1998, when they defeated Brazil 3-0 in the Final at Stade de France. Zinedine Zidane scored two headed goals off of corner kicks, and Emmanuel Petit added the third goal just before time expired.
of course. Every team has a chance at winning.

So what is "Wavin' Flag"?
The official "Waka Waka" song is not to be confused with a song called "Wavin' Flag" by Somalia-born K'NAAN, which is the official Coca-Cola song.
In an interview with MSN.news, K'NAAN is careful to point out that:
"Wavin' Flag" is not the "official" song of the global soccer extravaganza. Still, he has a sense that it will ultimately be the tune that everyone associates with the event.
"There are a few World Cup songs. What I did is in fact the Coca-Cola anthem for the World Cup, so we can't really call it THE World Cup song."
In other words, you'll hear the former at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 World Cup games, but you'll be tapping your feet to the latter during many a commercial break.
(To hear both of these songs, and to read the interview with K'NAAN on MSN, see the Related links. And for other information, and to see an interesting video on the origin of the "Wavin' Flag" video, see the Related questions.)
THEY ARE just 1 out of all the 32 teams participating
while counting on a team to win the world cup, remember 1 thing-
the world cup is unpredictable
eg-Nobody expected Italy to win it last time, but they did.
However since SPAIN are favourites, I'll say that they have about 15-20% chance of winning.
Iker Casillas (Spain) received the Golden Glove Award, having been rated the highest rank in the list of top goalkeepers in the tournament by FIFA.
The 1994 FIFA world cup games were held in 9 cities across USA. They were:
1) Pasadena, California (The final was played here)
2) Pontiac, Michigan
3) Stanford, California
4) East Rutherford, New Jersey
5) Orlando, Florida
6) Chicago, Illinois
7) Dallas, Texas
8) Foxborough, Massachusetts
9) Washington, D.C.
You can not describe the popularity of this beautiful game. Given estimate is about 2.2 billion. All over the world, futbol is being watched everywhere.
