I think these are good candidates

Last season half the starters were injured. We were absolutely ravaged. Barely made it out of relegation. So I think (even though we already now have 3 injured forwards) were going to do a decent bit better this season. Also the fact we had easyish fixtures helps.
I mean Man City def has better quality, but Brentford managed to play well, and do good both in posession and XG, beating man city, which is impressive.

People were quite proud in the past few euros. Especially euro 2020 when we beat france, but also euro 2024 making it to quarters and losing on pens to eventual finalists.For the world cup people were generally happy we qualified, but world cup 2022 was seen as a disaster (lost 5-1 to portugal ro16).
I think people had less high expectations, because we have a decent number of really good players, but unlike belgium we didn’t have any “world stars” KDB, Hazard, Courtois etc.
teams past its prime. we had golden generation 2014-2024, now after a decade (and now that the euros are done) a bunch have retired. In that timeframe, we were the only team except for france to make it to every single euros + world cup round of 16
Same generation that won the U-17 world cup in 2009 for switzerland. Ended up being our best ever national team.
Now we go back to being a Norway/Ireland level team. Qualifying here and there, never going far.

okay. perhaps then
sopuli is good option, because europe centered just like football, and generally a well run instance
or perhaps lemm.ee has the advantage of being larger scale.
I’d vote for sopuli, but I see upsides to both.
