Footy Brain Food: Brazil World Cup Trivia Two
• Only two continents – Europe and South America – have won the FIFA World Cup • Eight nations have won the World Cup
Brazil - 5
Italy - 4
Germany - 3
Argentina - 2
Uruguay - 2
France - 1
England - 1
Spain - 1
• Europe has the edge 10-9 in FIFA World Cup titles. • No European nation has ever won a World Cup hosted by a South American country. (Granted, they’ve had only four chances.) • Spain was the first European team to win the World Cup away from their own continent.

Footy Brain Food: Brazil World Cup Trivia
Brazil has played in every World Cup.
Of the 19 World Cups so far, Brazil has won 5.
All five of Brazil’s championships have come against European countries.
Brazil is 2-0 in World Cup finals against Italy, the nation with the second-most (4) World Cups.
In the 2010 World Cup, Brazil failed to make the last four for the second time in a row.

Estádio do Maracanã, site of the Brazil 2014 World Cup Final
Classic venue tracing back to the 1950 World Cup. Amazing to think that, at several big games through history nearly 200,000 people once fit in here.
