Comments on: Is it easier to win the Euro or the World Cup? http://soccerlens.com/7992/7992/ Soccerlens - Football News You Can Trust Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:26:47 -0800 http://soccerlens.com/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: João http://soccerlens.com/7992/7992/comment-page-1/#comment-93994 João Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:16:07 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/7992/7992/#comment-93994 i really thing you should separate the competitions, not in two, but in three different ones. 1) European Championship 2) World Cup (in Europe) 3) World Cup (not in Europe) it's not a coincidence that there has never been a Wold Cup winner coming from Europe when the event takes place either in America (North or South) or Asia. So being, it's not only a matter of different types of football being played, but also a matter of different enviroments. THE HARDEST - winning a World Cup held in South America/North America/Africa/Asia - it has never been done THE SECOND HARDEST - i really think that winning a European Championship and a World Cup (held in Europe), is equaly as hard. I really can't decide if one is harder than the other. why the Euro might be harder: - there's a higher percentage of good teams than in the world cup. why the WC (held in Europe) might be harder: - you have to adapt to playing againts non-european styles of playing i really thing you should separate the competitions, not in two, but in three different ones.
1) European Championship
2) World Cup (in Europe)
3) World Cup (not in Europe)

THE SECOND HARDEST – i really think that winning a European Championship and a World Cup (held in Europe), is equaly as hard. I really can’t decide if one is harder than the other.

why the Euro might be harder:
- there’s a higher percentage of good teams than in the world cup.

why the WC (held in Europe) might be harder:
- you have to adapt to playing againts non-european styles of playing

2006 – Italy
2002 – Brazil
1998 – France
1994 – Brazil

Brazil == Europe :-D

Seriously speaking, in my opinion -
Quality wise – EURO
Passion level – World Cup
