Or if you like numbers:
Brazil won the World Cup in 1994; before that they also won in 1970. Adding 1970 + 1994= 3964.
Argentina won their last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won in 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964.
Germany won their last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won in 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964.
Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962+ 2002= 3964.
Therefore to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we have determined: 3964. 3964 - 2010 = 1954. In 1954 the World Cup was won by Germany!
