Argentina will face Spain in the final on Sunday with a chance to be the first team to retain the World Cup since 1962.
What country was the last to repeat as World Cup champions?
- Italy
- Germany
- England
- Brazil
- Wisconsin
Answer: Brazil is the last country to win back-to-back FIFA World Cup championships, a feat they achieved by winning the tournament in both 1958 and 1962. In 1958 they beat Sweden in the final by a score of 5-2 and it marked the debut of 17-year old Pele. Brazil won that game even though Sweden had home field advantage as the game was played in Solna outside of Stockholm. In 1962 they beat Czechoslovakia 3-1 in Chile to defend their title.
