France, as they are now, would likely wrap up this match against Cape Verde within 60 minutes—not because France is significantly stronger than Argentina, but because France’s forwards possess exceptional breakthrough ability, precisely what Argentina lacks. Had Spain fielded a fully fit squad in their first match, the game wouldn’t have ended in a draw either.

If Cristiano Ronaldo wins this tournament, his honors will be on par with Messi’s—then the “Dual Kings” will retire.

It’s fine to stay calm, but not in this way! Losing to France or Spain and getting eliminated is acceptable—but being eliminated by Cape Verde is absolutely unacceptable!
