They played all continents except Oceania. It also happened in your lifetime.
If you get it answer via PM so as not to spoil it for anyone else trying to figure it out. Or post it with white color font so people won't see it unless they highlight your answer.

Unless you are very old (which I’m sure you’re not) the one instance I know of happened in your lifetime. I don’t think there are any other instances besides this one.

Ah I got it. I started thinking which opponents the finalists played since 1998 and it has to be Germany in 2006.

Group stages:
Saudi Arabia (8-0 ) - Asia
Ireland - Europe
Cameroon - Africa

2nd round vs. Paraguay - South America

QF vs. USA - North America


Now give me all your gold!

ps: I'm (much) older than the WC 1998 one, but I tried to remember all the opponents Argentina and Germany played in 1990 and then the ones Brazil and Italy played in 1994 til they reached the final, but I couldn't remember them all, so I started at 1998
