1916: Cancelled because of WW1. 1928: The game in the consolation tournament between Netherlands and Chile ended 2-2 and the former won by the drawing of lots. I have counted this game as a draw as it was not decided on the pitch by play (i.e. for example penalties) 1932: No olympic football tournament was held. 1940 & 44: Cancelled because of WWII. 1960: The semifinal between Italy and Yugoslavia ended 1-1 and the latter won by the drawing of lots. I have counted this game as a draw as it was not decided on the pitch by play (i.e. for example penalties). 1968: The quarterfinal between Bulgaria and Japan ended 1-1 and the former won by coin toss. I have counted this game as a draw as it was not decided on the pitch by play (i.e. for example penalties). Teams that have played under more than one name have the earlier one within brackets.
