forget all these minnows winning it. Would devalue the achievement of previous winners
one of the best things about the world cup - even though footie's a bit random, and it's a knock-out comp - only proper football giants have ever won it. Makes it more of an achievement to be one of them.
Therefore only one of the proper countries, please.
