Information of the Week

FIFA World Cup 2010:
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup that took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010. The 2010 finals marked the first time a European nation had won the tournament outside of its home continent, as well as the first time that two different European teams had become world champions in succession.
Spain got their first ever FIFA world cup.

Spain played a very nice game and has won the championship with a 1-0 victory. They played a very pretty football, and from the first half itself they tried to keep the ball on their side. We saw a very obsolete game from the Dutch team  and they were having the balls penetrated to their defence and in the end the game was over at the score of 1-0. Netherland did well in pushing the Spanish team.

The outcome was very dead certain, as once Paul the Octopus had predicted the Spanish will win, and thus the Spanish wins

 The 19 tournaments that have been contested have been won by eight different national teams. Brazil have won the World Cup a record five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament.

Titles by team so far:

Brazil – 5(1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002)
Italy – 4(1934, 1938, 1982, 2006)
Germany – 3(1954, 1974, 1990)
Argentina – 2(1978, 1986)
Uruguay – 2(1930, 1950)
France – 1(1998)
England – 1(1966)
Spain – 1(2010)
