The 2010 FIFA World Cup is finally just a stones throw away, and it is shaping up to be one of the best competitions to date. The reality is, a lot of teams are going to have their work cut out to try and get a trophy, mainly due to the fact that five teams have now won the Cup on multiple occasions.

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
Just four years late in 1962, the next World Cup was in full swing. Eventually, Brazil found themselves in the final once again, this time against a hungry Czech team. The Czechs showed positive signs in the early going, but eventually lost 3-1. Whilst they missed the final in ’66, they went on to qualify for the final in 1970, this time playing the Italian side. An impressive match saw a 4-1 win for Brazil, adding to their trophy cabinet.
It would be 1994 before Brazil saw another World Cup victory attempt. This time they would come against the Italians once more, hoping to repeat their previous performance. Of course, the Italians were on form, this time holding Brazil to a 0-0 draw. Unfortunately for them, Romario was on form, helping to rocket Brazil to victory on penalties.
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.
Italy is another team that has shown some strength over the years. They won in 1934, managing to successfully defend this title in 1938. After this they managed to score big in the 1982 World Cup, eventually taking the win and have managed to pick up a fourth victory since then.
Germany has also showed some form over the years, taking three wins in total. This included their most recent wins in 1974 and 1990.
This makes the combined wins between Brazil, Germany and Italy to a total of 12! Get on board and show support at a World Cup 2010 Forum!
