The FIFA World Cup group stage will enter its final round, with seven teams including Mexico, the United States, Germany, France, Norway, Argentina, and Colombia having secured two consecutive wins. However, since Brazil in 2002, no FIFA World Cup champion has achieved a perfect record in the group stage.
In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Brazil defeated Turkey, China, and Costa Rica in the group stage, then won all four knockout matches to become champions. The five FIFA World Cup champions since then have not achieved a perfect record in the group stage.
2006 FIFA World Cup champions Italy group stage: Win Draw Win (Draw with USA)
2010 FIFA World Cup champions Spain group stage: Loss Win Win (Loss to Switzerland)
2014 FIFA World Cup champions Germany group stage: Win Draw Win (Draw with Ghana)
2018 FIFA World Cup champions France group stage: Win Win Draw (Draw with Denmark)
2022 FIFA World Cup champions Argentina group stage: Loss Win Win (Loss to Saudi Arabia)
In the 2022 FIFA World Cup, not a single team achieved a perfect record in the group stage, with France, Brazil, and Portugal all losing in the final round after two consecutive wins. So this time, who will achieve a perfect record in the group stage?
