>>149781412>The likes of Leicester winning the league after others shit the bed is far more impressive then say Greece winning the EurosIt's impressive for Lecister because they had to be consistently good (While Tottenham had to be consistently shit to finish third in a two horse race.) throughout the season without collapsing like Arsenal does, I do agree. However there is equal value in Greece winning the tournament out of nowhere as well. Or upsets occurring in a tournament style competition.
Of course no CONCACAF (until >WE start to care ofc), AFC, AFCON or OFC team will win the WC but there is always the chance that they can beat big teams in the group stage and even knockout stage. Like Costa Rica winning their group in 2014. They were the 'ugly duck' of their group but beat Urgay, Italy and got a clean draw out of England. And then beat a UEFA team after that and took the Netherlands to Pens in the QF's. You wouldn't see much of that, which is cool to see, in a 'league phase' World Cup. Cup competitions reward some consistency as well, not like it doesn't. But some luck (or in Club Competitions, Ref ball in favor of Real Madrid) is involved.
>still better than say some Africa country or Iran or even Israel (because contrarian fags will do it) winning and anons saying "kino"This is true.
That Suarez Handball against Ghana was pure SOVL and Kino, mentally breaking them and knocking out Africa's last representative in their own World Cup.
