I will never forget Greece's Euro 2004 win. My dad had Greece in his works sweepstake and like everyone else they had no chance winning the Euros. A few shock wins by beating Portugal twice and France and a very good Czech Republic team. They won the Euros and my dad won something. I was only 11 when it happened.Yep, its a joke indeed, so laughable, especially how supporters act all Bertie big bollocks at tournaments.
Slovakia won Euro 72 as part of Czechoslovakia, and most of that team in the final were Slovaks.
It's really annoying all those countries won something when you consider that Croatia haven't. Yugoslavia would have won Euro 92 if it wasn't for the war going on at the time. Such a fantastic attacking team.
The best international team I've ever seen was Spain from 2008-2012. They were literally unstoppable. They had both the best players from Barcelona and Real Madrid and they just clicked with with the controlled possession based tactics with skill and flair.
I would love to see our country win a trophy but it won't happen because our players won't try to play abroad and they love the money too much. Also we can't beat the big teams when it really matters.
