Let's see if any of the major European teams can make a similiar run through Euro 2008. And I wonder what major Euro powers you are talking about. The Italians..who needed a bogus penalty call to beat Australia; the French...who tied both Switzerland and South Korea in the last WC; the English who could only beat Paraguay 1-0 on an own goal and Trinidad and Tobago by 2 late goals and beat Ecuador 1-0 in the round of 16?
The gap in talent internationally is narrowing very quickly. Let's not be too quick dismissing these South American teams.
