Portugal

Portugal have gone relatively close over the past decade or so in many major tournaments but they have never quite had enough to win anything. You would have thought the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Portugal squad would have changed things in the past few years but they are still falling short.

It is worth noting that at both the World Cup in 2010 and the European Championships in 2012 they were eliminated by Spain, the eventual winners, in very close matches and perhaps they just need a bit more luck to win one of these major tournaments.
