Nice bump before Sundays game.
lol 50 vs 10
lol 10 vs 9
lol almost a WC per country

lol Distefano
lol Pele
lol Maradona
lol Islas Feroe
lol Andorra
lol England
lol France
lol Italy
whoa bro, you kinda went off on a tangent there lol
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?
lol 4 of the top 8 beign from South America
lol 4 out of 10 SA countries
lol 40%
lol South America beign only Brazil and Argentina
lol arguing by making things up
I hate to break it to both of you, but that was more than 20 years ago...
Oh and...

aaah some sweet memories. That was a great goal, great moment and the commentator jack van gelder going crazy![]()
I see it still hurts...![]()
I wouldn't have said anything if it did.
Because people generally respond only to things they don't care about...
(and yes i care)
When something really gets to me I answer seriously, I don't make "lol" sentences.
1990 - 2010 is exactly 20 years.
