It can't be luck when the same teams make it to the final.
Only 5 teams have played in the last 7 World Cup finals.
It takes some other intangible to make go all the way, something Spain, Holland and England don't have.
Talent is one thing, but Italy and Germany and sometimes even Brazil can make finals without the most skill. Write them off at your peril!
