Meh to the Euro championships, yeah arguably the quality of football is higher, but without Brazil (yay) and the Argies (boo in a Pantomime way), they just ain't the same. Also the minnows often add massivelys to the spectacle, and make the sublime moments.

World Cup has the meaning too, and so far no joke winners. Greece, Denmark in recent times, and back in the history I don't think the best teams in Europe have always won. Not that they do in the World Cup, but at least the winners have pedigree.
