Yeah, that's why Argentina has 5 world cup finals, they don't deserve even what they got...

You could at least try to understand what I wrote before calling it the top mountain of bollocks you saw on this forum, which is very offensive to be honest, considering the amount of, lets say, not very enlightened stuff, posted around here daily.

England has always been an average team, with no expression whatsoever on world cup aside from that title.
Not the same for France, they did had a boost in the last twenty years and some hand picked really good players as well, have a lot more expression than England, but still not so much as Netherlands and for sure not even close to Argentina, that like you or not, has a phenomenal world expression on football (that's coming from a Brazilian).

England and France are not on the level of being on the select group they are, that could be said about Uruguay nowdays as well, but Uruguay at least had a clear era of being a big guy, in the past.

Except the team England had in 1990 was one of the most formiddable and expressive of the tournament, he's right in that you posted bullocks as what defines teams into their groups is the team performance and both England and France completely dismantled teams in the WCs they won.
