Following football since I know myself, monitoring the best teams from less prestigious leagues through their European quests and domestic leagues. #TargetTeams
⚠️ | QUICK STAT
Having played the entire 90 minutes against Poland tonight, Luka Modrić now has 182 national team appearances to his name. 🇭🇷
Since Croatia have now played 363 matches since gaining independence, Modrić has now played in more than 50% of all their matches! 🤯
The third progressive riser is the third Nordic country - Sweden.
I'm pretty much sure that the last Euros were the last one they will have skipped in a while. Would be surprised if they miss the WC as well.

Great rise of Norwegian football in the recent 5 years. My prediction is that we will see them range of 30+ players in a few years despite the Norwegian population.
@NorwayFoot@footy_nordic@NRWSTS#Norway
with potential for the top 5 leagues in practically all positions. Can we expect a bounce back from Serbia in the following years?
What was the main issue in Serbia's footballers' production?

Downfall of Serbia
In the recent years, Serbia lost a significant number of players in top 5 leagues. While the trend is not great at all, it seems that their youth system started producing some quality and quantity. Generations 2005-2008 seems to have over a dozen talents 1/2
Certainly the leading country among the ones I follow is Denmark. The production of players is rising practically year after year, while the Superligaen is getting more and more competitive.
Can Denmark repeat something like 1992 in the following years?

What the hell is wrong with Slovakia and Romania? Some time ago Denmark and Sweden didn’t blink and played 2:2 so “the Spaghettis would go out”. Nobody will admire Eastern Europeans’ fair play. They will think that EE are stupid, which they would be.
#EURO2024
The number of transfers in summer 2023, was the third lowest since 2018 and my count started, which shows the disbalance on the transfer market. The lowest was Corona year 2020 (23) and 2019 (39) #TargetTeams#Danmark#Serbia#Austria#Croatia#Poland#Sweden#Norway
The Bosnian golden generation is slowly dispersing, but with some new prospects on the horizon. @igrajlopte
Ukraine is going up, as expected due to the war, while Romania is also a riser.
Poland dropped and it is also visible that the rest of the players are bench warmers. @rightbankwarsaw
Denmark still on top, Austria rose one spot, Serbia has a huge number of La Liga players.
Big riser is Albania. @AlbanianFooty
