I heard this bit of trivia today
Haven't checked yet to see if it's true but I heard on the radio that if Spain beat Holland in the final there will be only 1 team to have not lost a single match this tournament






















New Zealand!!!!

This was on World Cup Daily.

Think they also said that if Holland win then they will be the only team to have won every single game they played.

For the record Scotland were undefeated in 1974 and didn't qualify through the group stage.

This. Seem to recall an advert on the radio saying this very same thing. Think it was for one of those numbers where you text them questions and they text back an answer.

Also worth bearing in mind that Holland also won all of their games in qualifying for this tournament (which might have been a first too?), nevermind the fact they've won all 6 so far at the world cup itself. This is pretty impressive even before all the Scotland bashers come on... can't imagine England winning all their games even in an easier group than the one Holland had.

The other good bit of trivia from James Richardson's World Cup [almost] Daily was that there were only six shots on the Italian goal in the tournament. They let in five of them

What if Holland win on penalties? Does that count as a draw?

Assuming they win, Spain would need to score four times tonight to avoid becoming the lowest-scoring WC winners ever.

Did France score less when they won the WC in their own backyard? I seem to remember them winning pretty much every game 1-0 up until the final - but I guess not if that is what you are saying.
