The reason people used to say that the Euros are harder to win than the World Cup despite Brazil and Argentina not featuring (I personally don’t think this has been the case for a while) is because it’s largely comprised (along with better versions of Germany and Italy) of the teams that dominated the quarter finals of this tournament, in which the semis essentially consists of pitting the top players from Barcelona, Real, Arsenal, PSG and Bayern (the top champions league teams if last season) against each other by way of the four top ranked national teams. That is to say international football is still quite unequal.

Is there a scouting department that cooked harder than Dortmund in the 2010s? 3 of 6 on this list alone, but it started with Lewandowski back in 2010. (I think that front office is washed now, tho)
@Sharifator Yeah you can find exceptions but the World Cup is systematically rigged for European Teams like Spain. So I find all the hate directed at the only team left in the tournament representing a country in the Global South to be quite exasperating.
