"Not difficult with this group of players" - a history lesson

Not difficult with this group of players to:

Actually qualify for a major tournament in 1974, 1978, 1984, 1994, 2008.

Even win one game in the 1992 Euros

Avoid defeat against Romania in 1998 to stay out of horrific half of draw

Avoid defeat against both Romania and Portugal in 2000.

Beat the USA in 2010

Get more than a single point in 2014 and finish behind Costa Rica.

Not get knocked out by Iceland in 2016.
