World Cup & Countries
The World Cup is all about being the best team in the world and every team that plays in this competition is striving to get this coveted title. The World Cup takes place every four years and is one of the most fiercely competed competitions.
Countries such as Brazil and Argentina are ranked among the world’s best teams with Germany, Italy, England, France, Holland, Spain and Portugal also often fairing well. The latest holders of the cup are Spain who won the title as the world’s best team in 2010 at the South Africa World Cup finals.
To qualify for the World Cup, teams must play in qualifying matches that run over the two years leading up to the World Cup. Teams from places such as Africa and Asia often pose less of a threat than those from South America or Europe but African teams are slowly working their way up to a more competitive level.
The World Cup is watched by millions of people all over the world every four years and the next one is due to take place in Brazil. The host country of the following World Cup in 2018 is yet to be announced but England look set to launch a huge and promising bid to be hosts.
