[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remind me the last time a team from South or Central America finished in the top 3 of a WC.  [/quote]

2014 GER v ARG. GER won so traditionally that makes ARG #2. This was literally the cup before last. What is wrong with you?[/quote]

And to continue that, here's the top 4 since 1930. Either ARG or BRZ (or both) has made it to top 3-4 at least 65% of the time. So pretty much every other World Cup you have ARG or BRZ in the final rounds.
