I do like the way that the Netherlands Antilles managed to become football World Champs in 1963 by beating Mexico, and that it's been round Zimbabwe and Angola in the last decade.

I had the whites as champions of Europe in 99 after we beat Oxford. They had just beaten Everton in the previous round, who had beaten Liverpool in the derby before that. Liverpool had beaten Arsenal early in the season and Arsenal had beaten Man U in the Charity Shield. Man U were the actual champions of Europe.
Of course, I decided to ignore any previous lineage in there by starting with the 1999 European Cup final, but hey, it just seems a logical starting point

NZ were robbed!
Much like Suzie robbed us in 1995 The French in 1999 Mortlock in 2003 Wayne Barnes in 2007...... The Disputed Years 1980-84 At the end of 1979 England, the then World Champions, flew to Australia to play a three test series. At the same time Australia also played a series against the West Indies. Both series took place at the same time with the West Indian series starting first. The "standard" World Championship looks at the score when a series finishes to determine the winner and, as the series between Australia and the West Indies ended first, it does not count towards the championship. However by the end of the second test against England in January, Australia were already 2-0 up in the series. It could be argued therefore that they were already World Champions when they played the West Indies in the third test two weeks later. If that were so a rather different pattern emerges which briefly sees New Zealand holding their only title......

Just saw this thread linked at the bottom of another thread I was reading
Interestingly, England hold the title under steds/Goughy's method and will do so until at least next June, while India need two wins in the next two to keep hold of the linear title. |
