World Cup 2010: The Countdown Begins



The day before the World Cup games officially kick off in South Africa June 11, soccer fans are scrambling to place bets on who will make it to the final round. Most analysts are currently placing their wagers on a Spanish v. Brazil final, with Spain taking home the World Cup for the first time ever. According to FindTheBest.com, Spain has never even taken home third place, but the ramped up team is expect to come out blazing this year.

Of the starting 32 teams, most sports analysts predict the top 10 teams will include:

  • Spain

  • Brazil

  • England

  • Argentina

  • Holland

  • Germany

  • Italy

  • France

  • Portugal

  • Serbia


It’s interesting to see that none of the big names that have historically turned up in the finals—like Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina and Germany—are expected to take home the Cup.

In predicting a World Cup winner for 2010, it’s important to take into consideration past World Cups to see any team trends. The past five World Cup winners include: Germany (1990); Brazil (1994); France (1998); Brazil (2002) and Italy (2006).
