Did anyone else realise that Euro 2004 was the pinnacle of football player quality and then the same players all just kept playing until now? 2004 was the peak of football.

Apart from Germany, all countries bbecame shit.

Disagree

What about Costa Rica, Chile, Uruguay, Wales, Northen Ireland, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, Switzerland etc? They are all better? International football was never better then its now and it will only be better

Yeah it was my favorite modern Competiton, the only bad thing was that Greece won. For me Deco was the player of the tournament scored some real blooters lol

>it's another "things were better when i was an adolescent" episode

even now they are still meme teams

i mean good teams

Some smaller nations are better sure, but every single top nation except Germany and Spain has massively declined in player quality since the last generation

>It's a "the top nations when I was a kid always were and always will be top nations" episode

Euro 2000 > Euro 2004

>they are all dead aside from the parts of LCIM that aren't his hair
;_;

>2004 was the peak of football.

Oi senpai, did you hear of this argentinian lad called messi?
Also, I'm pretty sure MSN at their peak would wipe the floor with most Champions League winning sides

MSN at its peak was a mediocre messenger at best

>german humour

>International football was never better then its now
It was better when national teams were national teams. """European""" national teams are a joke.

Good post Heinz

the joke truly is on you, for I was merely feigning ignorance

*tips fedora*

>it's a 'my national team is complete shit so I don't like international football anymore' episode

OP isn't Spanish or Dutch m8

good game against Chile, Wes

>England are literally about to bring it home
>OP is being a little bitch

Pakis out desu

>one

>unironically believing it isn't coming home

There is nothing I can do for you

them summer days watching based tournaments like 04 and 06

You're right that former favourites like Italy and Brazil have declined

But then other teams like Germany and Argentina have become much better

It's swings and roundabouts nigga
