Tikka Mezzala Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I see you've put Czech Republic as a former winner. It was Czechoslovakia that won it in 1976, as you've correctly written in the list of finals. Given that what is now Slovakia provided a significant number of players for that team, it would be disrespectful to attribute that tournament win to the modern day Czech Republic!

CFuller Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Agree with what Tikka said. If you're crediting the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia as winners or runners-up (rather than their respective 'successors' Russia and Serbia), then Czechoslovakia should be credited with winning in 1976 - not the Czech Republic. Consistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I think I'm right in saying that UEFA credit both Czech Republic AND Slovakia with the 1976 win. Whereas the historic Yugoslavia record is only credited to Serbia nowadays, and the Soviet Union record is only credited to Russia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpain16 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Serbia takes credit for every Yugoslavian sports success which is quite obviously not righteous. But people in Croatia don't really care for it. You have Olympic medal winners born in Croatia, living their whole life in Croatia and dying in Croatia while their medal was credited for Serbia. Strange when you look at it.

On Soviet Union Ukrainian footballers were the backbone of the teams for years in the 80s. Not so much on the 1988 Olympics though, that team was more mixed.
