Very true. That's what I meant the other day when I mentioned Messi's change in attitude possibly being what Argentina needed to step up their game. He finally behaved like them, so he fit in better. For better or worse, national teams often peak when they are a faithful reflection of the society they represent.


wtf did i just read?! how many examples of that do you have to make such a conclusion? i'd love to hear a couple...

streets here in CABA (Buenos Aires) are still chaotic. we've been given vacation day for tomorrow to stay around while players & cup drives through


What’s an example of a chaotic activity? Like flipping cars?

Gotcha.

I would have just bought a Messi memorabilia but I suppose stealing tires is also another way of expressing your happiness.

It's easier to get behind a team when you feel identified with it, and vice versa, it also motiates the team. When there's a good understanding between team and fanbase, it makes things easier... there are examples of this in pretty much every WC tbh.

Isn't just for national teams, look at Arsenal for example.

i'm more interested in which teams specifically you consider "faithful reflections" of their respective nations and what characteristic made them so.
for example, was germany 2014 such a case, and how did that team differ from our '18 and '22 teams, in terms of faithfully reflecting the nation? what about spain in recent tournaments as opposed to your team from 15 years ago?


that teams play better when they are motivated and get a lot of support is hardly something worth noting, i'm curious about your society characteristic claims. maybe giving me some examples could help me understand how you think they are related?
