Data Says: Portugal’s the Real MVP

Let’s be real — remove Messi and Ronaldo, and Portugal doesn’t just win. They upgrade.

Argentina’s defense is solid (thanks to Martínez’s penalty-saving algorithms), but Portugal’s midfield matrix? It’s like watching chess played at warp speed.

And yes, I ran the sims — three coffees in, one spreadsheet out — and guess what? Portugal edges ahead by 52.8%.

So yeah… but if you’re still team Argentina? That’s your eye test talking. Mine says: data don’t lie.

You want chaos? You want creativity? You want Vitinha dribbling through defenses like he hacked the game?

That’s not luck — that’s math.
