Since the World Cup in 1974, who is the champion with the highest points and the lowest points in Brazil, which won seven games and seven wins in 2002？

First of all, explain three questions.

First, why should we start from 1974? Since the World Cup in 1974, champions have played seven games, and this situation will continue until 2022. In fact, the size of the World Cup in 1974 and 1978 was 16 teams. Supposedly, there were only six matches for the champion, but at that time, the competition system was to play the rematch group match after the group match, so there was virtually one more match than the knockout match system.

Second, the winning or losing and the integral mentioned here are subject to conditions. There is nothing wrong with the group stage, and in the knockout stage, because there may be a penalty shootout, the team that wins the penalty shootout is not a win, but a draw and scores one point. Winning in overtime can be counted as 3 points.

Third, the three-point system was only implemented in the World Cup in 1994, so before that, only two points were scored for winning a game. Here, for the sake of fairness, the World Cup before 1994 is also counted on a three-point system for the time being.

Ok, after clarifying the above three questions, we will invite the best World Cup champion in 74 years-Brazil in 2002. Where are the cows? Niu won 7 games in 7 games and took all 21 points. If the World Cup is likened to an exam, then Brazil in 2002 is a perfect score. Beating Turkey in the group stage, China and Costa Rica were just warm-ups, and beating four European teams (including Turkey) in the knockout stage in a row showed Brazil’s comfortable posture and confident temperament. At that time, the 3R group played well, and until now, it is still the most classic green group in many people’s minds.

With Brazil winning seven games as a benchmark, the other World Cup champions are more or less ashamed. The champion’s trophy is the same, but the color behind it is very different. In 74 years, Brazil not only got full marks, but also they were the only champion who got full marks.

So, who is the champion with the least points in 74 years?

In fact, how can the team that won the championship have too few points? At least you can’t lose too much in the group stage, right? If you lose one game, it will be the sky, and you can’t lose in the knockout. If you lose, you will be out, and you will not win the championship. Therefore, even if the score is the least, it is generally unsatisfactory.

Maybe someone will think of Italy in’ 82. At that time, Italy won three games in a row in the group stage, only getting 3 points. But they played well in the next four games and won all of them, so the score of 4 wins and 3 draws is acceptable, at least better than those champions who lost. Of course, the 3-year-old company is a bit of a drag on the points, so Italy in 1982 was the champion with fewer points, only getting 15 points. Note that, as I said before, here is a three-point system for the time being. According to the two-point system, their score is 11 points.

So, are there any champions with less than 15 points?

Yes. That’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022’s new champion, Argentine.

Argentina has two points, resulting in less points. First, they lost in the group match. Second, they experienced two penalty shootouts in the knockout round. These two points are enough for them to set a new low for the World Cup champions in 74 years. So how much is it? 6 points for 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage and 8 points for 2 wins and 2 draws in the knockout stage. Therefore, Argentina won the championship with 7 games, 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 14 points.

It should be said that this achievement is still relatively mediocre. Of course, we can also see the hardships of winning the championship in Argentina. In fact, Argentina was not the biggest favourite before the game, which Messi himself admitted. But they finally reached the top. Integral is just a cloud, and champion is king.
