Friendly reminder that this is a worthless trophy
>WC wins by literal fodder
0, only time garbage like Uruguay won the trophy was when football hadn't even been a sport yet
>EC wins by literal fodder
Wow, where to begin? Denmark, Portugal, Greece, Czech Republic
Not any more. South American teams have been garbage over the last decade. Its just as hard to win the euros now as it is the world cup.
It isn't becuase players don't take the Euros even remotely as serious as the WC. Winning the WC is a crowning achievement that will forever make your countrymen lick your boots. Winning the EC is basically, well, great you won a trophy but who really cares if it wasn't accompanied by a WC.
then why can't those mighty euro winners go far at the world cup?
Because FIFA always try to rig as much as possible for the south american audience
Only 2 of the last 8 teams at the last world cup were south american. And none of those two made it to the final four.
Not to mention the fact that a euro team has won the last 4 editions of the world cup
Czechoslovakia reached a WC final
Croatia too
and here I thought it was because the memes teams were more likely to play against big teams
they sure would have if they were in the other bracket
because they only faced euro teams, usually those teams get cockblocked by south american teams, there was only colombia
Croatia destroyed Argentina
why cant mighty France beat Portugal in 2016?
for the amount of seething it caused, I wouldn't call it worthless
for instance, the nations league didn't provoke such levels of butthurt
Cope
we're benevolent
You forgot to list the Netherlands mate
Winning a Euro also takes fewer games which makes flukes more likely
Also the groups are harder, less likely to get a Saudi Arabia or a Panama to shit on so you get decent teams not qualifying from the groups sometimes.
Or it was that way until the expansion anyway.
Nice cope.
Shit teams like Portugal are allowed to advance as third place and never win a match rightfully or even in extra time except against the might WALES. that's why no one took the Euro seriously.
>allowed to advance as third place
Argentina in WC 1990 (finalists)
>never win a match rightfully
what's winning a match rightfully?
>the worst team of the top bracket is better than the best team of the lower one
What the fuck are you talking about? Last two euros were competitive as fuck
