After some thought I think my bet would be on Brazil. Fact is no European nation will win the final, and Argentina barely qualified. I hate having to bet on Brazil but it's the most sensible choice.

oO

What are you smoking? Ruling out the european nations for the WC?

What are YOU smoking? I have said it multiple times. No european nation has ever won a WC held outside of Europe.

There's a first time for everything!

This, it's bound to happen soon. 

WC since 1930:

-10 times in Europe

-8 times outside of Europe

- European nation in the final: 16 out of 18 WC finals

- 9 European wins .... a European nation wins the WC 50 % of the time.

- The only South American nation to win outside of South America is Brazil. (Edit: Argentina won in Mexico)

Uruguay won twice I think.

Yes, in Uruguay and in Brazil.

Oh I misread your statement, I read it as something else. Very true bout SA teams winning outside of SA. My bet is still on Brazil. The Cup has been outside of Europe almost half the time and they didn't win a single one. I never said anythign about going to finals though. My bet is a Spain v Brazil.
