The 2014 World Cup will be the twentieth edition of soccer?s biggest event. The tournament traces its roots back to the year 1930 when the first ever World Cup was held in Uruguay. They went on to be crowned the first ever World champions at the end of it. That was not the start of a tournament, it was the beginning of a phenomenon that has now become ?one? of the most watched, if not the most watched sports event in the world.

The World Cup is held after a gap of four years and is sanctioned by the sport?s governing body FIFA. The only two editions that weren?t played were in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II. Over the years, it has provided the stage for some of the greatest moments in the sport?s history.

There are only eight nations that have been able to lift the World Cup in the previous nineteen editions. Brazil have won it on five occasions, the most by any country in soccer history.  Not only that, but they are also the only nation to have played in every single tournament.  Italy are second on the list with four World Cups and Germany third with three World Cup triumphs. Argentina and Uruguay have won it twice whereas France, Spain and England have got their hands on it once each.

Spain are the defending champions and they are going into the 2014 World Cup as the team to beat once again. Brazil have home court advantage while Germany and Italy will be tough as well, being there and thereabouts in major tournaments. Argentina, Portugal and Netherlands are being regarded by many as the dark horses, teams that have the talent to beat any other team on their day.

The 2014 World Cup will once again showcase all that is so great about soccer. It will give players the chance to become legends, to achieve immortality. The stage is now set and it is now up to them to cement their place among icons. If you are into soccer, then grab your 2014 World Cup tickets and make your way to the Samba Nation for an experience of a lifetime.
