If the quality was so high, then the following outcomes were not possible in Qatar 2022:

1. Australia defeating Danmark (1-0)
2. Japan defeating Germany (2-1)
3. Japan defeating Spain (2-1)
4. Morocco defeating Belgium (2-0)
5. South Korea defeating Portugal (2-1)

On all these instances, European (UEFA) teams were defeated by teams from AFC or CAF. The days of European dominance in football is over. The sooner you realize it, that much better for you. Else you will continue to lose bets on these teams.

I agree that European teams are stagnating while other nations teams are getting better. As an European, I find this good because it will bring us more good games in the World Championships. But if you look at the world champions, other than Brazil and Argentina there is no nation outside Europe that have won the World Cup since Uruguay in 1950. Every nation (including the top European nations) can lose a game or two. But we will see if your words that European dominance is coming to an end will come true.

European soccer has been at the top for a long time as not only there is a very high interest in the game but a lot of money is invested by the owners of the leagues, this may give the impression they are stagnating but when you are at the top there is nowhere to go but down, the rest of the world is catching up as they send their own players to Europe and they play against the very best, but without a strong domestic league it is difficult to see a team other than Argentina or Brazil being able to win a world cup to those European teams.
