[edit] Improvement
What exactly does the article need? The chronological sequence sounds pretty complete...is there anything specific that should be added? Aabha (talk) 08:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Some World Cups get only a sentence or two, I'd like to see at least a reasonably sized paragraph for each. Oldelpaso 08:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brazil
"Brazil won the 1958 World Cup, held in Sweden, and became the first and so far only team to win a World Cup outside their home continent."
What about 2002, won by Brazil (again) in Asia? ChrisTheDude 13:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Brazil are still the only team to win outside their home continent. But as they've done it twice it could be worded less confusingly. Oldelpaso 14:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- ok, I've added a caveat. Oldelpaso 14:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
As long as we're including those two, shouldn't Brazil's 1994 win in the USA be mentioned too? JohnnyPants 07:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
