Broke a sequence after going down to the Krauts in the past 2 WC Finals appearances.

Anyone got a list of the former world champion winners? I reckon they have come from more different continents than the football WC.

Actually, from wiki:

Continent Best performance
Asian 5 titles, won by Pakistan (4) and India (1)
European 5 titles, won by Netherlands (3) and Germany (2)
Oceania 2 titles, won by Australia(2)
African Fourth place (Kenya, 1971)
Americas Sixth place (Argentina, 1986)

Our first WC win for 24 years. Strange for such a nation with such a strong Hockey pedigree.

Congrats Aus. At this rate you guys will have all the trophies with the WC label on it soon and monopolized.
