The point for me is that in the world cup there are different styles of play coming from each continent, so an african team in good form can be more challenging than a second tier european, the same goes for mexico and second tier south americans like colombia and chile

It is very unlikely that any team outside of europe and south america will ever win it, so only looking at the winner is not a good enough perspective.

You can't compare the Euros to the Champs League though as one is international and the other is domestic. It's apples and oranges, like comparing Barcelona with Brazil.

European football is boring to watch, but it's effective. The rest of the world seems to think that attackers win you football games, while more or less only Europe seems to understand that these are the DEFENDERS, instead - you'll need to have proper discipline in defence in order to progress through the tournaments. Thus, European superiority is primarily based on their discipline in defence, while they players' technique and beauty of the game can be seriously lacking compared to an average South American team, but also compared to the several top teams from other confederations (e.g. Japan, Mexico, Drogba's era Ivory Coast).

@No Name What about England?

They have made this rule so Germany, France and Portugal can continue.

This is soon going to happen in the World Cup too when it switches to 48 teams. You can't have groups of 6 as it would mean far too many games for teams to play in the groups.

@@JaJebie69 gonna be a never ending World Cup then. Far too many games.

@@quintomoro6631 you're right about that. It seems like UEFA is just trying to include more teams to engage a larger audience.

@@quintomoro6631 Because viewership is far higher when everyone is represented. However having everyone involved also means a lower standard of football quality.

Honestly, there were also underdogs who won the world cup (like in 1954 and 1950) but in the past decades only the favorite have won it and it includes more quality teams and quality players than the euros. World cup >>> euros.
