Greece has the best win ever.
Post all the teams, you coward
Holy shit we have 1 fucking win in 5 Euros
And it’s against England with a winner in 89 min
Wow, Scotland with only 9 games… have we only qualified three times? 😯
A third of all of England’s Euro wins ever came in Euro 2020 lmao
We’re proper shit at that tournament.
Beating you guys at Wembley in the final will forever be one our fondest memories
Coulda just ended just shit honestly.
Don’t think there’s any other country’s media that overhypes the National team quite like ours lol.
!But obviously it’s coming home next year!<
Well we’ve at least won a World Cup and had some decent runs down the years. Aside from in Euro 96 and 21 we’ve been a disaster in the Euros. Knocked out at the group stage in 1980, 1988, 1992 and 2000, finishing bottom of the group twice. Failed to qualify in 1984 and 2008 and won only one knockout game that wasn’t held in England ever (4-0 vs Ukraine in Rome).
The most annoying thing is that people kept saying “bring it home” but they never won the Euro before
Ah yes that famous song bring it home, bring it, bring football home!
It’s called a joke
You’ll sing YNWA though
Barely a top 10 European NT, bit shocking for a country with England’s means and culture.
Crazy stat I saw the other day: if you subtract London, the GDP of the rest of England is lower than the poorest US state
Can’t believe we will miss 24 team Euros, truly incredible failure
Nope Wales did us a solid
I totally get your sentiment, but Croatia having constantly been as good as they have with the number of inhabitants is definitely not the norm.
Considering Portugal were shit until 96, it’s quite a good result
It’s not that we were just shit. It’s also that it was harder to qualify. Between 1960 and 1992, only 8 or less teams qualified. The enlargement of the tournament allowed us to participate more times.
You were shit. You only qualified twice to the world cup prior to 2002.
People on this sub would have you believe that we only became good because of Ronaldo
Maybe not because of but certainly improved since/during. He was already there in 96 I believe, and has been ever since.
I mean… 26/39 games here had Ronaldo in the squad. Portugal did well in the 84 and 00 euros though.
3/17 WC qualification prior to ronaldo and 5/5 with Ronaldo.
I think it’s more due to the fact of improving academies and getting football / coaching / tactical periodization taught in college concluding in a general evolution of portuguese football instead of just relying on mid foreign players just because it’s cheaper.
Also developing coaches such as José Mourinho, Jorge Jesus, André Villas-Boas, Bruno Lage, Luís Castro, Vítor Pereira, Abel Ferreira, Marco Silva, Sérgio Conceição, Jesualdo Ferreira, Carlos Carvalhal or Leonardo Jardim which consequently led to developing players such as Costinha, Maniche, Tiago, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Moutinho, Meireles, Bosingwa, Nani, Quaresma, Coentrão, Danilo, William, Nelson Semedo, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Diogo Dalot, Nuno Mendes, Bruno Fernandes, João Palhinha, Ruben Neves, João Félix, Vitinha, Matheus Nunes, Rafael Leão, etc etc etc
I wonder if this had something to do with Portugal’s recent success. But I don’t think so, it probably was because of Ronaldo, sure.
In ‘04 CR7 was a secondary player. Portugal would be one of the favorites with or without him especially considering it was a home turf
I mean… 26/39 games here had Ronaldo in the squad.
Do I really need to point out the problem with this logic? I genuinely mean that
2004 euro they were in the finals with the Greece
You were shit compared to now. You only qualified twice to the world cup prior to 2002 but qualified to every WC since then.
Yes, that’s right. But the reason we became good was not Ronaldo
We have 19 wins and only 2 of those were after winning against Czechia in the 2012 QFs
We weren’t that shit, qualifying was harsher than it is now and we were unlucky a few times.
You were shit compared to now. You only qualified twice to the world cup prior to 2002 and qualified to every WC since then.
lol pls tell me ur joking Maria
The lac operon has a single promoter. The genes encode proteins that allow the bacteria to use lactose for energy.
Why would the lactose operon be switched on in the presence of glucose? There is already a source of energy, you fucking idiot.
This is basic biochemistry. Why the fuck would the operon be activated, does that make any sense?!??
We are massive.
wtf we’ve only lost 6 euro matches?
guess it makes sense if we have a high percentage of making it out of the groups, as a loss eliminates us. still crazy
You love to draw
Euros in the past we barely qualified half the times and when we did we did well, it’s not surprising at all. Even in '04 we never lost and we exited in groups.
Also the advantage of simply not qualifying if your team is ““proper shit””, Italy never lost more than one game at an EC even when you went out in groups. You even managed to get knocked out in groups without a loss in 2004. Germany in contrast always qualified but has a lot of ECs with 2 losses, often that infamous 2nd group stage game, and sometimes even had 2 losses in group stages (2000).
biscotto biscotto biscotto
If you count every extra game for Germany as a loss for Italy Italy would just have 1 more loss than Germany and I’m sure Italy wouldn’t have lost every single group game with not even a draw. It’s not like there is a staggering difference in games played.
I’m in favor of Italy losing their next 8 euro matches for the sake of academic discussions
You even managed to get knocked out in groups without a loss in 2004.
Why lose when draw is enough?
Can’t lose many matches if you don’t qualify
Iceland only lost 1…
Where are the rest of the teams?
Shite effort.
Look for the comment with “here”. All 37 teams listed.
You’re missing a few
Only 37 countries ever qualified for the Euros. Look for the comment that says “here” in this post. Link to the rest is there.
wtf is this? It’s missing Romania.
Romania
Frate, Romania are O SINGURA victorie in toata istoria ei la campionatele europene.
With its 1-5-10 record Romania didn’t make it.
A short story of Denmark and Turkey shitting the bed.
Croatia doing better than Yugoslavia with 3 times as many wins is pretty impressive
Keep in mind that from 1960 to 1976 the Euro was only a 4-team tournament, and from 1980 to 1992 an 8-team one.
While the first tournament Croatia took part in was composed of 16 teams until 2012, and 24 teams currently.
I think the format changes are what surprises younger people in terms of how few wins/losses teams have. Back in the day it was a very quick tournament, 2 games and done. Even the expanded format, 5 and done if you won it all
It’s pretty crazy we have barely made it to any euros before 1996 and yet so high in these standings (Portugal by the end of the next Euros could potentially be 2nd in this list)
Bottom 3 get relegated to Asia
