Right now if you were to engage in a conversation about soccer world cup winners the first thing that is going to be on everyone’s mind is how Spain is the current champion over Holland. They are going to talk about how they went into overtime and won a blazing victory of 1-0. Although it was a very sad loss for Holland you will find that it was definitely a sweet sounding victory for Spain. It was a fight to the end and the game at times seemed to get a little dirty.
But when you look back at some of the other winners in the past you will find that some of those teams fought just as hard and are able to say that they are the soccer world cup winners more than just once. Take for example Brazil and the fact that they actually won a total of five times. That is saying quite a bit and the fact that they managed to stay in the group stages 18 times. This is a team that is managed to be reckoned with and the last win was in 2002.
But let us take a look at the team that won the cup 4 times and the last win was in 2006. We would be talking about Italy. This is a team that managed to stay in the group stages 16 times but unfortunately they were out of the group stage in 2010. Although they have been the soccer world cup winners for several years, they did have a lapse when they won in 1938 and then they did not win again until 1982. This shows that it takes a lot of hard work to be able to accomplish such a win.
