Comeback of the 2014 World Cup:
While Germany has emerged as the winner of the 2014 World Cup, the comeback of the 2014 World Cup was achieved by the Netherlands. On 29 June, the Netherlands trailed Mexico by a goal after the 87th minute, but scored in the 88th and 94th minutes to defeat Mexico by a goal. In the history of World Cup games from 1930 through 2010, inclusive, teams down a goal after 87 minutes (such as the Netherlands) had a game record of only two wins, 271 losses, and 20 ties for a 0.7% historical victory probability and a 7.5% historical non-losing probability.
