Dawg, what is this. RM = serial winners compared to Portugal who are R of 16, group stage, R of 16 in their last 3 WCs :lol:

Out of the last 4 big tournaments, winners are: Germany 2014, Portugal 2016, France 2018, Italy 2021.
Germany is meh currently, Italy is not here.
Only France and Portugal have actual silverware and know how in the last few years.

Plus Brazil and Argentina if you count Copa Americas.

Spain hasn't won since 2012 and a club career of our players is pain on an international level.

So, in that area, mentality wise, France, Portugal, Brazil have some advantage.
And England due to recent domination by EPL teams in a CL.

Spain is mostly Barca.
And Barca lately is a group of players who need psychological help due to repeated CL humiliations for years.

Spains issue is their quality more than their style.

They dont have anywhere near as strong a squad as others.

Portugal doesn't look great at the back at all. If Uruguay could finish, they would have been down by 3..... and they conceded 2 against a poor Ghana team.

And that penalty is a joke decision.
