True..., the patern is, if it's held in latin-america then the team from latin-america won the cup, if it's held in europe then the team from europe won the cup, but this is the first time that the worldcup will be held in Asia, so there is no history record yet.
I would say the chances is 50:50, but england a litle bit above the other, couz' :
1. they have a very best soccer league in the world,
2. their graphic match in an increasingly performance, especially during the qualification.
3. they have world quality coach (Sven Goran Errickson)
4. their players are in the top age performance.
5. good team work and orginaziation (proof during the qualification)
6. and not forget to mention that according to my chinesse friend, 1966 is the year of the horse when england won the cup, 2002 is also the year of the horse, you know the rest...fengshui stuff
