I think the lessons are increasingly clear that third tier nations can over-perform now and then if they possess the bottle and character, but they rarely go on to create a dynasty or impression much beyond the tournament they did well in. Turkey are probably the expection on the list below as they feature twice

2016 - Wales
2010 - Uruguay
2008 - Turkey
2004 - Greece
2002 - South korea & Turkey
1998 - Croatia
1996 - England
1994 - Bulgaria & Sweden
1992 - Denmark
