You'd like to think that a country of around 57 million people, with Football as it's national game, would put away a country of 3.5million, based on the disparity in facilities, investment and talent pool alone...

selection from China and India's finest even if they have a joint population of nearly 3 billion.
It's not as simple as that.

20 years ago I was blocked beyond definition in a pub in Turnpike Lane.
What have I done with my life.
Did you catch Eamonn on RTE last night, classic punditry.

despite their huge numbers of players to choose from.
Bottom line was they'll rule world football when they get a decent grass roots system.Which they've begun :-(

Talent pool and facilities really should produce some type of disparity.
No coincidence that US/Russia/China have totally dominated the olympics for years.

or recently sprinters better than the Jamaicans. Interesting though - it is like New Zealand in rugby - at times they can produce two world beating teams from a population of 4 million and even in football you could argue that someone like the Dutch punch far above their weight. As for Belgium - what is the point
