Coincidence or causality, the reason that excites Argentina linked to Brazil

The Argentine National Team wins its matches, marches in the South American qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup where it is the sole leader with nine points from three duels played, thinks about the duel on Tuesday against Peru in Lima at 11:00 p.m. and breaks collective and individual records in its path. With a solid base and the help of captain Lionel Messi without playing the entire game, the three-time world champion team is moving forward.

With the 1-0 victory against Paraguay at the Monumental Stadium in Núñez, Lionel Scaloni reached 20 games coached in this tournament and is undefeated with 14 wins and six draws. In addition, goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez surpassed Germán Burgos' historical record as the goalkeeper with the most minutes without conceding goals in the history of the Albiceleste team, a mark that he had held since 1998 with 608 minutes.

Without a doubt, the evolution of this team, including the three titles achieved between 2021 and 2022 inclusive, make it known and fully graphic that the number one position in the current FIFA ranking is not a coincidence, but rather the causality of factual and real events. that the national team goes through each FIFA double date that is disputed. And there is still one more in 2023 to be played in November which will be, scandalously, the most difficult of all because the rivals are Uruguay and Brazil, respectively.

The data that reflects another “I choose to believe” so that the Argentine fan gets even more excited

According to the journalist and statistician Gastón Trucco, only two world champions won their first four games at home without conceding goals after winning the World Cup. The first was Brazil, who won their first cup of five in Sweden 1958, and then beat England and Chile three times, while the remaining was Argentina after Qatar 2022 because they got rid of Panama, Curacao, Ecuador and Paraguay , respectively. But the most surprising of all is that in the next World Cup the champion was once again the Brazilian team in Chile 1962. Will Argentina be able to emulate Pelé's team?
