Question of Sport 2

[BigTen]

I think that I need to clear this question up a little bit.

There have been five teams that have been eliminated from the World Cup finals without losing a game. I consider that losing in Extra-Time or on Penalties still count as a defeat.

All I want are two of these five teams and the year.

 

[Ripper]

I think Scotland in the 70's is one.

 

[BigTen]

Okay - no one is going to answer the question so here it is:

Belgium '98
England '82
Cameroon '82
Brazil '78
Scotland '74

You may as well post another then...

 

[BigTen]

In the Football World Cup which two teams do they mean when they refer to the "Phantom Final"?

 

[An Tarbh]

losing semi finalists?

 

[Arnold Rimmer]

The two highest rating teams that meet in a pool match? :huh:

 

[BigTen]

Nah - both answers are wrong! Keep guessing.

 

[getofmeland]

Its got to be the Two most successful teams in the World Cup

Which is Germany and Brazil

 

[BigTen]

Yup - well done!

Until '02 the two most successful sides in world cup history had never met in the final of the world cup.

Thus a Brazil v Germany final was always referred to as the "phantom final".

I remember hearing something the other day about this on BBC Sport, saying that it could well happen again with the brazilians being favourites and the germans being on home soil..

I shall think of a new question...
