    Hmm? Sweden won only one world cup, IIRC.

    And I did edit the answer on question 24.

    As for Q 20: could it be East-Timor?

    No, Sweden haven't won the amount of world cups you have mentioned.

    I think Italy have won it 3 times, and I know they've lost in the final at least once, don't know about how many times they've been 3rd though

    But I should be revising - last exam tomorrow, woohoo!

    Maybe after that I'll sift through any still unanswered questions...

    Well, to my defense, this guy gets on my nerves. so I tend to ignore him.

    Well, It's late (or early). They never won a WC.

    Not East-Timor. Well, that beats me. Maybe Saar-Louis? Or 'Saarland' in german?

    Italy have won 3 times, yes. (1934, 1938, and 1982) They have not been second the amount of times you have mentioned.

    Right, Sweden have never won a WC. Their best positions are third place 1950 and 1994 and second place 1958.

    And it is not Saar-Louis.

    Wrong!! First of, it wasn't Müller. He holds the third place of most goals in a single WC tournament and it wasn't even '74 he won the Golden Boot award, it was in 1970.
