World Cup History – The Biggest Winners
May 26th, 2010 -- Posted in health & beauty products | No Comments »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.
1962 was the next time Brazil natives saw a similar performance, a performance that truly showed their dominance and skill. They managed to challenged the Czechs early in the final, and eventually took a 3-1 victory. The successful final did not come until 1970, where Brazil would face Italy, who did well to knock out the Germans in the semi final. Eventually Brazil was victorious in a spectacular fashion with a 4-1 win.
Unfortunately for Brazil it would be a full 24 years before they reached another final. The weird thing for Brazil was, they would actually come up against Italy once more. This was certainly not a repeat performance though, with Italy holding them to a 0-0 draw, although Brazil went on to win based on penalties. Most World Cup 2010 Forum boards are talking about past events as we speak.
1998 was a tough year for Brazil, where they managed to reach the final, but eventually lost to an extremely strong French team. Of course, they came back strong in 2002 with a win against Germany, the 2-0 victory eventually putting them as champions.
Of course, there are other teams that have done well. Take Italy for instance, they managed to win in 34′, 38′ and also in 1982, not to mention their most recent win, taking the total to fourth.
Germany is also known for showing strength, beating a Hungarian team in the 50s. They went on to win in 1974 as well. One of the most spectacular wins would have been against Argentina in 1990, where Germany managed to grab their third win with 1-0 victory in the final.
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.
