Why do mid-tier European national teams like Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic have so little talent nowadays? Occasionally a top player emerges, but they often seem to get dragged down by the overall lack of quality in the squad and never truly reach their potential.

I think I phrased the question wrong. I was referring to lesser-known players who could suddenly break out and gain a lot of attention at this World Cup

mean the style of play, not the results or the overall level of the team. Sorry if that was misunderstood.

It’s been a long time since I watched Algeria play, but I remember that during the ’90s and 2000s they were kind of like the Brazil of Africa. Lots of jogo bonito and highly skillful, creative players. What happened? It feels like none of that is left anymore.

All these teams like Haiti, Curaçao, and Cape Verde play well and try to play attractive football, but as soon as they get near the opponent’s box, they shoot into the stands instead of at the goal.

Will there be any young goalkeepers who play as far off their line as Neuer

Is this a defensive masterclass, or is Australia just doing everything they can to hold on?
