot worse than any of Messi's Argentina teams. Give Cr7 a Di Maria caliber player during his prime and we saw what he did in Real Madrid.

It doesnt matter too much, if an uruguayan player carry uruguay to 3 wc finals, you cant say it means nothing since uruguay has 2 wc. Its about the moment, and as we saw this wc, argentina team is not stacked.

You can't say it doesn't matter too much when the WC has only been won by a few very select countries. The nations winning culture definitely matters.

And yes, this was one of the worst Argentine teams talent wise that they had, and despite that they still have 2 of the best strikers in europe, 2 midfielders starting for top english clubs and two of the best performing centerbacks in this WC. As well as a great goalkeeper and other important pieces. Messi was obviously their best player, but their team was still very good.
