No, the overtime is part of the game for these purposes. Only penalty
shootouts do not affect the records.

But neither of the lists you posted below equates Argentina to England.
I will quite easily admit (because it's true) that Brazil, Germany and
Italy have been better than Argentina over the entirety of the World
Cup. But, to me at least, it is equally evident that Argentina is
ahead of England.

Some additional colour.

>> SF appearances (or eq.):
>> 10 Brasil/Germany

Brazil: 5W,2R,2,1 (50% W, 70%F)
Germany: 3,4,3,1 (30%, 70%)

NB: I have 11 SF for Germany, I am not sure what I am counting that
you are not. (I am not including 2010 in this list and I think
neither are you).i

>> 8 Italy

4,2,1,1 (50%, 75%)

>> 4 Argentina

2,2 (50%, 100%)

>> 2 England

1,0,0,1 (50%, 50%)

And to complete this list:

4 Uruguay
2,0,0,2 (50%, 50%)

5 France
1,1,2,1 (20%, 40%)

And on 11 SFs, Germany is 27% and 64%, but that's just being pedantic.

No, the runners-up from the other two South American
groups.
