the size, shape and circumstances of this tournament varied from 1930 until 1998, so to effectively count all-time "relevance" i paged through the wikis to get the Final Four for each tournament, because it's the only thing consistent from 1930 to today.  In 1950 for example there wasn't even a final game, just a final group.  For your entertainment, here's the all-time relevance chart, team not here or gone, wins/final4appearances:

 I am an equal opportunity flop hater. 

and suarez is the fucking meistro of flopping.  2014 was pure comedy.

Meola is screaming for a yellow, and I am all for that when warranted, but that replay seemed to show no contact at all on braid boy

 

and he was so busy talking over himself screaming for a yellow that he missed that it was either no contact or absolutely minimal contact

The ref is on it, this announcer is a giant pussy.

If your going to fake a head injury, or flop on minimal/no contact your ass isn’t getting the call.

Ronaldo brought the double team and left Pepe running free

Godin totally fucked up. He was so out of position to guard CR7 that he should have just jumped up behind him in case the ball went over his head. 

Just horrrrrrrrible.

What a breakdown there by Portugal. Just some shit defending. Yeah, don't keep track of Cavani. He's not that good.

ref is an equal opportunity no-caller, he wants everyone actually with broken bones or dead before he calls a yellow

Should have two refs on the field at all times. One on each half. Seems obvious.....
