Going back to the past 50 years 10 of the last 13 world cup tournaments were won by Latin Countries.

What is it about the Latin style of soccer that makes them so dominant?

The world cup is not a great indicator of soccer prowess. It is every 4 years meaning World Cup play misses prime years for many players(and injuries). Many of the best players in the world’s team do not qualify, do not get out of group play because the surrounding players are not up to it or they are just from a smaller country. Over the years the best players in the world have never played in a WC final.

Then there was the formate of the WC. It depends on what region you play in. Brazil(and Argentina) are almost guarantee to make the tournament. While in Europe some very good teams get left out. Some good teams get stuck is a death group while other teams play against cupcakes. Lastly over 50 years soccer has evolved. Saying a country won the WC 36 years ago shows dominance in soccer is rich. The game has moved on.[/quote]
