They winning it in different continent. 1958 in Sweden, 2002 in  Asia. Non European countries ever did that when they won the World Cup, it's always in their continent.

The first world cup was held in (and won by) Uruguay.  The first match of that tournament was France vs Mexico

France clearly played the better game in 1998.  One word, Zidane.  If anything, Brazil had the easiest group.  They were lucky to beat Holland in the semifinal.  They shouldn't have even been in the final game.\n\nI do not think Germany has enough good players to get to the Final.  They will lose to Holland in the semis and Holland will beat Brazil in the final.  Germany will beat Spain (easiest path in the whole cup until they play Brazil in the other semi) in the third place game.

if u mean in general its Italy they won the world cup 4 times , French only had one world cup . They both had a great legends such as Blatini and Paolo Rossi .\n\nin the Last World Cup : Italy was better , cuz in the semis they beat Germany 2-0 while France beat Portugal by a penalty . in the final France score again by a penalty  \nFrance tried to score a goal but the Italian defense and the GK r the best ever .\nin the 1st 2 games France couldn't win SUI or Korea and in the last 2 games France wouldn't score without a penalty.\nsome of the French Fans here would say that after the world cup in Sept, France won 3 against Italy but they forgot that Italy played with the 2nd team,\n\n\nyu5uf have u forgot that ur an INDIAN ? and if u want to mention the 2008 qualifiers lets not forgot that France lost to Scotland , remember they didn't even reach the world cup.STOP INSULTING PPL .\n\n\nto trekkervilla r u saying that Brazil didn't deserve to win 1994 ??? and if its a shameful thing as Blater said why dont they just cancel the rule ? its not the Italy fault and its not their fault that the game went to shoot out it must have end 1-0 but the referee gave a wrong penalty to the French.

At the 1998 World Cup final, home side France faced sleeping Brazil in a one-sided match. Young forward Ronaldo was hyped to be Brazil’s main offensive threat but was denied by the physical French defense. After the final, it was reported that the Brazilian might have been sick during the match. In reality, Rivaldo was much more effective throughout the tournament but remained in the shadow of his young teammate. The entire Brazilian midfield line looked asleep as the French led by Zinedine Zidane outperformed them in every way. Zizou himself headed in two nearly identical goals. Emanuel Petit contributed too, ensuring the final 3-0 victory for France. Most fans viewed the game as "Brazil's loss" rather than "France's victory". As absurd as it may sound, Brazil's Silver medals were viewed as a failure back in their homeland.

Actually, that game finished 3-0. And If Brazil's minister donated millions to France, then Brazil would have won. That is all a lie spread because nobody expected Brazil to lose so badly. The truth of the matter is that France dominated, and deserved to win thanks to Zidane.

wow - that's cool ;)\n\nalthough there is an error in your logics:\n\n- for the winners of 1994, 1986 and 1990 the logics are correct, as you added the year the winner won and the year the winner won the last time\n- but for the winners of 2002 and the possible winner of 2006 there is an error: you should continue your logics by adding the year the team won and the year the team won the last time, so for the 2002 winner the total is (2002+1994 = 3996; 2006+2002 = 4008, so it cannot be brazil)...\n- also, your logics don't work for argentina (1978+0 = 1978), italy (1982+1938 = 3920) and france (1998+0 = 1998)\n\nbut here's something interesting for you (as you seem to be a fan of brazil and i'm a fan of italy, lol):\n\n- brazil took 24 years to win their 4th world cup (1970-1994) and who won the 1982 world cup? - italy...\n\nmay the best team win ;)

I thik you must be right. It was nice of the other teams to let them win the World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, and more than likely 2006. What a kind-hearted world we live in.

THE 1998 CHAMPION OF THE WORLD CUP HELD IN st.dennis,\nFrance was the host country of France....\nThe beat Brazil in the finals...3-0\n\nThey played the best that summer...............

Yup, the answer is England in 1966, when they were hosts, and France in 1998, when they similarly hosted the World Cup.\n\nAs for Uruguay, they've won it twice in alternate years. (1930 and 1938 I believe). As for Spain, they haven't even won before so I don't know why in the world Jiya suggested them.

I really do not know why they haven't. but one thing is sure, Brazil do have a great team any day any time. The reason it could go their way this time is that they are ranked the best in the world, presently. Secondly, they have character and the discipline to win it in Germany. But i do know that they have the home team to contend with. Nevewrtheless, they have done it several times outside home.\n\nThis world cup might not be different from France 98.
