I believe Germany from Europe and Brazil from SA have been the only teams to do that consistently.
Especially the Germans :agree:


1930- Did not participate (Refused invitation)
1934- Semis
1938- 1/8 finals
1950 - Did not participate (Post-War. They didn't have a football federation)
1954 - Winners
1958- Semis
1962- Quarters
1966- Final
1970- Semis
1974- Winners
1978- Quarters
1982- Final
1986- Final
1990- Winners
1994- Quarters
1998- Quarters
2002 - Final
2006 - Semis
2010 - Quarters...for now

They played in 17 World cups and only once they didn't make at least the quarters. This is their 15th WC in a row where they make the quarterfinals.
That's.....sick!

Damn: perhaps Barca will buy him before the tournaments over, then who lays claim to him?
I fail to understand why is Barca after him at all.

Maybe they're planning a 4-3-3 with Iniesta and Messi on the sides, Villa in the center, with Xavi, Cesc and a Busquets in midfield? Or they fear another serious injury in Iniesta's case?
Or they simply want to make a Galactico, screwing the balance and simply marketing themselves?

In any case, if they buy Cesc then lots of changes will have to be made.

Are you denying that Real Madrid is the best club in the history of football? Really, are you?
Were you really talking about that classification when talking about them being numero uno and us not? Really?


Look mate, I don't give a shit what RM did in the 50s and 60s when almost no one gave a fuck about football. The 70s, 80s and 90s bring, to me at least, the fondest memory of football and in that era Juventus ruled like no other when the likes of united, Liverpool, Milan, Barcelona and your precious RM were playing their trade at their best. Not when club football was disgustingly a one sided game over and over again.

Stop, think, stop again, think again.

You are making an ass of yourself.

When you put it that way....more than half of those Juventini who won a World Cup did it in 1934 and 1938 :D

You can't just delete a period and history and pretend it didn't happen. Why is the 70's counted and not the 60's. Fact of the matter is, even if you don't consider the 50's and 60's. They are still a more successful club than anyone else, including Juventus.

My "precious" RM? What are you talking about man? I despise that team.
