team to win their 1st group game iirc was what they were saying, that then ultimately didnt advance beyond group stage since the field expanded to 32... so since france 98, that's 160 teams... they said 51 of 50 opening-match-winners had advanced

51 winners in 160 teams, 51 losers. 29 draws

But czechs in 06 and swiss in 10 already invalidate this so sounds like fake news

ahh ok. i guess i heard wrong.. instead of czech republic being the only team to do it. the Swiss also did

they were just pointing out how advantageous is it to win ur group opener.

theyre prolly the only 2 lol

In 2014 Italy and Ivory Coast both went busto after winning their first game.
You need just some basic intuition that 96% is an absurdly high number.

In 2010 both Slovenia and Switzerland.
86% seems a better ball park guess.

Haven't watched much qualifying, but I dont understand how they have such an incredible shut out record.

In 2006 it was South Korea and Czech Republic.
In 2002 it was Argentina, Costa Rica and Russia.

So its actually 9 teams overall.
