June is set to be an extremely exciting month for Football fans, when the 2010 FIFA World Cup will finally take place in South Africa. It has been an extremely long wait, but it is now just around the corner. Of course, people are already thinking about which team will win, but history proves that there are a certain bunch of teams that have showed some dominance, so could continue to dominate this year. A World Cup 2010 Forum is going to ensure you keep in touch with all the latest developments.

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 24 years before their next victory, again, attempting to repeat the performance against the Italians. It was an uneventful game, ending 0-0, with Brazil eventually taking the win on penalties. This is something that is discussed in detail in a World Cup 2010 Forum.

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.

Apart from this, Germany is probably considered the next best team. They took a win in the 50s against the Hungarians, with wins in 1974 and 1990.

Brazil, Germany and Italy have won a collective 12 World Cups in their time, showing a huge amount of force between them. Get yourself on a World Cup 2010 Forum and keep up to date with all the action.
