21 World Cup finals between them.

Germany 1954, 1966, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990, 2002
Brazil 1950, 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 1998, 2002
Argentina 1978, 1986, 1990
Holland 1974, 1978, 2010

I make that 20. Did this from memory but don't think I've missed one (am a bit of a statto when it comes to the World Cup)

With the exception of 2006, you have to go pre -war to get a Final without one of those four in it. It makes sense but is still remarkable to see it laid out like that.

Argies were in the first ever final 1930.

I remember the commentators saying that 2010 was the first ever world cup final that didn't feature one of the germans, italians, brazilians or argies.

Those 4 are the big boys really. No one else compares.

I should've known I'd come a cropper...you're the King round here if I remember correctly.

Crap that preview

Sometimes less is more.
Other times less is lazy.

World Cup in Brasil, South America, where Europeans historically can't cope with the climate. This has a Germany Holland final written all over it.
