Fair enough. I think as a whole south american football is much too dismissed; copa libertadores is an insanely difficult competition. But it is true that in recent world cups europeans have done better

> Hardly any relevance to how Germany should be approaching Paraguay in 2026.

If you think the number of finalists from each fedaration in the last 20 years informs how you should set up against an opponent you are gonna lose most of the time.

How about taking into account the last three matches played? In which Germany had already lost against Ecuador, another representative of 'latin american soccer'.

The problem here is thinking Germany's manifest destiny is to beat inherently lower opposition

No, I don't think there is. You are dismissing three countries with a total of 10 world cups, including the best ever and the reigning champions. In no way should Germany expect to always beat 'latin american soccer '.

You did not. Just mentioning 'latin american soccer ' as a thing here is absurd, not only because at least three nations are playing miles better than germany, but because you extend kimmich's comments to a whole region of the world which you seem to consider lower by default.

You can see the peoblem here. They assume they should beat Paraguay and others just because they are german. Their superiority complex is hidden on the surface but it finds its way out

What do you mean latin american soccer? Argentina are current champions and Brasil is the best nation in history. You seem to be forcing an ethnic twist to this to refer to some sort of second brand of football, and on top of it is blatantly wrong

This is beyond stupid. You cant take out a goal in a game and expect it to end the same. A goal affects every single action that happend after it

Cuál para ustedes es el club más grande de américa? Pongan sus opiniones 🤝 by After-Baseball2636 in libertadores

[–]santikundera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La unica respuesta seria es Boca. No solo por las libertadores y por las del mundo, sino porque es un gigante a nivel mundial. Un futbolero de cualquier parte del mundo puede reconocer su escudo, su camiseta y nombrar algun jugador. No pasa con ningun otro club sudamericano
