Lore & Background

The 1974 third-place match ended 2-1 to the Netherlands. The 1998 semi-final did not feature a free-kick by Dennis Bergkamp; Bergkamp scored in the quarter-final against Argentina. The 2010 World Cup match was a quarter-final, not a round of 16 match. The 2014 quarter-final victory for Brazil was over Colombia, not Chile.
