The one thing that bugs a lot of football fans is the fact that it is not very often a tournament is played. The first tournament was in 1930, which was a huge focal point at the time. Since this point, a tournament has been played every four years. Of course, this is with the exception of 1942 and 1946, as the World War was taking place at the time.
The competition starts with something called the World Cup finals, which is where 32 teams battle it out in groups, with the top runners from each group qualifying and the rest going home. Generally, this part of the competition will last somewhere in the region of 3-5 weeks.
1930 was not the first international football event. In fact, in 1872, Scotland and England played a game in Glasgow, which sparked a lot of interest. This eventually led to the British Home Championship in 1884, which is when other countries began to show their interest.
As this has a four year interval, the volume certainly is not there, with only 18 competitions played. Brazil were the most dominant of the seven winners, taking home five 1st place trophies. Italy were not too fair behind with four, and Germany have managed three so far.
Other winners include the likes of Uruguay and Argentina, both of which have managed to score one top prize. England and France have managed just one trophy. Check a World Cup 2010 Forum and see what everyone thinks about this year’s tournament.
Get this for a fact; in 2006 the World Cup was held in Germany. According to Statistics, around 750 million people viewed the final, and this year is likely to be so much bigger than this. June is just around the corner – so get ready!
