What is the World Cup?
The World Cup (or, more accurately, the FIFA World Cup) is an international
association football competition involving the men's national teams of the
members of FIFA, the sport's global governing body. The championship has been
awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and
1946 when it was not contested because of World War II. (Thanks to
Wikipedia).
Italy won the 2006 World Cup. Who will win this year?
