Right, I'm guessing it's something to do with the two teams who reach the final. Perhaps 1970 is the only time where the two teams in the final beat the teams who competed in the previous final along the way. Bit of a long-shot like! ie in 1970 Brazil beat England in the Group stage, and Italy knocked out West germany. This time round if it were, for example an Argentina-France final, they would have achieved this feat.

I'm gonna guess that my guess is wrong, so I'll just ask, am I right with it being to do with the two teams reaching the final?
