    what do you think, is there a possible chance that spain can win it, and break the unwritten rule for the world cup 2010

    you know the RULE

    WC only can win one of the "top 4 + host"

    the top4 are:

    germany
    brasil
    italy
    argentina

    They'd also have to break the Euro theory, no European team has ever won a WC outside Europe.

    True!!

    Brazil has a GPD of 1,313,590
    Holland has a GPD of 768,704

    So Brazil has way more money then Holland, hence they can bribe!!!

    Top four at what point? Now or when WC starts, or is that top 4 never changing. By the way Uruguay 1950 they won in Brasil. Were they top four given they had not competed since hosting in 1930?

    Without looking into history to deeply Spain are looking good to take the 2010 WC. Germany are history just like Otto, the biggest hype merchant ever to post on the internet.. Smile

    And what about the world cups before 1962? And Uruguay 1950 breaks the top four/hosts hypothesis as well.
