Italy: wait a little bit my friend

How to win the world cup?
1. Face Australia in round of 16
2. Defeat it
3. Champions of the World

[zzochrome]

And San Marino has never lost a World Cup game🇸🇲🔥

[skojuzija]

So if Norway qualifies for WC but Italy doesnt then they will win 100%😂

Fun Fact: In both the 2018 and 2022 WC, Belgium & Croatia respectively beat Japan in the R16, Brazil in the QF, lost to the winners in the semis, and beat the other advancing team from their group to get 3rd.

Another fact. Manuel neuer is the only goal keeper to record an assist at a World Cup. He did it against England in 2010 but that match is obviously more remember for another reason

Fun Facts:
1.Whenever Peru participated in the World Cup (six times), they had always played against the eventual winners of that tournament (Uruguay in 1930, Brazil in 1970, Germany in 1974, Argentina in 1978, Italy in 1982, and France in 2018).
This might be a honorable me tion for this video, adding to that Aussie's blessings.
2.In the previous video, someone had commented me about the "World Cup title holders curse". Basically, the defending champions of the World Cup were eliminated immediately from the group stage.
Every editions that included this curse happened at the same time when both Nigeria and Argentina were in the same group of the tournament (2002, 2010, 2014, 2018).
And when Nigeria missed out the World Cup in 2006 and 2022, the defending champions didn't got grouped during that editions (Brazil crashed out in 2006 QF, while France lost to Argentina in 2022 Final).
3.The World Cups between 2010 and 2018 saw the particular winners beating the next edition's winners of that tournament, which sounds like a crazy fact.
I guess this cycle will be repeated in 2026 World Cup if France somehow won it.
2010 winners Spain beat 2014 winners Germany in 2010 World Cup SF.
2014 winners Germany beat 2018 winners France in 2014 World Cup QF.
2018 winners France beat 2022 winners Argentina in 2018 World Cup R16 (Argentina would go on to beat the same team in 2022 World Cup Final on penalties).

Also, funny enough to see him mentioning the 1994 group stage, where all 4 teams in Group E got 4 points, but he forgot to include the fact Group E of the Euro 2024 also ended up with the similar fate.

Finally the Italy beating Norway gets mentioned and 2 other interesting facts too 👍 👏

[jcsuico]

Aussie Blessing is sure give for any team to win against France or win Finals in penalties. wonder if it will repeat in next world cup.

You should talk about Carlos Ruiz he could had been seen by everyone in WC. One of the best small teams to be seen.

[Airlineball]

As a Aussie, l confirm that every time we lose in the RO16, we should know who will win the World Cup, l guess we gave them World Cup luck 💀💀💀

[matthewsu]

Australia was an indicator of the champion of each edition! 😅

[jayk]

If only Norway had qualified for one of the last two world cups. They obviously would have won the whole thing

[cardavc]

I have other one.. team who eliminate Mexico at knockout stage can’t win the World Cup or is eliminated at the next stage so with the Australia fact… that could be interesting… if they meet at a knockout match

[Chris-]

There's a few cases of one country constantly defeating another in WC
Like Chile, who was defeated by Brazil EVERY SINGLE TIME they reached knockouts

[istoleurcookie-sq]

As a guatemalan, HOW DO CARLO RUIZ HAS

[solehudin]

That 1994 group standing sounds dejavu 😊

[Herb]

Another fun World Cup fact is that so far, every World Cup Canada qualified for, Argentina has won it. 😂

[suryac]

Antarctica never lost a world cup game.
