most of us surely want to see the best teams,even if they haven't been at their best in qualifying like France,Argentina and Portugal.
That doesn't really make sense though, does it?
If they're not the best in qualifying, then they're not the best - they merely have the biggest reputation.
Further to that, Portugal and 'best' wouldn't have been mentioned in the same breath until, what, 2000? If not later than that.
