Historical fact
Based on historical data, no team from Europe has ever lifted the World Cup outside of Europe. A host country of the continent finally won every World Cup except Brazil in 1958 when she won in Sweden. When the first World Cup on Asian soil, held in 2002 in Korea and Japan, the eventual winner was not an Asian country, but Brazil again. Asian countries were not ready to win, even though South Korea wasto close. These are the historical facts of World Cup in the last 100 plus years. Eight years later, do you think an African country is actually ready, ground lift the World Cup in their home? Tollkühn are the ones to bet against history.
Our approach is to bet on a South American country lift the World Cup again outside Europe, money in a country with African history to do something with, to a first.
The analysis of theTeams
Brazil to win often, and their chances are quite low at 4.5, but still good. Some money must go to them.
Argentina is the dark horse. Not many people give them a chance because they have a certain eccentric Diego Maradona at their head. You have wonderfully talented player available and I have the feeling that they all eat their words their critics by sticking in spite of all unwanted attention is Diego. Reminds me a bitItaly at the last World Cup. The Italians had a lot of trouble with team spirit, someone dies and so on. But they managed to use tool to be added to the team to get a bond to common effective Cup play football to win.
England will be assessed as usual. Fabio Capello is just them so far. The story is not good to be with this talented lot of players. Gerard, Rooney, Lampard, Terry has a good World Cup, but only to the semifinalsagain. I have a strange feeling that it goes out on penalties again. Guess who missed the decisive penalty?
My Portugal is famous go in round one this time. Too bad they are in the group of death. They are too dependent on Ronaldo. I'm afraid, Carlos Scolari is not this time. Anyway, apart from Ronaldo, the other players all mediocre.
I like the African teams. This World Cup could only be her. In the last World Championships, shehave been shown to the world, are sent to the talented and done the best. Remember, Roger Milla and Cameroon. Now with even more high-profile players in Europe and especially with better technical coach involved, and on their home soil, this could be the World Cup that new paths are taken. The first African nation to the ground, lift the World Cup on home? It is not South Africa, not with Piennar kind of player. The actualCaliber players are with the Ivory Coast and Ghana as well. Players like Drogba, Toure, Kalou, Essien are great players with great experience. You could just take the next big leap for African players.
As for the Asian teams, I think she had to have her. It is neither the time nor place to bring in another great performance this time. Teams underestimate their abilities in 2002. You will not make the same mistake again.
Spain. Sigh .... They have the lowest. Although talented,they fall short against the South Americans. Winning the European championship is one thing. Winning the World Cup against Brazil and Argentina is different. Moreover, they are not in Europe. Good luck to them.
Germany and Italy? Their era is over. Check out their league at the moment. Hard to imagine they come away with winners from Europe.
