| It is without any doubt whatsoever that it is tougher to qualify through UEFA than any other division. Even most of the weaker teams in UEFA are good teams. So yes Bart, you are right.
However, it is also an advantage to be in UEFA that you should become more competive as you have since you are playuing such good teams, that does not solve the problem of not qualifying.
This is the big reason, that in many ways, the EURO is a higher quality tournament than the World Cup. Of course the down side to that is teams like Brazil and Argentina are not present, that makes it lower in some respects. |
