Key Statistics
Editorial Analysis & Historical Context
Rigorous Analysis: Czechoslovakia was so dedicated to football that they reached two World Cup finals and then decided to dissolve the country just to double their chances of failing to qualify. They were tactical masters who couldn't keep the nation together.
Their historical stats look highly impressive, but that’s mostly because they played in an era when offside was just a suggestion. An extinct giant that left behind two nations with half the talent.
