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 :)

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.
