The uncrowned king of Holland, won the runner-up in the World Cup for three times, but it is not the most tragic! One team lost the final four times

The Dutch team of the Orange Army has reached the World Cup final three times in history, but all three finals ended in failure, so that fans call the Netherlands the uncrowned king of the World Cup. But even the Netherlands, which lost three times the World Cup final, is not the team that won the most runner-ups in the World Cup. One team has lost four finals in the history of the World Cup and is the team that has won the most runner-ups. At the same time, another team lost the final three times, tied for the second most with the Netherlands. Let's take a look at the teams that have been second in the World Cup finals many times.

The Uncrowned King reached the World Cup final for the first time, which happened in the 1974 World Cup. At that time, the Netherlands, led by Cruyff, reached the final in the team's World Cup debut. Before advancing to the final, the Netherlands achieved 5 wins and 1 draw in two stages of the match. The first stage was in the same group as Sweden, Bulgaria and Uruguay, and the Netherlands won 2 wins and 1 draw to advance to the second stage with the first place in the group. In the second stage, there were two teams, defending champion Brazil and Argentina and South American two-strong teams, and the Netherlands finally won three games to advance to the final. Facing Germany's final, the opponent has world-class stars such as Beckenbauer and Gede Muller, but the Netherlands scored in 2 minutes of the game, and Germany overtook the score before the first half and kept the score 2-1 until the end of the game. The Netherlands lost the first World Cup final in team history. The Netherlands made a comeback in the 1978 World Cup. After successfully passing the first stage, they broke through the siege in the second stage and reached the World Cup final again. This time they faced the host Argentina. The two teams drew in regular time. After entering overtime, Argentina scored two goals in a row and finally defeated the Netherlands 3-1. The Orange Army ranked second in the World Cup for two consecutive times.

The time comes to the 2010 World Cup, and the Netherlands has not reached the finals for more than 30 years. The Netherlands won all three games in the group stage and advanced to the knockout round with strong strength. The Dutch defeated Slovakia in the quarterfinals, eliminated five-star Brazil in the quarterfinals, and defeated Uruguay 3-2 in the semi-finals. The Dutch reached the World Cup final again after 32 years. This time their final was still bitter. Facing the Spanish final, the two teams were in a stalemate for 116 minutes. In the end, Iniesta's goal caused Spain to take away the victory, and the Netherlands lost the final again, leaving a memory that was unbearable to look back on.

Argentina, like the Netherlands, also lost the World Cup final three times, but luckier than the Netherlands, the Blue and White Army has also won three World Cup championships. Argentina reached the final of the first World Cup in 1930, but Argentina, which led 2-1 in the first half, suffered a reversal in Uruguay in the second half, and eventually lost the game 4-2 and missed the first World Cup championship. In the following time, Argentina won the World Cup twice in the 1978 World Cup and the 1986 World Cup. Argentina reached the finals for two consecutive times in the 1990 World Cup. They defeated Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy in the knockout round and met Germany again in the World Cup final. In the 1986 World Cup final, Argentina officially defeated Germany and won the second World Cup. In the 1990 World Cup final, the goddess of luck did not favor Argentina. Germany scored a penalty at the last moment to complete its revenge against Argentina. In the 2014 World Cup final, Germany and Argentina, the enemy, met again in the World Cup final. In the knockout round, Messi led the most iron-blooded generation in Argentina defeated Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, and reached the World Cup final again after 24 years. Goze's goal shattered Argentina's dream of winning. They lost to Germany for the second time in the final, ushering in the third final defeat in the history of the World Cup.

Germany won the runner-up four times in the history of the World Cup, which is indeed unexpected. The Germanic tank reached the finals eight times in the history of the World Cup, 4 of which won the championship and 4 of which lost in the finals. Germany reached the finals after many years in the 1966 World Cup. In the knockout round, they defeated Uruguay and the Soviet Union and reached the World Cup final as they wished. The final opponent is England, which has home advantage. Although Germany is the first goal scorer in the two teams, England still won 4-2 and won Germany's first defeat in the World Cup final. England won the only World Cup championship in team history. In the 1982 World Cup, Germany once again reached the World Cup final. This time they faced the Italian team in the final. Italy took the initiative from the beginning of the game. Although Italy, who got the penalty kick, Italy, which recovered its form in the second half, scored three goals in a row, basically secured the victory. Although Germany scored a goal at the last moment, Italy still won the World Cup championship with a score of 3-1. Germany has once again become someone else's background board.

In the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Germany reached the finals for two consecutive World Cups. Facing Argentina led by Maradona, the two teams were in a difficult position. The game was once tied 2-2. At the last moment of the game, Maradona sent a century assist, Brucharga completed a fatal blow, Argentina successfully won the World Cup championship, and Germany ranked second for the third time. In the 2002 World Cup, Germany reached the final again. Facing Brazil, which once won four championships, the German team had a fierce confrontation with Brazil.
