“The Euro Cup is very important but it leaves out Argentina, three time world champion. Brazil, five time world champion. Uruguay, two time world champions.
“There are many World champions left out to say that the Euro Cup is the most difficult, right?
“In the World Cup, the best teams are there, all the World champions are generally there. That’s why everyone wants to be World champion.”
