So nobody disagrees 19-24 Argentina is the best national team of all-time?

First national team in history to win four tituleros consecutively. Comparison to 08-12 Spain is pretty easy to make.

Argentina since CA19 loss to now.

62 games
50 wins
10 draws
2 losses

Copa America 2021
Intercontinental Cup 2022
World Cup 2022
Copa America 2024

Spain from start of Euro 2008 to winning Euro 2012.

67 games
58 wins
3 draws
6 losses

Euro 2008
- Failed Confederations Cup 2009
World Cup 2010
Euro 2012

Spain with slightly better results statistically, but this is mostly from playing home games actually in home, rather than travelling to other side of the world to play "home" games.
This Argentina is an unbeatable team when it matters. Spain also failed 2013 Confederations Cup, and this Argentina has chance to still win that too against Spain next year.

You don't even see people in Argentina make this claim Laughing

The comparison point is Brazil 58-70 and I think they win it easily.

Can't make that comparison, when the core changed during those years. You could make it to 58-62 Brazil, but Brazil didn't win single Copa from 49 to 89.
