The 2010 FIFA World Cup is finally just a stones throw away, and it is shaping up to be one of the best competitions to date. The reality is, a lot of teams are going to have their work cut out to try and get a trophy, mainly due to the fact that five teams have now won the Cup on multiple occasions. Check a World Cup 2010 Forum and find out all the news and views of other people.
In any recent World Cup, it seems that Brazil is one of the top contenders, and that has been the case over time. They have qualified and ranked highly on many occasions, with multiple wins in the past. To date, Brazil has managed to win more World Cups than any other team. It all began back in 1958, when they managed to obtain their first win. This was a fantastic show, weakening the Swedish team early to get a 5-2 win.
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.
It would be 24 years before their next victory, again, attempting to repeat the performance against the Italians. It was an uneventful game, ending 0-0, with Brazil eventually taking the win on penalties. This is something that is discussed in detail in a World Cup 2010 Forum.
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.
Italy is another team that has shown some strength over the years. They won in 1934, managing to successfully defend this title in 1938. After this they managed to score big in the 1982 World Cup, eventually taking the win and have managed to pick up a fourth victory since then.
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.
