Also the leading scorer of Serie A is from pre-2000, Silvio Piola, who played between 1929 and 1954, with WWII in between (which is even more insane to think about). And the leading scorer of Milan is Gunnar Nordahl who played in the '40 and '50.

It wasn’t much of an advantage in World Cups in Brazil and Russia.

Also high level players nowadays are always traveling around even in Europe, they are definitely used to travel and its effect on them.

It’ll be easier at the Euros. If anything because England has never won it and they are now having a strong generation of young players. So it’s possible that they’ll win it sooner rather than later. Plus, the Euros is more open than the WC for potential underdogs. There could always be a dark horse winner outside of the potential favourites. However, the perennial candidates have all already won at least once (besides England), so it’ll have to be something like Denmark 92 or Greece 04, totally unpredictable.

In the World Cup is more difficult to imagine a new winner soon, imho. In Europe the one perennial candidate for victory is the Netherlands but I don’t see them winning it anytime soon (sorry Dutch fans). Outside of Europe I don’t think there’s a team that can pull it off yet. An Asian or African winner will happen, but I don’t think it’ll happen soon.

Roma had a weird and intense rivalry with Bodo/Glimt

For a period also Milan and Liverpool were not on good terms, but I don’t know now.

Despite his name, he is from Brescia :D

Venezia’s colours are black, orange and green.

Traditionally Venezia was black and green but in the 80s they merged with Mestrina (a team from the mainland) whose colour was orange. So since then they use all three colours
