wcukirke - "Fifa as always"\n\nI sincerely hope you were joking.  \n\nAdidas will be providing the gear, but I have to go with Mastercard or Yahoo! as the main sponsors.  Have a look at the linked site.

The World Cup is the largest sporting event besides the Olympics, where 32 nations compete in the game of football (soccer according to Americans) in order to determine the world cup champion.

Callum H - it was Rijkaard who started the spitting!\n\nI think Holland. It's the English who enjoy beating us more than we enjoy beating them. Two World Wars and One World Cup and the like...\nThere is a current TV ad for the world cup computer game which shows pictures of main streets in Berlin all in orange and dutchmen victoriously parading the streets. The caption then says: Holland is going to win the Cup. Only you can stop them. and the internet-address is something like stoptholland.de

The World Cup is a huge sporting event and thus attracts many companies worldwide. In terms of profitability, I don't think many companies become profitable as a result of the World Cup...It is more a marketing and advertising ploy in hopes to boost revenue and sales...with that being said...the firms I would look at are: Adidas, Nike, Mastercard, Yahoo!, Fujifilm, Gilette, Avaya, Deutsche Telekom (which in US is T-Mobile), McDonalds, Toshiba, Emirates, Hyundai, Avaya, Coca-Cola, and Philips to name a few.

Brazil holds the record with 5 World Cups to their belt.\nItaly, Germany, Argentina, follow with 3 World Cups each.\nThen England, Uruguay, France with 1 World Cup to their name.

The world cup is most likely to go to Brazil or Germany. I think it could well be Germany because the always seem to perform at the world cup despite peoples missgivings and they are on home soil, with FIFA always giving the host nation an easy route through the competition, they may be able to avenge last time.

Brazil are the current holders, as well as the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times, while Germany and Italy follow with three titles each

The most likely candidates are Brazil and Germany. Brazil and the host nation have both won five world cups. In this case, the host nation Germany has won the World Cup three times.\n\nThese teams played in the finals last time. \n\nThey both are in good form as the favourites for the World Cup are:\n\n1. Brazil\n2. Argentina\n3. Germany\n4. England\n5. Italy\n\nIt is likely that the winner will come from these five teams.

Countries have to bid to host the world cup - members of the various football associations around the world then vote for the country they think will provide the best world cup - often they vote for the country they have most affiliation with - I don't think Brasil have bid that often.

Fédération Internationale de Football Association \n\nIt was founded by Jules Rimiet, hence the French, and the original world cup was called the Jules Rimiet Trophy, Brazil won the right to keep it when they won their 3rd world cup in 1970. It was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered
