No one is catching up lol. Morocco's fairy tale ends vs Portugal or France. Luck can only take you so far.
I'm disgusted because countries such as Germany, Spain, Belgium and etc... Are worldwide known and established football nations who were ballin for years and such fuck ups should not take place.
Every once in while in an international competition, you have big teams failing and smaller nations that do miracles. It's nothing new.
If anything this WC is one of the few ones where you almost see only big football nations in the QF.
Spain didn't have the players to further than what they did, too young in the middelfield and nobody to finish their actions.
Greece won Euro 2004, Denmark won Euro 1992, in 2014 you had Costa Rica and Colombia in QF in the WC, you had Senegal in 2002, Ghana in 2006.
