Record statistics of previous World Cup champions and runners-up
Since 1930, the World Cup has been held for 22 times, and 8 countries have won the championship title. Among them, Brazil is the most successful team, winning five championships in five editions. In terms of runner-up, the German team is the most outstanding, having won four runner-up titles. Below we analyze the performance statistics of previous World Cup champions and runners-up.
Championship record statistics
Brazil leads this statistic with five titles. Since 1958, they have almost always been the strongest team in the World Cup. Germany and Italy followed with four and three titles respectively. Argentina and Uruguay defended their titles twice each. In addition, France, England and Spain have each won a championship title.
Runner-up performance statistics
In terms of runner-up title in previous World Cups, the German team is the most outstanding. They have won four runner-up titles in history, three of which were lost to Brazil in the finals. Argentina and the Netherlands can tie for second place, having both won runner-up titles in three World Cups. Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Sweden have each won the runner-up title once.
Best Performance Statistics
Brazil and Germany are the best teams in previous World Cups. Brazil won the title five times, in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, and they claimed the third title in 1982 and 1986, as well as in 2014. The German team won the first place title in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014 respectively. They won the second-place title twice, in 1958 and 1966. Argentina and Italy also won two titles simultaneously.
Prospects
The rise of Asian football in recent years has shown a good trend in the World Cup. Except for the South Korean team in 2002, Asian football teams have not won the championship title, and football teams outside Asia have always been in a state of monopolizing the World Cup title. If Chinese football develops further, I believe China will also have the opportunity to win first place in the World Cup in the future. Of course, Brazil is still a team with strong strength, and they may still dominate in future games.
World Cup champion and runner-up prediction
The upcoming World Cup has always attracted the attention of fans. Although it is still unknown who will win the championship, we can analyze and predict based on the team\’s strength and previous performance. Here are my predictions for the World Cup champions and runners-up:
Championship prediction: Brazil
The Brazilian team has performed well in many World Cups in the past. They have a luxurious offensive lineup and excellent defensive strength. In the 2014 World Cup, they showed outstanding strength at home, so I think they are the favorite to win the championship.Big hit.
Runner-up prediction: Germany
As the team that won the Confederations Cup last year, the German team will certainly perform well in the 2018 World Cup. Their overall strength and team balance are something other teams don\’t have. In the past few World Cup matches, the German team has also shown very good strength, so they are expected to be a team that reaches the finals.
Dark horse prediction: Belgium
The Belgian team has also shown very strong strength in the past period. They have world-class forward players and a solid defense line. In the European Cup, the Belgian team also performed very well. If they can perform at a regular level, they may become a surprising dark horse team.
The above are my predictions for the champion and runner-up in the World Cup. Of course, the truth in the game requires someone to personally participate in the battle. The result may not be as expected.
Summary
The World Cup is one of the highest level and most representative football events in the world. In previous World Cups, the Brazilian team and the German team have performed well and become one of the most successful teams in the World Cup. In future games, the Brazilian team and the German team still have strong strength and may be the biggest favorites to compete for the championship. Of course, other teams such as France, Argentina and Belgium are also expected to be contenders. In future games, we look forward to seeing more exciting games.
