go to the main topic. today, i would like to talk about football. my favorite sport. i read an article from www.goal.com , this article talk about AC Milan's forward player, Filippo Inzaghi, who claim that his team has the best attacker squad in the whole world. you can read the complete version of the article here.this is his quote : “I think we are favourites for the Scudetto alongside Inter, Juve and Roma but we have the best attack, no-one has a striking department like ours."
actually, this team indeed has some top world players, lets say, they just sign a contract with Ronaldinho, who rewarded best football player by FIFA in 2004. however, if we see from the quote that stated by Filippo Inzaghi, he does not have a strong supporting argument that can support his statement. in this article actually Inzaghi mention about the comeback of Andriy Shevchenko, former Chelsea FC player whose the credibility is proven by his goals and performances.
lets see it in an easier form :
Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko are two of the best player in the world who just signed a contract with AC Milan
A team who has best player in the world will win the competition
AC Milan will win the competition
it is a valid argument because the conclusion necessarily follow the premises. however, it is a bad valid argument, because the premises and the conclusion can be asked easily, like " are you sure they are the best player ?" etc. so the statement that is stated in the article is valid but bad argument.
good day
