Are you the Spurs of international football? if I‘m not mistaken Dzeko, one of the very best European CFs of the last 15 years, is going to retire without having played in a Euro…
You get decent draws and you waste them every time… Euro 2020, you managed to lose at home in the penalty shootout after going ahead early… Last night, you were like 5 minute from qualifying for a (relatively) easy final at home and you couldn’t see it through… but good for Ahmedhodzic, serves him right. He should have chosen Sweden.
We just have a corrupt FA which has only had a small period since our independence of actually looking for what's best for the national team, and otherwise a bunch of crooks who take handouts constantly and give appearances to players who don't deserve it just for them getting some side money, which led to a bunch of disgruntled players, others long since abandoning the national team and so on. Dzeko has stayed at a high level, Pjanic basically retired mentally once he left Barca even if he was more than young enough to keep going and took the money in Qatar, and you're left with a group of average players and shit coaches. We had 3 different managers in just the last qualifying campaign ffs
In general we had a lot of bad luck with our early to mid 2010's team, drew Portugal a bunch of times in the qualifying playoffs when we were actually decent, but made the world cup in 2014. Most of the past 6 years we've been a garbage national team though, not deserving of making any competition. Late 2000's and early to mid 2010's I'd say mostly unlucky or bottlers (yeah Spurs).
In terms of Ahmedhodzic, he's didn't even play for a while because he was speaking out against the FA and he was refusing call ups. Just a shit show all around.
