World Cup History - The Biggest Winners
June is set to be an extremely exciting month for Football fans, when the 2010 FIFA World Cup will finally take place in South Africa. It has been an extremely long wait, but it is now just around the corner. Of course, people are already thinking about which team will win, but history proves that there are a certain bunch of teams that have showed some dominance, so could continue to dominate this year. A World Cup 2010 Forum is going to ensure you keep in touch with all the latest developments.
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.
A few years later they were back in business, or so they thought, eventually losing to France after an impressive battle. No harm was done though, as in 2002, they managed to beat the Germans to become champions after an impressive 2-0 performance.
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 has also showed some form over the years, taking three wins in total. This included their most recent 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.
