Honestly I don’t even see a single team coming close to Argentina for the next copa America. The only country in the world that could possibly challenge argentina in my opinion is France and even then it’s a stretch. And I know England has talent but the way they play football I wouldn’t be convinced of them beating Argentina. Luckily England and France are in a different continent so argentina should have an easy win in 2024.
Im waiting for the November fixtures to dive fully into saying we’re outright favorites.
On pure talent alone, France and England can easily match Argentina. The difference is in the level of coaching
There are a few teams in South America that can probably give them a match. Ourselves, for one. Ecuador gave them quite a match for 75’. Of course you can never count Brazil out for too long either, and they’ll have an actual coach by then. Argentina are far and away the best team in the world, but they aren’t infallible. No team is. I think they’re overwhelming favourites, however. It’s a shame since I wanna remain on top of the Copa América list, but it’s very difficult to overlook Argentina for anything right now
