fuck the bild, fuck axel springer in general. whoever reads and believes their shit is a dumb person by definition. that said, argentina traditionally aren't exactly a likeable football nation. they are incredibly sore losers, and this time around they have proven to be bad winners as well (against the netherlands). that does, however, not mean they don't deserve to be in the final, they clearly do. amongst what i considered the top 3 teams prior to the world cup (france, brazil, argentina) i thought they were the weakest, with a questionable defence and midfield - but they clearly stepped up their game after their initial loss, and were very solid and organised. so in regards to the football they play, i couldn't really say anything bad against them.
dybala, lol? what has HE done to "deserve it"? he's the embodiment of wasted talent imo. not arguing about messi and di maria - both are obviously amazing football players, and have been for a long time. alvarez is still very young, but certainly is on a good path too...
Dybala was injured very hard I heard so he missed out on many games and trainings.
