Every team struggles at some point in South American qualifying because it's incredibly difficult. That's hardly a point.
You just listed a bunch of reasons why they're a fancy side and then somehow conclude that they're "nothing special". As if having one of the best striker partnerships, defence partnerships, and an array of great young midfield talent somehow isn't anything noteworthy? Never mind competing in this mediocre group.
Yeah, thanks I watch enough of the SA qualifiers to know how hard it is. What Uruguay did at times in their qualifiers was awful they were as abysmal as Argentina at a certain point. Yeah, they cleaned up their game in the latter stages but it shouldn't be a foregone conclusion that they will walk through this group.
I mean I still have them winning the group and actually making it to the quarters. People just need to temper their hyperbole on them.
Razvan Marin is disappoint. Romania & Hungary are easily the most interesting...4th tier european teams...
Don't care if Argentina or any other actual world cup contenders played in them in the knock out stages it would be considered a by... and that's the point.
