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 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.

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.

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.

Germany has also showed some form over the years, taking three wins in total. This included their most recent 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.
