1934 was somewhat of a rigged affair though. Read any authoritative history on the World Cup, it will tell you so. Oh and not only that, the Italians had Argentines on the team that actually probably were not eligible.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup/germany-accused-of-doping-in-1954-world-cup-2118271.html Germany’s own university seems to insinuate they doped in 1954.

And 1978 was a dodgy World Cup too that Argentina won and probably with a bit of extra wings like the 1954 Team.

So those stats are so so to me. Officially so but with room to ponder just for me.

And the game with Poland in 74 should never have been played. The field was a virtual swamp, totally nullifying Poland’s speed advantage over the Germans.
