This comes from my own analysis...
Teams with FIFA World players are likely to win or do well in major tournaments...
World Cup 94 - Brazil vs Italy (Romario & Baggio, though Romario got the award after it)
Euro 96 - Germany (this one I don't know)
World Cup 98 - France vs Brazil (Zinedine Zidane & Ronaldo, Zidane got it afterwards)
Euro 00 - France vs Italy (Zinedine Zidane)
World Cup 02 - Brazil vs Germany (Ronaldo & Rivaldo)
Euro 04????? - France??? Zinedine Zidane???
