Hi all. I was thinking of editing a section on ranking teams by World Cup performance (namely England). Its a bit hard for example 1962 England v 1998 England. The team in 1962 made the knockout stage, the last 8 / quarterfinals to be exact because there were only 16 teams in the tournament then, with a 1-1-1 record before losing. The 1998 team also made the knockout stage, the round of 16 as there were 32 teams, but with a 2-0-1 record and only getting eliminated on penalties after a draw. I know chart says 1962 is 8th and 1998 as 9th but it is a bit misleading. All in all is there a way to measure up or is it all original research in the end. For the record I'm inclined to say 1998 > 1962 but its not that straight forward. So yeah I'm asking the experts here for advice before wasting any time on editing. Thanks.
