Why are you acting like that team was something special son?
They were a very mediocre team with mediocre talent that had a good enough system, and just got lucky with some calls and penalties to get to a WC semis. Nothing more than that, tbh.
The proof of their mediocreness is that, right now (just two years from that run), they aren't even good enough to get into the most watered down Eurocup in football's history.
On the other hand, upcoming teams with true young talent like Chile and Colombia kept improving and getting better.
