Chile really are currently the best team in the World.
Brazil & Argentina are shit these days like the rest of us. Too much money, and too much sponsorship sway. The sport's dying while the fat cats get fatter.
Maybe because they don't have loads of overpaid "superstars" in their ranks and still have loads of players who are still hungry.
I think we may see a sea change in football power over the next few years. Most of the top teams over the years have been made up of lower class kids from ghetto's who were literally fighting for their lives. The 'top' nations players are all cherry picked and pampered from a young age nowadays and have a soft underbelly. Watch out for teams like Croatia, Serbia, Peru, Bolivia in the future. They will have kids living in slums right now seeing what they can earn and they will fight like tigers to get it.
Probably explains the Yanks demise

Football was always a working class game and still is


and complicated
