[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1159990, member: 70552"] Argentina had Messi to galvanise the team, who were hell bent he wouldn’t play his likely last World Cup without winning one having failed to win the previous 4 he played in. Can we say this about their Rugby equivalent? And Rugby being a much different sport more about the team. And in the equivalent period for football (1986 -2022) or 10 WC: only 8 teams have reached the WC finals of which only 6 were winners. Germany - 2/3 Argentina - 2/4 Brazil - 2/3 France - 2/4 Italy - 1/2 Spain - 1/1 Holland - 0/1 Croatia - 0/1 Argentina v Germany happened 3 times. And only 2 new winners in France and Spain in that time. Point is even football is a closed shop with very few countries getting to final and winning then winning the big prize. [/QUOTE]
