At any given Euro or World Cup in soccer, there are big teams that fail to qualify. Four time world champion Italy has now missed back-to-back World Cups. It happens; it doesn't lessen the prestige of the tournament.
4 nations tournament just doesn't have any prestige to begin with, so no one cares.
