Going back to 1958, because formats were different before, plus group
sizes were uneven. 2022 was the first time since 1994 that no team
achieved maximum points in the group stage - before that you go back to
1962.
2022 -- NONE.
2018 - three Croatia, Belgium, Uruguay
2014 - four. Netherlands, Colombia, Belgium, Argentina
2010 - two Argentina, Netherlands
2006 - 4 - Germany, Portugal, Brazil, Spain
2002 - 2 Spain, Brazil (Champions)
1998 - 2 France (Champions) Argentina
1994 - 6 groups, no teams on 9 points.
1990 - 2 teams on six points, Italy, Brazil
1986 - 2 teams on six, Brazil, Denmark
1982 - 2 teams on six, Brazil, England
1978 - 4 groups, 1 team on six points (Italy)
1974 - 1 team on six points, Poland
1970 - 2 teams on 6, Brazil (Champions), W. Germany
1966 - 2 teams on 6, Portugal and USSR
1962 - No teams
1958 - No teams
Finishing on maximum points is not a particularly good predictor of who
will win the cup.
