There is a saying in football that “the English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it” and few would argue, particularly with Brazil rated as joint-favourites to win World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
This isn’t at all surprising given their pedigree, history and ability to continually produce outstanding players. Though Ronaldinho is struggling to get back into the team, they have Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Robinho to unlock defences and provide the goals in front of hard-working midfielders and solid defenders.
Spain are the other team be to installed as joint favourite for the World Cup. They have their best squad ever, with experienced and hugely talented stars such as Xavi Hernandez, Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres and David Villa.
Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Mexico, Uruguay, Honduras, and Costa Rica are the other teams representing Latin America.
