What distinguishes successful countries in football for countries that try to win but fail

Brazil Germany Argentina Uruguay Italy Spain France England

? United States of America ? Mexico ? Belgium ? Netherlands ? Portugal ? Greece ? Russia ? Ukraine ? Japan

The winners have:

⇒ great rivalry between their top teams
⇒ a wide variety of breeds
⇒ a social gap between rich and poor that the football welds
⇒ criticism and pressure from the press of the country itself
⇒ aggressive crowd
⇒ players occupying important places in the major clubs on the planet

Players and a style of play because you can have a stacked team like lelguim but if your team is not well coached, the team is going to choke like them

Looking at your list of countries it's obvious. The winners have a title that they can flaunt and be proud of forever

>England
??????????

the president of fifa from 1974 to 1993 literally confirmed that england bought the cup in '66

Maybe not at the moment, but all in all they have been more successful than you guys. Your victory this EC was kinda like Greece's back in 2004.

And the Duce coerced the 1934 WC for Italy, while almost the same thing happened against them back in 1978.

You forget the most important: intense continental rivalries

Th-thank you Germanicbro

It's just about us and our kids being interested in it and football itself being part of our culture

Its true, but i think there are more rich kids who become pro players.

For 50 fucking years.

Not really, Portugal has been going far in tournaments regularly for 15 years.

Also:

>don't create a gazillion threads after winning the trophy like a 12-year-old thinking you are making great banter but ultimately you are desperately looking for acknowledgement and attention on a Taiwanese photography forum

Portugal has equaled or surpased England in every major tournament for the last 50 years.

Except for the ones where they didn't.

Portugal and England last 50 years

Portugal at EC: 3 semis, 2 finals, 1 trophy
England at EC: 2 semis, 0 finals, 0 trophys

Portugal at WC: 2 semis, 0 finals, 0 trophys
England at WC: 2 semis, 1 final, 1 trophy

Turkey literally has as good a record and they barely ever even qualify.

aside from uruguay, winners literally have millions of football players (all levels). they have a huge talent pool and good infrastructure. many of them also attract talent from other countries.
the other countries have good generations from time to time and even then it is not enough.

Surely consistency counts for something. Any team can go on a run in a meme format like tournament football.

>Any team can go on a run in a meme format like tournament football.
Except England. Or Switzerland. Or Belgium.

2bh famille if England's FA didnt boycott the 3 first WC they'd likely won at least 1

>countries that try to win but fail
>United States of America ? Mexico ? Belgium ? Netherlands ? Portugal ? Greece ? Russia ? Ukraine ? Japan

How many of these have really tried to win? Seriously, how many of these have officially announced that their goal is to win the World Cup?

They try to get as far as the RO16 or whatever, anything beyond that is a bonus.

No winning mentality = no World Cup.

Yep, Ronaldo was right about Iceland.

England goes full "IT'S COMING HOME LADS" every 4 years and that didn't make them win shit in the last 50 years.

Sup Forums shitposters =/= predominant opinion in England

you need to stop believing retards on Sup Forums and brit rags. its all memes and doesnt represent the majority of their fans.

england fans are terribly pessimistic cunts. they believe their team can do OK, as they should considering the talent they pretty much always have. but no one is claiming they can win the euro never mind the world cup. a large chunk of england fans have never seen their team win a knockout game at a finals tournament. they've missed a euro qualification. at this point they'd settle for a non-humiliating post group stage exit. there is no reason for them to have a lot of hope.

It does represent their retarded media though.

sorta true. there was a great article about that, someone linked it on here after england-iceland. cant find it though.

>england

sport fans are pretty delusional.

>Uruguay
