The world cup has been **** since 2002. Well, 1990 and 1994 were kind of ****ty as well. The one in 1998 is the best World Cup I have seen.
Look at the Holland group, man. Its like 3 former EC winners plus usual outsiders Portugal. Thats much better than seeing Algeria playing against Costa Rica or something. The group with France, England, Sweden and Ukraine should be tough as well. And then there is Spain and ****ty but always dangerous Italy.
But its not only the level of play and matchups, but also the referees. The Euros are generally much better tournaments, with better refs and less dubious incidents. I can't remember a screwjob such as Germany v England in 2010 on the Euros. It just shows the pile of **** the FIFA is.
