3. Italy 16-11-9-8-6-4
2. Germany 16-15-15-11-7-3
1. Brazil 18-15-14-10-7-5
the top two, brazil and germany, are isolated from the rest. both qualified from initial group stages or first round 15 times, germany in only 16 attempts. germany has reached the top 8 and the top 4 once more than brazil, respecively, but the southamericans have won 5 out of 7 finals, germany only 3 out of seven. italy won four out of six finals, but only reached a total of 8 semifinals and 9 quarter finals, which is six shy of germany.
I agree. The one who won more times the world cup is the best.
ReplyDeleteOh my God!!!! It's impossible to someone think like you man!!! Just know I saw that. How can you put germany higher than Italy??!!And you say that Brazil and German are isolated from the "rest"?? How is that possible? Italy has more world cup victories! This criteria that you use does not exist. You are from Brazil, and I know the rules of your country, and I think these are the same rules all around the world. For example, when two clubs have the same amount of points in a cup, which one wins? The one that has more victories! Is that correct? So how is it possible that germany is in second place if they have only 3 victories and Italy has 4. You're completely crazy, and you don't know that because anyone tell you, anyone comment these "articles" that you post. And just a reminder.....you don't need to answer my friend. I know you are reading and that's enough to me. By the way, your articles is just like a comedy program to me. Laughs guaranteed.
