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.
Brazil have been dominant for years and it with their strength of their team continuing to snowball over time, it is likely that will continue. They have done considerably well in the past, having multiple wins and in fact, more wins than any other team. The first win came back in 1958. This was the year they faced the Swedish side, but eventually put them to bed with an impressive 5-2 victory
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 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.
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.
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.
