It has been a long wait, but the 2010 FIFA World Cup is literally just around the corner. The location for this World Cup will be South Africa; so who do people think is going to be victorious? Well I guess the first thing they can do before making a decision, would be to look at what history can tell us about the teams and make a decision based on that. A World Cup 2010 Forum is definitely the best place to have your views heard
Brazil is known to be a strong force in any World Cup, consistently finishing in the top percentage of qualifiers and winning on various occasions. In fact, Brazil are the team with the most overall victories, with 1958 being the first year they ever won. This sparked a huge career for the likes of Pele and Garrincha, who both managed to propel their team to a 5-2 victory against Sweden in an eventful game.
Just four years late in 1962, the next World Cup was in full swing. Eventually, Brazil found themselves in the final once again, this time against a hungry Czech team. The Czechs showed positive signs in the early going, but eventually lost 3-1. Whilst they missed the final in '66, they went on to qualify for the final in 1970, this time playing the Italian side. An impressive match saw a 4-1 win for Brazil, adding to their trophy cabinet.
It would be 1994 before Brazil saw another World Cup victory attempt. This time they would come against the Italians once more, hoping to repeat their previous performance. Of course, the Italians were on form, this time holding Brazil to a 0-0 draw. Unfortunately for them, Romario was on form, helping to rocket Brazil to victory on penalties.
Just 4 years later Ronaldo would become the top scorer for the team, acting as a catalyst for them reaching the final. A 2-0 win against Germany would make up for the fact that they lost to France in 1998.
Whilst no other team has shown as much dominance as Brazil, the likes of Italy have shown strength. They had a great run before 1950, winning the 1934 and 1938 World Cup. Their third win came in 1982 with Rossi being one of the main assets of the team, with the fourth coming not too long after.
Apart from this, Germany is probably considered the next best team. They took a win in the 50s against the Hungarians, with wins in 1974 and 1990.
Brazil, Germany and Italy have won a collective 12 World Cups in their time, showing a huge amount of force between them. Get yourself on a World Cup 2010 Forum and keep up to date with all the action.
