    In the modern era (i.e. post-1930), our firsts in this World Cup:

    -First time we've gone undefeated in the World Cup groupstage.

    -First time we've accumulated more than 4 points.

    -First time winning our group.

    -First time we've outscored our opponents in the groupstage.

    -First time we've scored 4 goals.

    -First time getting points and a win in the third groupstage game.

    -First time we've come back from a 2-goal deficit to get a result.

    Many of these are pretty significant milestones, particularly winning the group and going undefeated.

    Since, you know, 2002.

    Otherwise, good post.
