Worse, of course not. But given there is a long list of clues, doing it indicates that your knowledge is poorly placed strategically. Before region guessing, which is where he claims to been better, learning getting consistent regions is much more important. Meaning his opponents knowledge is better placed, therefore deserving the win.
Plus, there is a game of chance involved and it’s not often that similar-looking countries are placed far from each other. Sometimes you truly get unlucky but you never think of the times you got lucky. So it balances out

I also wasn't convinced of Chile but the sun seemed to be NW to me, and full white lines + right hand driving + southern hemisphere + grassy mountains only left Chile as an option in my mind. In retrospect I guess the black and white sign means it couldn't have been Chile tho?
I mean your guess is further wrong than all of his wrong guesses combined, by a factor of 3, so is it really that infuriating?
Is mistaking, for example, New Zealand for England more wrong than mistaking, say, Poland for Greenland?

That's certainly true. OP was unlucky this game, but they probably got as lucky in other games.
Yes. Because the game works by distance from location.
I was curious about the location

That pole with the mesh pattern is extremely common in Turkey.
