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.
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.
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.
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.
The total between all three teams (Brazil, Germany and Italy) is now 12! Check out a World Cup 2010 Forum to keep up to date with all the action.
