Guess I should have clarified that to younger still developing Hazard and KDB or similar. They very much want them to go off to great youth academies like Ajax.

This is definitely Chile's golden age. They fielded some really competitive teams with Zamorano and Salas back in the late 90's though and had a good team in the 60's. I remember watching the U-20 World Cup in Canada back in 2007 and thinking this was the team that would finally win a major tournament in the future.

This is my 2010 World Cup preview for Chile from back in the day.

2002-2005 was the golden era for the USMNT with Donovan, Bocanegra, Cherundolo, Pope, Beasley, Reyna, McBride and Mathis.

Costa Rica maybe

Poland I don't know how good that team was in the 60s that went the WC semis I think (they were talking about it today during the broadcast)

What about Ivory Coast from WC 2014? Aging but still effective Drogba, Toure coming off a great club year, Kalou, Aurier, Gervinho.... Still couldn't get out of the group and lost to Greece

I'm sure they have good talent coming through but that team could have possibly done some damage in the knockouts.

Also, Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the middle of its golden generation. Even though the country is newish in its current state, that particular area hasn't seen an explosion of talent like this before


Edin Dzeko has turned into total shite. That certainly doesn't help Bosnia.

Czech Republic in the mid 00s, shame they didn't win the 04 Euros.
