What if we only looked at the last 13 editions of FIFA World Cup to be on level playing field with EURO? Would it still be harder to win the EURO?

Which one is more difficult to win – the EURO or the World Cup?
In 19 World Cup editions so far we’ve had 8 winning teams. By comparison, in only 13 editions of EURO we’ve already had 9 different winning teams. Both competitions have final tournaments held every 4 years.

This is the group of the defending Champion and FIFA World Cup Winner, Spain. High pressures and great expectations for Spain and an opportunity to write history. Here are the group predictions from the Soccer Crusader:
Spain v Italy 4-2
Republic of Ireland v Croatia 2-2
Italy v Croatia 2-0
Spain v Republic of Ireland 1-0
Italy v Republic of Ireland 1-1
Croatia v Spain 0-2
Spain will confirm and win the group. But a surprising Ireland, a more Italian team than Italy, will fight to the last minute, almost making it through.
