World Cup Trivia

(which is easy to Google but is an interesting fact nonetheless)

If Netherlands lose the final, there will only have been one unbeaten team in the entire tournament.  Who would that be?

The plucky Kiwis.  Three draws, no?

Obviously someone who didn't even get past the first round.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

North Korea came home with three glorious 7-0 victories to honor their great leader.

Ding! Ding! Ding! (or should I say Click! Click! Click!)

Ironically, the Netherlands are the only team with a 100% record, 6 games, 6 wins.

The Netherlands are also similar to the Buffalo Bills of the NFL.  One of the better squads to reach the final and never win it all.  This tournament will be yet another disappointing finish to a great run through the World Cup for them.
