Gribz 850 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 The 17 previous WC's has produced only 7 winners. Uruguay x2, Italy x3, Brazil x5, Germany x3, England x1, Argentina x2, France x1. If Italy, Brazil and France win there 2nd round games then the last 8 will be made up of Switz or Ukraine plus all the previous world cup winners minus Uruguay. Could make for a very interesting last 8 with all the big boys in there, even if not then Portugal or Spain could be there in attempt to join the elite club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colshy18 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 did you know that in italys first world cup final victory being played at home, italy are alleged to have paid off players and referees to assist them in the title. benito mussolini wanted italy to be known as the world champions and paid for it. ....therefore, czechoslavakia may well be more deserved of that world cup. did you know that in germanys first world cup final victory in 1954 the germans are alleged to have paid off a referee who done hungary out of many decisions and a perfectly good goal. ....therefore, hungary may be more deserved of that world cup. did you know, that in argentinas 1978 campaign at home they paid off a argentine born peruvian keeper to concede six goals in order that argentina got an easier run to the final. also, the argentine military which was in charge of the country at the time made sure their president made `visits` to the opposition dressing room prior to games in which it`s alleged that `money and/or threats took place. .....therefore, holland may be more deserved of that world cup. if the above actually was taken into consideration and everything had been done fairly, then the list would look like this today... world cup winners- brazil(5) germany(2) italy(2) uruguay(2) argentina(1) france(1) england(1) holland(1) czechoslovakia(1) hungary(1) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
