Italy vs Argentina

After the 2018 World Cup missed the match, with the retirement of the five-time World Cup veteran-Goalkeeper Buffon and the newly hired coach Mancini, it was officially announced that the Roman Legion had entered a painful period of change. As Mancini abandoned Italy's old-fashioned reputation-oriented employment style and boldly adopted young people, the remaining Italian veterans also vaguely passed on the capacity to a new generation of players. After four years of hard work, he finally won the European Cup of Nations and retired. The rival England, regained the long-lost glory, and then rewrote the historical record of international football with 37 unbeaten matches.

In addition, seeing the king of Argentina football in the 2021 America's Cup, sitting on the historical level of Messi , a contemporary football legend, but facing a championship drought in international competitions, this has made Argentina criticized for a long time, making fun of Argentina since Maradona. No more peaks. In 2014, Messi led his team to the final but met Germany, who were united, and lost a goal. In 2018, the World Football Team was eliminated in the round of 16, and finally won the Copa America championship in 2021.
