Is it a good thing for Argentina to decline in the world rankings? Ah Fan: It was ranked third when he won the 2022 World Cup.

With Argentina losing to Ecuador 0-1 away in the World Cup in South America and Spain and France winning streak in the European World Cup, the Argentine men's football team's world ranking will drop from 1st to 3rd this month.

Many Argentina is sad about this, because Argentina has been ranked first in the world for more than two years, but some fans believe that a decline in Argentina's ranking is not necessarily a bad thing, because when Qatar won the World Cup, Argentina happened to be ranked third in the world. At that time, the biggest favorites to win the championship were France and Brazil, but in the end Messi led the Argentinian to the championship throne, and Messi became the undisputed world football king.

It should be said that this statement is definitely not self-comfort, but is very scientific. In the football field, it is a rule that the hottest will die. No team has defended the Hercules Cup. Argentina is one of the closest teams, and it is the only team that is likely to complete the defending title against the Hercules Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup.

If Argentina has always been the world's number one, it will inevitably trigger the world's strongest efforts to focus on Argentina, and thus unexpectedly defeat Argentina like Ecuador. On the contrary, if Argentina is down to third place and goes to the World Cup next year's low-key world cup, especially Messi has always maintained a question mark on whether to participate in the World Cup, it will easily make other teams feel that Argentina and Messi are "old" and thus relax their vigilance in the game, which may benefit Argentina.

Of course, to be honest, no world-class team can definitely defeat Argentina at the moment. Mbappe, Kane, and Haaland are world-class strikers. The sum of the strength of these three should be above Messi, Spider-Koy, and Lautaro, but the three strikers behind are playing for Argentina at the same time. Looking at the world, no team can have three such forwards at the same time!
