Argentina vs Portugal: A Data-Driven Comparison Without Messi and Ronaldo
The Post-Messi/Ronaldo Era: Breaking Down the Squads
When you remove two of football’s greatest influencers from their national teams, what remains? As someone who crunches numbers for living, I decided to put my Python scripts to work on this delicious hypothetical.
Argentina’s World Champion Core
The Albiceleste boast what I call ‘the Enzo Effect’ - a midfield trio (Mac Allister, De Paul, Enzo Fernández) that collectively averages 4.3 tackles per game. Their secret weapon? Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez’s 81.2% save percentage in high-pressure situations (yes, I tracked those World Cup penalties).
Portugal’s Tactical Flexibility
Bruno Fernandes orchestrates an attack averaging 2.1 expected goals per match. Defensively, Rúben Dias anchors a backline allowing just 0.7 goals per game in qualifying. But here’s the kicker - their fullbacks (Cancelo, Mendes) complete more progressive carries than Argentina’s entire defense combined.
The X-Factor:
While Argentina has better tournament pedigree, Portugal’s Bernardo Silva creates 3.5 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes. My predictive model gives Portugal a slight 52-48 edge… unless Martínez decides to reenact his World Cup heroics.

Sem Messi e Ronaldo, quem leva a melhor?
A análise dos números mostra que Portugal tem uma ligeira vantagem (52-48), mas cuidado! O ‘Efeito Enzo’ da Argentina e o goleiro Martínez são armas secretas.
Dados não mentem, mas as penalidades… Se o jogo for para os pênaltis, todos sabemos que Martínez vira um super-herói. Já Portugal conta com a versatilidade de Bernardo Silva.
E você, em quem aposta? Deixa nos comentários!
A Batalha dos Dados
Sem os dois ‘Deuses do Futebol’, parece que Portugal tem vantagem… mas cuidado com o Dibu Martínez! Meus algoritmos mostram que os portugueses têm 52% de chance - basicamente um empate técnico.
O Segredo? Enquanto Portugal manda nos passes progressivos (obrigado, Cancelo!), a Argentina tem o goleiro que vira super-herói em pênaltis. Quem precisa de Messi quando se tem estatísticas?
E aí, torcedores, já estão prontos para essa nova era? Digam nos comentários qual time vocês acham que levaria a melhor nesse duelo pós-lendas!
두 거목이 빠진 대결, 누가 더 강할까?
데이터 애널리스트의 눈으로 본 아르헨티나 vs 포르투갈! 메시와 호날두가 없다면… 아르헨티나의 ‘엔조 효과’ 미드필더(경기당 4.3 태클) vs 포르투갈의 브루노 페르난데스(경기당 2.1 예상골). 골키퍼 마르티네스의 월드컵 페널티 기록(81.2% 선방률)만큼 치열한 승부예요!
숨은 승부처는?
포르투갈 풀백들이 아르헨티나 수비 전체보다 더 많은 돌파를 기록한다니… 근데 우리 마르티네스가 또 ‘월드컵 모드’로 들어간다면? 제 예측 모델은 근소한 52:48로 포르투갈 우세! 여러분의 예상은? 💻⚽ #데이터가말하는진실 #축구토론창개설
Argentina vs Portugal: Data Battle!
Kung wala si Messi at Ronaldo, sino kaya ang mas malakas? Ayon sa data, may ‘Enzo Effect’ ang Argentina—ang midfield trio nila ay parang traffic enforcers, 4.3 tackles per game! Tapos si Dibu Martínez, parang bouncer sa club, 81.2% save percentage kapag high-pressure. Grabe!
Sa Portugal naman, si Bruno Fernandes ang DJ ng attack—2.1 expected goals per game. At ang defense nila? Parang Fort Knox, 0.7 goals lang per game. Pero ang tunay na X-factor? Ang fullbacks nila na mas maraming carries kesa sa buong defense ng Argentina!
Final verdict: 52-48 para sa Portugal… unless mag-WC mode ulit si Dibu! Ano sa tingin nyo, mga ka-DATA? 😆
