I think Euro is harder because there are more high-level teams that can challenge for the title. On average, the level of the teams that make it past the group stage is higher (in my opinion).
What do you guys think?
Keep it civil please :)
I’m South American, but I believe the Euros are harder to win. You have to actually qualify first then you have more teams that are threats.
World Cup semi-finalists since in the past 40 years:
1982: Italy, West Germany, Poland, France (4 from UEFA)
1986: Argentina, West Germany, France, Belgium (3 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL)
1990: Germany, Argentina, Italy, England (3 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL)
1994: Brazil, Italy, Bulgaria, Sweden (3 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL)
1998: France, Brazil, Croatia, Netherlands (3 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL)
2002: Brazil, Germany, Turkey, South Korea (2 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL, 1 from AFC)
2006: Italy, France, Portugal, Germany (4 from UEFA)
2010: Spain, Netherlands, Uruguay, Germany (3 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL)
2014: Germany, Argentina, Netherlands, Brazil (2 from UEFA, 2 from CONMEBOL)
2018: France, Croatia, Belgium, England (4 from UEFA) 2022: Argentina, France, Croatia, Morocco (2 from UEFA, 1 from CONMEBOL, 1 from CAF)In summary, out of 44 spots in World Cup semis, 33 (75%) went to 11 different teams from UEFA, 9 (20%) went to 3 different teams from CONMEBOL, and 2 (5%) went elsewhere. Winning the EUROs is significantly more difficult.
Copa America has two teams really. The euros have a lot More than that.
Geography wise, its natural that Euro is harder to win
HA
Euro is harder but the SA qualifiers are harder than the euro qualifiers regarding the WC. This should be common knowledge
AFCON is harder than both.
Euros, way more competitive and it doesn’t happen nearly as often. I don’t know why but it feels like the Copa America happens every other year
has to be europe, in south ametica their are only 2-4 teams which dominate the whole tournament
euros are way more difficult as well as exciting to watch
Is this even a question? Lmao
Real question?
The Euro. Some say it’s harder than the World Cup?
