    In last 20 years the following Southamerican teams made top 4 (semifinals):
    Brazil
    Uruguay

    One asian team (South Korea) and no other non european team.

    The following european teams have made top 4 in the last 20 years:
    Italy
    Germany
    France
    Portugal
    Spain
    Netherlands
    Turkey
    Croatia
    Sweden
    Bolgaria

    Interesting fact: If Germany beats Uruguay today it means no European team lost to non-european team in direct eliminations on this WC.

    England made the Semis in 1990.

    and argentina made the finals in 90 as well.

    semis doesnt say much to me, a lot of times its just a matter of a lucky draw. so lets look at finalists:

    90 argentina
    94 brazil (champ)
    98 brazil
    02 brazil (champ)
    06 -
    10 -

    and for europe
    90 germany (champs)
    94 Italy
    98 france (champs)
    02 germany
    06 france italy (champs)
    10 spain holland (one will be champ)

    so in the past 20 years velik_m artbitrarily chose, 6 out of 50 european teams made the finals (66% of possible finalists, 12% of total european teams, and 10% of qualified european teams for the 6 WC in this period)

    for south america, 2 of 10 teams made the finals (33% of possible finalists, 20% of total south american teams, and 15% of qualified SA teams for the 6 WC in this period).

    Even with two consecutive all european finals, south america still had better overall representation than europe (20% vs 12%), and better overall performance (15% vs 10%). Hmm, maybe the reason they have twice the possible finalists, is because they send more than twice the number of teams?

    When something really gets to me I answer seriously, I don't make "lol" sentences.
