They are a good team. I didn't understand Fox's coverage of them.
Argentina may still win this WC, but I honestly think they blew their wad in 2014. They're aging now. Also, I feel like Argentina's teams of late 90's to mid 2000's were their historic best.

Before you go HAM, you might note that I was EXPLAINING Fox's headline, not defending it.
