They’re passionate about their football in Brazil. It won three times: 1950, 1962 and 1970 - gaining permanent possession of the Jules Rimet Cup. They have the best football team in the world. The only teams from Europe that have a chance are Italy and Germany.
I am hoping for Germany.
Brazil is no doubt the favorite, but Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium should be in the conversation. Portugal could be a dark horse with Ronaldo.
Definitely, the World's greatest sporting event. We have lots of soccer pubs in the DC area to watch the games with the plenty of knowledgeable fans. Great fun.
Spain? Holland?
