In my opinion the second list is more accurate. Of course, I also disagree with such a low assessment of Croatia and I think that Croatia, Denmark and the Netherlands should be quoted equally. Otherwise, everything is more or less fair, especially given the randomness of what is happening in the playoffs.
LOL.. Croatia is far ahead of the other two. When was the last time that Danmark performed well in a major international tournament? The same goes for Netherlands as well. These two are dying teams within the UEFA confederation. Danmark failed to win even a single match during FIFA World Cup of 2022. They lost to Australia and France, and then were held by Tunisia for a goalless draw. Netherlands somehow managed to get to the round of 16, partly due to their karate and MMA skills on field. But in the quarter-finals, they got destroyed by Argentina.
Well I can't deny that Denmark always gives a lot to talk about, the teams that are from these countries have a very peculiar fútbol, but it's like you say, we can talk a lot about football, but until they beat Argentina, France, Brazil I think that the countries continue to have a football that is sorely lacking, I say these countries because I know that Croatia is capable of winning and it has, for a reason they got so far in Qatar, Croatian fútbol is also very good, main demonstration , your captain Luka Modric, one of the best fútbol players in the world, winner of the Golden Ball, is something impressive.
