Who Will Win FIFA World Cup 2010?
Its really a shocker when we came to know that Brazil lost to the Duch team. We thought atleast Argentina will make it to semis. But the goal by the Germans in the first five mins was shocker again. But still we though that Argentina can level the scores. But again a surprising results.

Now Uruguay is the only Latin American country in the semis rest three viz: Netherlands, Germany and Spain are the European countries. Going by the history of the World cup, European countries won the world cup if the hosting country is also an European country. Now the host is South Africa which is a non-European country. So can the Europeans break the jinx of their winning streak.

For the Latin Americans, Uruguay is the only hope which won the firt FIFA world cup in 1930 (Uruguay hosted the first world cup) and in 1950.
