Nigeria, Iran and Bosnia are not exactly teams to test your defense whenever you got the likes of Messi and Di Maria in the front. Switzerland and Belgium were at most ok teams in the WC. They generated some hype on the road to WC, escpecially Belgium with Hazard but they didn't capitalized on it during WC.

Germany didn't have an easy group, they could've been eliminated if Ghana had played seriously.

Stop trying to do this, nobody gets to a World Cup final out of luck. Belgium was and is a good team regardless of your opinion, Switzerland was a decent team back in 2014, The Netherlands is the Netherlands and again it does not matter what the theoretical "level"of a team is or isn't, you gota play and win and many teams don't win. Costa Rica eliminated Italy and England and only lost on the penaltys to the Netherlands, Algeria went into extra time and coud've beat Germany. Germanys group was suposed to be hard but USA is sucking and was aready sucking back on 2014, Ghana played like shit and Portugal is a joke since 2011. Just stop trying to say Argentina isn't a solid team, team plays Belgium, Netherlands and Germany and conceads 1 goal in extra time and you are tyring to say its defense wasn't good... and Argentina played defense using fast counter strikes as its weapon on the entirety of the World Cup, it make sno sense to say they had bad defense when they did this for the whole Worlc Cup, reached the final and had more chances to win the game (and they realy should've won on regular time considering Huiguain missed the easiest goal ever and Messi missed another one) than the oposition did on said final playing the exact same way.

 

Just so you know in the last 8 matchs Argentina played they conceaded 3 goals.

You want me to stop giving my opinion because I think the only world class dfender in their team is Otamendi?

Barcelona also went a long stretch of games with clean sheets and good defensive record but we all knew how Pique and Dani Alves were average af.

Sorry your Netherlands example doesn't glue, their performance against Australia showed their true face; Martins Indi, Brumak and Van Der Wiel can't defend to save their lives.
