ITT: Mediocre squads that overperformed

ITT: Mediocre squads that overperformed

I'll start with an easy one

>Mediocre
Wrong. This was a good squad. Even got to the last 8 of the CL the next year without their original manager.

>an easy one
i think you missed the easiest one

Argentina 2014
Portugal 2016
England 2018...?

Poortugal 2016, they were worse than greece 2004.

...

>mediocre
Let me tell you something: Kante, Drinky, all the boys were putting it on the next level and it showed in the league table.

>Leicester fans believe this
And I thought our education system was fucked.....

Wolves 17-18

Germany 2002 comes instantly to mind

>mediocre
it was cheap, but two of them went to chelsea for around 70m and even more valuable players are still there

>the premier league is tough
Lmao. Leicester played their strategy perfectly, the team had great chemistry and the players were all having a great season.
>somepeople actually think leicester was a fluke
They were easily the best team in the league that season.

They didn't perform though. It was the most refball title in history.

...

Yeah, a dogshit team from the Midlands refballed their way past Shitty, United, Chelsea etc. Sure thing bud.

and people think he didn't buy off refs lol

>team counterattacking with meme pace gets penalties
wew shocking developments

>good squad

Are we talking about same squad that almost got relegated previous season and was destined to be relegated next season?

>me plumber on far left

This is why Fergie was the best. Name another manager who could win the prem comfortably with players like Anderson, Cleverley, Smallìng and the shitty hue twins. The man knew how to get the most out of shitty players.

true GOATs each and every one.

...

>miracle to make semi finals
>ended spain's unbeaten run
>nearly beat brazil in the final
>knocked out by ghana a year later

The reason fergie was the best? He won a trophy in europe with a scottish team from outside glasgow

Dumb stupid nigger, they won the league by like 10 points ahead of 2nd place.

Neuville looks like one of those retarded wojaks.

Do you really over-perform if its 3 times in 5 years?

These are pretty good answers

Yes.

>winning 2 by a combined W/L ratio of 8-1
>bumgarner GOATs it up in 2014
>fluke

Bumblasted doyers fan detected

Buffon, Materazzi, Gilardino, Grosso, Totti, Gatusso, Pirlo, Camoranesi, Cannavaro, Zambrotta and someone.
Also Del Piero, Nesta, Iaquinta, De Rossi etc.

>mediocre squad

kys desu senpai

Great squad that played like shit and somehow scraped together the cup win?

...

...

That 2005 Liverpool squad that won the champions league. Fucking Vladimir Smicer, Djimi Traore, Milan Baros, lads!

How did we get through world cup qualifying?

what the fuck, this thread is still alive?

Smicer and Baros were good though

1-11 are there. That's neat.

Non Euro flags should be banned from posting about Football desu

You do realise that outside of tournaments England will just give 1-11 to their starting lineup on the day right

Sup Forums rates maybe one of those players
