I'm not saying messi is better or worse. I'm saying messi has had an undoubtedly better team throughout the years, which counts a lot to having more games and scoring more goals.

But yeah, everyone here agrees our team should perform better throughout the years. 2010 we were unlucky, 2014 was a disgrace, 2018 we played better than uruguay but the game is what it is, and 2022 morocco parked the bus as it should have, but they also knocked belgium and spain out.

The rank doesn't really matter specially in knock out stages, we were 3rd for a good amount of time, yet I would never say we were actually the third best national team in that era.

And there is an obvious correlation with the number of games played
