look breh no disrespect you spewing a bunch of shyt...for those smaller nations you named (bulgaria,denmark,czech) those were never big "teams"... they just happened to have a great generation in those decades (bulgaria 90's, denmark late 80's/early 90's) but were not countries to be known for developing talents or always having talents and the majority of those countries had 2/3 world class players on their teams anyways so stop it
portugal were always shyt besides 66 and then the 90's generation came and they being a top 10 NT since then...France is the same...the NT level now its not as good anymore due to globalization..the small shyt countries now have professionalism and are not amateur anymore like they were in the 80's and before...the gap between the shyt and the top teams is not as big as before because these small nations now are professional and have proper training methods unlike before
club level tell me the teams that had a roster full of talents like Madrid, Barca, Man u and many top teams have now?...u kno that wasnt the case so dont even start..club level is now superior to NT for sure unlike before..the thing is that also the talent was more spread out before too since "money" wasnt big like it is now and many players stayed and played for the same team for years unlike now..
The topic at hand is why people think the 80's and 90's players are better than now. And I never said those smaller nations were big teams. Just comparing the talent from then to now.
Also I mentioned already within the last 24 hours about how clubs/countries have a good generation like every 10-15 years (after thinkin it might be more 15-20 for countries), I'm not goin to repeat myself again, because people have already read it.
Portugal were decent in the 80's before the golden generation.
And I already touched on the squad depth nowdays, a post that you acknowledged earlier.
