We choose to believe: the Davoo Xeneize statistic that excites Argentine fans

Argentina's qualification for the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup not only fueled the hopes of fans but also gave rise to a striking historical coincidence. Davoo Xeneize reviewed a statistic involving the quarter-finals of the World Cup that connects the Argentine National Team with two historic champions: Italy and Brazil.

The content creator highlighted that Argentina's victory of 3-1 against Switzerland is a practically unprecedented result at that stage of the tournament. "Do you know how many times a team has won a World Cup quarter-final match 3 to 1? Three times in all of history. Argentina did it in the 2026 World Cup against Switzerland," he stated.

From that data, he recalled what the previous instances had been: "Do you know which was the last team to win a World Cup quarter-final 3 to 1? Brazil in 1962. They won 3 to 1 against England."

He then completed the statistic with the other recorded case. "And do you know which was the other team that won a World Cup quarter-final match 3 to 1? Italy in 1938. They won 3 to 1 against France," he emphasized.

For Davoo Xeneize, the fact takes on a special dimension due to what happened afterward with those teams. "Do you know what the coincidence is?" he asked before answering: "That Italy in '38 and Brazil in '62 are the only two two-time world champions. They came from winning the World Cup, won 3 to 1 in the quarter-finals, and then became world champions."

The streamer pointed out that Argentina reaches this stage with a similar path, having conquered the previous World Cup. "And Argentina comes to win the World Cup, won 3 to 1 in the quarter-finals," he expressed.
