greece weren't actually any good when they won. (There's a long sad story about me not winning £1000 on greece - they were 50-1 when they got to the quarters and i decided that no one in an 8 man race should be that long odds, but then i was late for meeting a mate for a beer, so i wavered outside the bookie's where i saw the price, and so took my £20 to the pub instead).
Belgium were quite good in the late 80s/early 90s, i think. But your point stands up - see also sweden, czechia, etc etc
