Before 2022 at the World Cup, in the knockout phase:
- had lost in the round of 16 only once, in 2006 to eventual cup winner Italy;
- had lost in the quarterfinals only once, in 1994 to eventual cup winner Brazil;
- had lost in the semifinal only once, in 1998 to eventual cup winner France.
so far have lost only one final, (obviously to the cup winner).
