4 times a team won every match en route world cup glory

Italy, 1938

Italian national football

The third edition of FIFA world cup was hosted in France. Italy the defending champions squared off against Hungary in the final. The Italians won the final 4-2 to retain their title and to this date are the only team to win two world cups under the same manager.

Vittorio Pozzo the man who coached the side in their triumph in 1934 was still the manager when Italy won the world cup again in 1938. What made this victory extra special was that Italy managed to win each and every game on their way to 2nd successive world cup title. On their way, they defeated the likes of Norway, hosts France, mighty Brazil before meeting Hungary in the final of the knockout tournament.
