Germany 2014 had a lot of character IMO and simply superior talent.
Bastian, Lahm, prime Neuer, Kroos, Boateng, Muller etc.
I just don't see the current German team having a similar talent pool/grit on the biggest stage. I could be wrong though.

The current level of football is also much lower.... and the mentality lies in the blood of the germans, its something they are born with. Only france is able to beat them.Originally Posted by KingLeo10
how do you know they are "bum ass" btw? do you actually watch USA games or are you just assuming they are bad because they are American?
In this case, assumptions are sufficient. Considering US hasn't produced 1 player who has played for an elite European team while said team was actually dominant.
+ the statement that Andrea pirlo is a top coach reduces his credibility
Seriously, the post from DonAK was a bit too much, rassvet watches nearly every US matches so im sure he has a good knowledge about their players, more than the most of us.

That's the kind of logic that led Bartomeu to snub Alphonso Davies
Barca tried to sign Davies.
Barca legend Hristo Stoichkov spoke to Bartomeu about Alphonso Davies months before Bayern came on board. Bartomeu's response was "he is Canadian, no thanks." [@LuisOmarTapia]
I know that nonsense story has been banded about but Davies agent was in Barca to negotiate a contract for B team and club took too long and Bayern came in with far better offer and first team.
U debunk too much fake news, Barcaforum members bot happy with u
Davies is a good player but predictably, his biggest success has come against this carcass of a Barca team.That's the kind of logic that led Bartomeu to snub Alphonso Davies
All I'm saying is you won't find a Carvajal, Alba, Alaba tier fullback in the US, never mind an Alves, Marcelo tier.
They are bad. At least the players you recommend. There are some interesting talents coming through that could make an impact in Europe though so I'll give you that.
The MLS is a garbage league.
Davies is also the exception to the rule......that most US footballers just suck
And he's Canadian and not American so that's another thing
Ah yes. The 72 year old wise man.+ the statement that Andrea pirlo is a top coach reduces his credibility

I watch Norwegian Football yet I don't tell you we should sign Erik Botheim and Ola Solbakken who destroyed Roma.

"Messi agrees with Argentina to focus on PSG in the coming months"

Hope this is true as Argentina's starting XI is set and the "squad players" like Julian Alvarez, Joaquin Correa, Palacios and etc. need all the international experience they can get before the WC starts.
Fun fact: This was the earliest Argentina was able to qualify in history with 5 games left. We can enjoy the rest of the games while drinking some mate.

PSG, Argentina, Barca. In that order

In few years I expect Canada to dominate CONCACAF (currently on top in WC 2022 qualifiers), the new generation of talent pool, mostly of African origin, is already making impact. Alphonso Davies of course the biggest name, but Jonathan David playing for Lille also should be mentioned.
As for Argentina, I think I mentioned in Messi's thread, WC 2022 will be another unsuccesful attempt to win the tournament for Leo for one last time, a swan song. Both Argentina and Brazil are shadow of their former glory and not considered favorites with the current generation of players. European NT teams are more balanced in quality, but the weather conditions in Qatar, complacency or poor coaching could lead to surprises.
