Reddit is full of fags saying that Messi can or should still be playing in Europe, but why would he if the level is the same around the world? No wonder Europoors have been slandering this tournament for 6 months, complete and UTTER exposure.
You do realize they're not even the best team in Portugal let alone one of the best in Europe? This tournament is missing the champions of England, Spain, Italy and Portugal yet for some reason the teams in it are supposed to be considered the "best in the world"
>>149293475 Every semi-retired guy could still play at a high level. The question is that the vast majority don't want to. Zé Roberto said this when he was 41, playing at a high level as a left-back, running all over the pitch and winning the Brazilian championship. Another problem could be chronic physical problems.
>>149293561 Miami won some north american mickey mouse cup to qualify, in reality they just needed an excuse to have Messi in the tournament. I don't know by what silly metric Porto is in this competition when they're not the best in Portugal which by the way is not even a top 5 league in Europe and they were nowhere near being among the best clubs in Europe. This tournament has no value simply due to the fact that actual good teams like Liverpool and Barcelona weren't invited but Porto and Salzburg for some reason were. Even Juventus has been a meme team these last few years and they were invited yet Napoli isn't there despite being better than them
>>149293761 Just make your dumb super league already. Those are the only teams you fags brag or care about anyway.

>>149293806 That's a ridiculous metric since teams can change their entire lineup in five years time and you end up with shit teams in the tournament instesd of the actual best clubs in the world
>>149293852 Correct, but you can also argue that it rewards teams that are consistently good rather than teams that have one good season and then immediately collapse.
>>149293761 THE 3RD PLACE IN PORTUGAL IS WORSE THAN THE 10TH (DÉCIMO) PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES OF MEMERICA how can you defend this lel

>>149293424 (OP) do latinxes think this flag represents europe? this shit is basically like the gay pride flag. nobody identifies with this besides some delusional faggots
>>149294320 brazil got 4 because they had 4 teams that won libertadores just like how mexico was supposed to have 3 teams. the cap only applies to teams that qualified through coefficients

Not really fussed about it at all but I have been noticing some 'questionable' decisions going for the local and neighbouring teams. Doesn't really matter anyway as we all know a European team will win it anyway.

Honestly CWC has been a net positive, for this board at least. The cross-continental banter is what this board is sorely missing when there are no Olympics or the WC. Seeing brazucas get uppity and banter the everloving fuck out of yuros genuinely makes my day
