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.

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)

Wow, it's world cup time again? I remember watching the last one quite clearly. Makes me feel old.

My money for the winner would probably go on Holland or Spain.

Tell me about it... I still remember '94 vividly. The best World Cup ever I hear, definitely of the ones I have seen.

I remember the '94 final. I was also in France during the '98 world cup and Japan for the '02 world cup so I remember those (and funnily enough, neither time I actually went there because of the world cup).

But I thought it was strange thinking about the '06 because I remember some of the matches as though they happened just a couple of months ago, it's hard to think they took place four years ago. It made me feel as though four years have just shot by.

Of course I'm going with Portugal.
We got excellent players such as the worlds nº1 Cristiano Ronaldo, also Quaresma that plays on manchester united.
David Luiz, it's a new kick ass player.

Uruguay won twice I think.

Yes, in Uruguay and in Brazil.



 

i love how everyone ignores Germany

2nd place on WC2002

3rd place on WC2006

2nd place on EC 2008

Germany is probably the strongest european nation after Spain and could easily defeat england 5-0

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.
