These must be your "Big football nations", correct? Nine nations. Leaving out Poland, Chile and Croatia I suppose.

You forgot Uruguay, which is actually the most impressive of the big nations as the country only has only 3,3 million inhabitants, and for some unknown reason you mentioned this ex-EU member as big football nation. Chile: Not there yet, but on their way. Poland and Croatia: Two other random mentions from you which don't make sense.

Oh yeah, Uruguay!! Damn, I forgot them because they're not quite up there with the best today. But an extremely impressive nation both historically and in modern times. I always root for them because he is a dwarf country.

Bolded: lol
"random mentions", "don't make sense"

But they are awesome. Poland and Croatia are only slightly behind Portugal in skill right now! Why do you think they are random mentions while Chile deserves a "not there yet, but on the way"?

What's your definition of a big football nation? It's not simply to win a big tournament because in that case you wouldn't have described Chile like that, only being "on their way".  Also, you seemed to imply that Portugal was a big football nation even before the victory today. Is your definition based on a combination of current skill and historical wins or what?

Oh and I forgot Belgium! He has not won anything big, so by that definition it's not a big nation but skillwise it is.
