Argentina Is Cool, Calm, Collected, And Ready To Repeat As World Champs

Argentina Is Cool, Calm, Collected, And Ready To Repeat As World Champs

It's almost time for the World Cup. Before the tournament, we'll be previewing each of the top 15 teams by FIFA rankings that made the tournament. Why the top 15? Because that's how many we needed to do in order for the USMNT to make the cut. You can read all of our previews here.


Every country heading into the World Cup faces pressure, but not in equal amounts. For a side like Brazil, who hasn't won the World Cup in an unacceptable 24 years and hasn't even made it to the semis in either of the last two tournaments, the pressure can be suffocating. That's the type of pressure Argentina had heading into 2022, but thanks to one of the greatest soccer matches of all time coming out in Argentina's favor, the level of pressure heading into the 2026 edition has to be at a decades-long low.

What Congress Could Look Like Without Gerrymandering

TLdr: It would look much more like a government checked by the “conscent of the governed.”

“A 435-district map drawn without partisan favoritism shows what fair districts would look like nationwide — more representative, more competitive, and close to guaranteeing that whichever party wins the popular vote wins the House.”
