The Sixth Group's long-standing curse
The article pertains to a strange phenomenon in World Cup history: since Spain 1982, no team that started their campaign in Group Six has ever won the tournament. Despite the participation of strong teams such as England, Portugal, Morocco, Germany, and Croatia, none of them has succeeded in becoming champion after beginning in Group Six, despite some teams' efforts to stand out—like Croatia, which reached the final, and Morocco, which advanced to the semi-finals. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, the opportunity to break this peculiar "curse" arises once again. The new edition's Group Six includes teams like the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia, raising the question of whether this long-standing bad luck can finally be shattered.
