Rob1981 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Infact, did he not say 4 times that the previous tournament's finalists had met again at the next World Cup? Not just any two teams meeting twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is it supposed to be in two consecutive matches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBaldBuddhist Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 That would make more sense if they say it has only happened on 4 occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri916 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He said it was the 4th time the two previous finalists have met in the next tournament. Incidentally, he also said that the previous winner had never won the rematch either, and that trend continued last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 4 times that the previous tournament's finalists had met again at the next World Cup? So don't think we ever got the answer for this. 1966 finalists - England and West Germany Met again in 1970 Quarter Final 1974 finalists - West Germany and Holland Met again in 1978 Second Group Stage 1986 finalists - Argentina and West Germany Met again in 1990 Final 2010 finalists - Spain and Holland Met again in 2014 Group Stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
