I think Euro is harder because there are more high-level teams that can challenge for the title. On average, the level of the teams that make it past the group stage is higher (in my opinion).
What do you guys think?
Keep it civil please :)
Very biased but Copa America. As you have lots of pretty strong teams like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and I guess Colombia along with decent teams like Chile, Peru and Ecuador. So it’s pretty hard for say a country like Venezuela to win a Copa America. But I guess the Euro is equally as hard.
Obviously the Euros is way harder.
Since Germany in 86 Argentina didn’t manage to win over a top European team in WC in 90 minutes. 1 if u count Croatia.
In the last WC even with the help of the refs they didn’t manage to win over France and The Netherlands.
So here is your answer. Only Brazil could have won a Euro.
Euro is harder to win, not only than Copa but also than the World cup.
Euro has:
England
Spain
Italy
Croatia
Netherlands
Portugal
France
Germany
Belgium
Croatia
Copa america has:
Brazil
Argentina
Chile
Uruguay
Not close.
Not to mention for a while they held copa america every other year. So there are way more opportunities.
Honestly copa america is easier than the nations league.
very few countries care about the nation league though,it’s a glorified friendlies,while players played their heart out in Copa
Lol euro
Clearly Euro, there are only 10 teams in S.America so there isn’t a qualification. The schedule of the tournament made it less prestigious. Between 2011-2021, there were 5 Copa America btw
Real question?
Euro is harder to win, not only than Copa but also than the World cup.
Euro by far and its way more prestige compared to the Copa America.
The Euro is basically a mini World Cup. The CA is great and all but no qualifying aspect means that the same teams get to play each tournament. The Euros are far more competitive.
Euros harder to win than World Cup
South America teams won 3 of the last 8 WC, even though there is 3x more UEFA teams in the WC
Usually Euro is harder. There was a period around 2014-16 where you could argue that Copa America was just as competitive (if not more competitive). Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil could all genuinely compete with the best of Europe at that time. Uruguay still had Suarez, Cavani in their primes too so they were also dangerous.
I also feel like Europe were particularly weaker in that time (besides Germany, Belgium and France). Spain in decline after golden generation, England transitioning to younger generation, Italy kinda in shambles, Portugal was just Ronaldo and Friends, Netherlands weren’t really anything special either.
WC 2014 showed this as well. South Americans basically knocked eachother out and Germany did the rest.
The Euro. Some say it’s harder than the World Cup?
I find it amusing that people here never watched copa America. That shit is like war. Can’t compare with the comfortable euro.
