@@KuldeepSingh-ek2si They said that before the Euro's became a tournament where you can finish 3rd in your group and still potentially qualify. Also, CR said the world cup is harder.
I am a Ramsdale fan. Mr Hislop is not wrong on Rambo as his 3rd choice. He is 3rd because he was on the bench and not playing for his club. In the current situation if he is not playing for his club, he should be :rd choice. Example: Maguire with England. If he is not playing for MU, he should not be playing for England. I do remember that Mr Burley and Mr Nicol said this.
This is the most outrageous question i have ever heard. My opinion is that this stems from the Ronaldo/Messi Debate since so many people love to state that Ronaldo should be that Goat. I am going to explain VERY SIMPLY why the World Cup is harder without A DOUBT! Euro Winners that are not considered WORLD CHAMPIONS.....- Denmark, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, (Netherlands, Portugal) Last 2 being the best of that group. Reason # 1 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS - 8 TEAMS! Argentina Brazil France Germany Italy Spain England Uruguay Reason #2 Brazil is considered the BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL HISTORY! With Players like PELE, (Goat), Ronaldinho, R9, Neymar, Rivaldo, Garincha, list is ENDLESS. Argentina with MESSI, Maradona (2 MORE GOATS), Crespo, Batistuta, Tevez, Aguero, Alvarez, Di Maria, List goes ON! Lets not even discuss Uruguay, who have had players like Forlan, Suarez, Cavani, Valverde, and many more. Dont forget Forlan was tied for most goals for the 2010 WC and James Rodriguez who is from Colombia btw had the most goals for the 2014 WC. This is like saying Lets host the Basketball World Championship and NOT Include USA. Thats the same thing as NOT including Brazil. Reason #3 (The 4 GOATS of the Sport) (Messi, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldo). But Yes the EURO IS WAY HARDER THEN THE WC when the best players in HISTORY DONT EVEN PLAY IN THE EURO!!!

Italy euro 2020 opponents ranking- Turkey (29), Switzerland (13), Wales (17), Austria (23), Belgium (1), Spain (6), England (4) - average ranking = 13.3 Argentina 2022 WC Campaign - Saudi (51), Poland (26), Mexico (13) , Australia (38), Netherlands (8), Croatia (12) , France (4) - average ranking = 21.7 (Not taking credit for this)
Yeah it's not even close. In this Euro 2024 there are 4 matches between top 10 ranked nations in the group stages alone. There are no such matches in the group stages of the Copa and there was only 1 match at the WC 2022 (Croatia vs Belgium). The hype with Argentina and Brazil is real - they get so many ranking points playing against worse teams on average than the UEFA nations.
Morocco eliminated Spain and Portugal, Argentina eliminated Netherlands and France.Italy didnt make it to World Cup and Germany eliminated in group stage.This is the example.Crazy to compare Euro to World Cup.wth
Funny how idiots reason by anecdotes and genuinely believe they have made a point. OK let me try your dumb take using the previous World Cup: France beat Argentina and Uruguay in the KO stage while Belgium knocked Brazil out. This must prove that Brazil and Argentina are weaker than Euro teams. Pretty low IQ reasonning.
Morocco had a lucky run. Their style was destructive and defensive. It will never happen again...like Turkey and South Corea will never happen again in the WC-semis.
@@andrekoerber7334 I don't know about never but clearly this does not happen often. If I'm not mistaken, only 3 non European/South American teams ever made the semis. So on average it's once every 30 years.
France drew with a terrible Canada team, where are the millions of comments saying France are an overrated mediocre team? Because you know if England had drew with Canada there would be millions of comments about how overhyped England are.
Terrible? This is probably the best Canada team in history. Also, this is a friendly, these games are used as experiments to see what works snd what doesn't. Players don't try too hard because you can't risk getting injured before the euros. Warm up games aren't competitive games. It's very unlikely France would leave Mbappe on the bench in a competitive game.
Shaka totally correct on Ramsdale plus Ramsdale hiding in the shadows all season, any self respecting professional soccer player would have demanded an immediate transfer
lets be honest if the euros included brazil argentina , that would by far be the best tournament, uruguay real candidate to. Also many people saying 'italy didnt qualify' blah blah blah, but thats the point, if italy didnt qualify it shows the diffcult of the european qualification process. You cant be saying the teams like saudi and iran are better than italy, even when italy dont play well.
Love that from Craig. It irritated me so much when Shaka kept talking about Ramsdale/Raya early on. He's right about the selection, but he needs that bashing from Craig still
Portugal lost to Iceland then drew with 2 trash teams , finished 3rd in group stage still went on to win Euros 2016 by pure luck lol World Cup is way tougher .. Penaldo fans holding on to stupid arguments lmao
Media always works for penaldo, they are trying to downplay World Cup once Messi won it but when he didn’t win it they all said it was the biggest and hardest trophy to win
1. Compare the rank of "worst" national team in world cup and of euros. 2. In euro you dont have a easy run, even in the group stage any team can beat you, because these is no bad ranked team . Whereas in world cup you have reserves spot for asian and african teams and we know how good is their rank. 3. Don't tell me " south korea beat spain and germany" i am talking about the overall competition, do you think any other asian team could beat the european giants. Whereas in the euros even the lowest ranked team(s) can create upset(s). 4. Italy and netherlands could not qualify for 2018 world cup, because they had to compete against the european teams to qualify, which are very tough to compete against. Only if netherland and italy had to qualify against the african and asian teams, they would have surely played the 2018 world cup. 5. You would say "qualifying for the world cup is tough''. For those how compete against top dogs to qualify not for those like Qatar how got a spot just because they hosted the world cup.
@@abhayangaria4766Very bad argument. First you talk about upsets and then say not to include south korea or japan🤣🤣. Even without considering those Morocco knocked two European powerhouses. And don't say the grp stage is hard when a team can qualify without winning a single game.
Lol Europe has a losing record vs S.America (-11 games), do they think it's easier to win wars with the USA since we own them in war and always beat them? 😂😅🤣
If you want a smooth and hassle free transition through Toronto Pearson, you should consider not carrying any check-in baggage at all. It's bonkers. I doubt that the airline had much to do with Burley's golf clubs being in the limbo
There was a time that the Euro was more difficult to win. That was like 10 years ago. The latter stages is packed with elite teams.Therefore every round starting the round of 16 is a very difficult fixture unlike in the WC. That us where this question comes from.
i dont understand the logic for the euros being harder than the world cup? the most important games happen in the quarterfinals and on anyway. if Europe is so good, then all 8 spots should go to European nations in the world cup anyway right? So you would just have the euros quarterfinals taking place in the world cup. and if European nations aren't good enough, then you have the best of other regions taking spots in the final 8, which means that the nations in the final 8 at that point are at a higher level than the euros quarterfinals. it just doesn't make sense because it's not like the world cup only allows 4 European nations to participate or something and European nations ranked 5 to 16 are just better than every other nation in the world.
It's funny how these thing work. Mbappe dissed South American football then he goes and loses to a South American country in the world cup final. He will probably lose the golden ball to a South American player in Vinicius Jr.
I don`t think so....neither Mbappe nor Vinicius deserve the Balon D`Or. Before the 2022 WC Neymar wore the brazilian Shirt with 6 stars on it...and then the chickens said good bye in the quarter finals.
Any team in the euros can win it the overall quality of Teams is better then the World Cup. I’m Australian and the teams we need to play to get into the World Cup is a joke
Ya'll beat Denmark and you are saying any team from the Euros can win the World Cup? I guess by that logic Georgia and Albania can win the World cup lol.
Shaka is right. You don't need to play the game of football the way the best teams play it. Modern football doesn't win all the trophies in the world. In fact Modern football - possession / high press / geggenpressing - has a quite awful record relatively speaking of winning in CUP COMPETITIONS. It only dominates in leagues where week in week out you play inferior opposition who can't spend like you do. Real Madrid who have won the last 100 UCL finals have done so defending deep and hitting on the counter. France did the same at the 2018 World Cup. Argentina did no, but they had a player called Messi playing for them. Defensive, counter attacking football is perfectly fine for most teams to play. The US have this false idea about becoming a world power of football, but the reality is that they have about 4 - 5 other sports that get all their best athletes first. It will never happen. Forget about it. Accept who you are and play in a way that ensures you are in the game and might even win. Possession football isn't that.
I don't know. One thing I know is I like watching Euro, much more than watching Copa America. Watching WC for is just like watching Euro while adding Brazil and Argentina as guests, that's all.
Just look at the fact that Brasil and Argentine managed to win several world cups but could never win the euros.. and then think again about the question !
Euro used to be more difficult to win when there were only 16 teams and u simply had no easy draw, while at world cups you mostly have 4-5 games of time to get into rhythm
Greece won it when it was 16 teams. And even when there where fewer 8 teams Denmark won the Euros after being on holiday after yugoslavia was kicked out. Whilst no weak country's have won the world cup
1. The world cup is way more prestigious. 2. Euro winners are less predictable. 3. Which is more difficult to win? That's subjective and based on your personal opinions.
Definitely WC is mote harder than European championships....Rem we have Brazil n Argentina for South America teams...plus nowadays Asia n Africa teams r no longer pushover...rem how Japan defeat Spain n German, n Morocco all e way to semi-final....maybe some Central America teams r weaker...but overall WC is harder to win
Its so ironic that we as fans say the world cup is harder but the players say Europe is harder. So you have to go with the people who play both and gave their experiences
@@SLSAMG penaldo said World Cup is biggest trophy and he stated facts that’s why he has never scored a goal in KO stages even though he played in 5 world cups

It's a pretty obvious reply regarding the comparison between the World cup and European championship. Before it's expansion, it was the European championship, of course. Brazil and Argentina are true greats of football but there's a lot of dross to make up for on the World scene.
Both r easy if u have referee on your side as did messi and argentina with daniele orsatto...spanish quarterfinal referee and final referee from poland who gave free penalties for argentina..this time perhaps they can give free penalties for england 🎉🎉

Why you bringing up Ronaldo you clown, Ronaldo has nothing to do with this....Mbappe is what started this stupid debate...and they are twisting what he said
He was crying at the last one.

Don't think xavi nd Zidane are Ronaldo fanboys
@@KuldeepSingh-ek2si They said that before the Euro's became a tournament where you can finish 3rd in your group and still potentially qualify. Also, CR said the world cup is harder.
I am a Ramsdale fan. Mr Hislop is not wrong on Rambo as his 3rd choice. He is 3rd because he was on the bench and not playing for his club. In the current situation if he is not playing for his club, he should be :rd choice. Example: Maguire with England. If he is not playing for MU, he should not be playing for England. I do remember that Mr Burley and Mr Nicol said this.
This is the most outrageous question i have ever heard. My opinion is that this stems from the Ronaldo/Messi Debate since so many people love to state that Ronaldo should be that Goat. I am going to explain VERY SIMPLY why the World Cup is harder without A DOUBT!
Euro Winners that are not considered WORLD CHAMPIONS.....- Denmark, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, (Netherlands, Portugal) Last 2 being the best of that group.
Reason # 1
WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS - 8 TEAMS!
Argentina
Brazil
France
Germany
Italy
Spain
England
Uruguay
Reason #2
Brazil is considered the BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL HISTORY! With Players like PELE, (Goat), Ronaldinho, R9, Neymar, Rivaldo, Garincha, list is ENDLESS.
Argentina with MESSI, Maradona (2 MORE GOATS), Crespo, Batistuta, Tevez, Aguero, Alvarez, Di Maria, List goes ON!
Lets not even discuss Uruguay, who have had players like Forlan, Suarez, Cavani, Valverde, and many more. Dont forget Forlan was tied for most goals for the 2010 WC and James Rodriguez who is from Colombia btw had the most goals for the 2014 WC.
This is like saying Lets host the Basketball World Championship and NOT Include USA. Thats the same thing as NOT including Brazil.
Reason #3 (The 4 GOATS of the Sport) (Messi, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldo).
But Yes the EURO IS WAY HARDER THEN THE WC when the best players in HISTORY DONT EVEN PLAY IN THE EURO!!!
People need to use more co-related arguments. Europe Have The Bigger events than south America. South America have always had and still have the best talents and talents is what I know win trophies.. better yet Uruguay is the first country to even won the world cup. 😂

Is this a serious question?
Italy euro 2020 opponents ranking- Turkey (29), Switzerland (13), Wales (17), Austria (23), Belgium (1), Spain (6), England (4) - average ranking = 13.3
Argentina 2022 WC Campaign - Saudi (51), Poland (26), Mexico (13) , Australia (38), Netherlands (8), Croatia (12) , France (4) - average ranking = 21.7
(Not taking credit for this)
Yeah it's not even close. In this Euro 2024 there are 4 matches between top 10 ranked nations in the group stages alone.
There are no such matches in the group stages of the Copa and there was only 1 match at the WC 2022 (Croatia vs Belgium).
The hype with Argentina and Brazil is real - they get so many ranking points playing against worse teams on average than the UEFA nations.
Morocco eliminated Spain and Portugal, Argentina eliminated Netherlands and France.Italy didnt make it to World Cup and Germany eliminated in group stage.This is the example.Crazy to compare Euro to World Cup.wth
😂
Tell them
Funny how idiots reason by anecdotes and genuinely believe they have made a point.
OK let me try your dumb take using the previous World Cup:
France beat Argentina and Uruguay in the KO stage while Belgium knocked Brazil out. This must prove that Brazil and Argentina are weaker than Euro teams.
Pretty low IQ reasonning.
Morocco had a lucky run. Their style was destructive and defensive. It will never happen again...like Turkey and South Corea will never happen again in the WC-semis.
@@andrekoerber7334
I don't know about never but clearly this does not happen often. If I'm not mistaken, only 3 non European/South American teams ever made the semis. So on average it's once every 30 years.
@@andrekoerber7334Only lucky when non-european teams do this
France drew with a terrible Canada team, where are the millions of comments saying France are an overrated mediocre team? Because you know if England had drew with Canada there would be millions of comments about how overhyped England are.
Terrible? This is probably the best Canada team in history. Also, this is a friendly, these games are used as experiments to see what works snd what doesn't. Players don't try too hard because you can't risk getting injured before the euros. Warm up games aren't competitive games. It's very unlikely France would leave Mbappe on the bench in a competitive game.
@@BlunderCityso England's defeat to Iceland is irrelevant then

Shaka totally correct on Ramsdale plus Ramsdale hiding in the shadows all season, any self respecting professional soccer player would have demanded an immediate transfer
I have a feeling Ronaldo paid mbappe to say this 😂
Good joke😂😂😂
It is called the " world cup" for a reason.What a stupid question
Nonsense 😤 The world cup is more difficult than the so-called hype euro cup
lets be honest if the euros included brazil argentina , that would by far be the best tournament, uruguay real candidate to. Also many people saying 'italy didnt qualify' blah blah blah, but thats the point, if italy didnt qualify it shows the diffcult of the european qualification process. You cant be saying the teams like saudi and iran are better than italy, even when italy dont play well.
Italy literally lost to North Mecadonia.
That's what Europeans call hard?😂😂
Love that from Craig. It irritated me so much when Shaka kept talking about Ramsdale/Raya early on.
He's right about the selection, but he needs that bashing from Craig still
Portugal lost to Iceland then drew with 2 trash teams , finished 3rd in group stage still went on to win Euros 2016 by pure luck lol World Cup is way tougher .. Penaldo fans holding on to stupid arguments lmao

@@Peacher_man Yeah run along and support your local cricket club mate.
Are you guys serious? A lot of European teams wouldn't even make the world cup if they had to qualify in Conmebol
1. Compare the rank of "worst" national team in world cup and of euros.
2. In euro you dont have a easy run, even in the group stage any team can beat you, because these is no bad ranked team . Whereas in world cup you have reserves spot for asian and african teams and we know how good is their rank.
3. Don't tell me " south korea beat spain and germany" i am talking about the overall competition, do you think any other asian team could beat the european giants.
Whereas in the euros even the lowest ranked team(s) can create upset(s).
4. Italy and netherlands could not qualify for 2018 world cup, because they had to compete against the european teams to qualify, which are very tough to compete against.
Only if netherland and italy had to qualify against the african and asian teams, they would have surely played the 2018 world cup.
5. You would say "qualifying for the world cup is tough''.
For those how compete against top dogs to qualify not for those like Qatar how got a spot just because they hosted the world cup.
@@abhayangaria4766Very bad argument.
First you talk about upsets and then say not to include south korea or japan🤣🤣.
Even without considering those Morocco knocked two European powerhouses.
And don't say the grp stage is hard when a team can qualify without winning a single game.
France couldn't even beat Canada 🤣🤣🤣
euro is way more competitive than world cup, apart from brazil and argentina.
It won't make any difference to engerland,the haven't won anything since dodgy 66"
Lol Europe has a losing record vs S.America (-11 games), do they think it's easier to win wars with the USA since we own them in war and always beat them? 😂😅🤣
by the time the world cup arrives italy will be ready their youths are super their tactics history shows are unbeatable
European teams have only won half of the world cup tournaments and it mostly comes down to two teams (Germany and Italy).
If you want a smooth and hassle free transition through Toronto Pearson, you should consider not carrying any check-in baggage at all. It's bonkers. I doubt that the airline had much to do with Burley's golf clubs being in the limbo
There was a time that the Euro was more difficult to win. That was like 10 years ago.
The latter stages is packed with elite teams.Therefore every round starting the round of 16 is a very difficult fixture unlike in the WC.
That us where this question comes from.
How that dwanzy called southgate is in charge of the English national team is incomprehensible!
Imo this is the third most talented US cycle behind 1999-2002 and 2011-2014
i dont understand the logic for the euros being harder than the world cup? the most important games happen in the quarterfinals and on anyway. if Europe is so good, then all 8 spots should go to European nations in the world cup anyway right? So you would just have the euros quarterfinals taking place in the world cup. and if European nations aren't good enough, then you have the best of other regions taking spots in the final 8, which means that the nations in the final 8 at that point are at a higher level than the euros quarterfinals. it just doesn't make sense because it's not like the world cup only allows 4 European nations to participate or something and European nations ranked 5 to 16 are just better than every other nation in the world.
It's funny how these thing work. Mbappe dissed South American football then he goes and loses to a South American country in the world cup final. He will probably lose the golden ball to a South American player in Vinicius Jr.
@CR-91637 He made a point, but he didn't state a fact. The results prove it.
I don`t think so....neither Mbappe nor Vinicius deserve the Balon D`Or.
Before the 2022 WC Neymar wore the brazilian Shirt with 6 stars on it...and then the chickens said good bye in the quarter finals.
Gareth Southgate would be a disaster at United.
We need Craig to star in a planes trains and automobiles remake lol
THE WORLD CUP DEFINITELY.😤.
Any team in the euros can win it the overall quality of Teams is better then the World Cup.
I’m Australian and the teams we need to play to get into the World Cup is a joke
Ya'll beat Denmark and you are saying any team from the Euros can win the World Cup? I guess by that logic Georgia and Albania can win the World cup lol.
Shaka is right. You don't need to play the game of football the way the best teams play it. Modern football doesn't win all the trophies in the world. In fact Modern football - possession / high press / geggenpressing - has a quite awful record relatively speaking of winning in CUP COMPETITIONS. It only dominates in leagues where week in week out you play inferior opposition who can't spend like you do. Real Madrid who have won the last 100 UCL finals have done so defending deep and hitting on the counter. France did the same at the 2018 World Cup. Argentina did no, but they had a player called Messi playing for them. Defensive, counter attacking football is perfectly fine for most teams to play. The US have this false idea about becoming a world power of football, but the reality is that they have about 4 - 5 other sports that get all their best athletes first. It will never happen. Forget about it. Accept who you are and play in a way that ensures you are in the game and might even win. Possession football isn't that.
Wrong analysis....
best goalie in euros.. surprised no one mentioned Courtios
Mbappe indirectly trolling Pele for wining 3 worldcups despite he has won 1 because of his best team sqaud😂
I don't know. One thing I know is I like watching Euro, much more than watching Copa America. Watching WC for is just like watching Euro while adding Brazil and Argentina as guests, that's all.
Guess who's back?? Back again?? Craig Burley is back, back again! 😂👍

Just look at the fact that Brasil and Argentine managed to win several world cups but could never win the euros.. and then think again about the question !
Shaka vs Craig beef for a debate about backup GKs 🍿
1. Ortega
2. Kelleher
3. Bumsdale
Just say you dont watch football buddy, its ok 😂
Euro used to be more difficult to win when there were only 16 teams and u simply had no easy draw, while at world cups you mostly have 4-5 games of time to get into rhythm
You can come third in your group at the euros and still go through. Portugal didn’t win a single game in the group stage at 2016 and went on to win it
Greece won it when it was 16 teams. And even when there where fewer 8 teams Denmark won the Euros after being on holiday after yugoslavia was kicked out. Whilst no weak country's have won the world cup
1. The world cup is way more prestigious. 2. Euro winners are less predictable. 3. Which is more difficult to win? That's subjective and based on your personal opinions.
There's an objective reality here. Your Personal opinion doesn’t alter the reality.
World Cup because you face opponents of different continent.
Definitely WC is mote harder than European championships....Rem we have Brazil n Argentina for South America teams...plus nowadays Asia n Africa teams r no longer pushover...rem how Japan defeat Spain n German, n Morocco all e way to semi-final....maybe some Central America teams r weaker...but overall WC is harder to win
World Cup way harder
Wc of course

It's a pretty obvious reply regarding the comparison between the World cup and European championship. Before it's expansion, it was the European championship, of course. Brazil and Argentina are true greats of football but there's a lot of dross to make up for on the World scene.
What would it take to finally boot Southgate?... Well, without Southgate, the WC should be easier than the Euros.
Both r easy if u have referee on your side as did messi and argentina with daniele orsatto...spanish quarterfinal referee and final referee from poland who gave free penalties for argentina..this time perhaps they can give free penalties for england 🎉🎉
