Many small countries cannot afford to take part in international sports.  And, if a country is small enough, it may not have all that many athletes at the world class level.

That World Cup was played in Chile and Brazil beat Czechoslovakia in the final, 3-1, with goals from Amarildo, Zito and Vavá. Josef Masopust scored for Czechoslovakia.\n\nBrazil set a record that year, being the World Cup winning team that used the least number of player - 12 (only used Amarildo after Pelé got injured).

Tough question. I'm going to guess... youngest team has to be 1958 Brazil. Oldest team might be 1982 Italy. Hope I'm close.

Countries have to bid to host the world cup, like cities do with the Olympics.  As far as I know the only future WC set for now is South Africa 2010.

Hmm..that's a toughie.  I believe it was the last world cup that France was second place.  Yet Mexico in the last year has become pretty good.  I would have to say Mexico, they have excellent players, such as Borgetti who played really well in another world championship, and they also have a pretty good goalie, Sanchez.  So, my answer would go to Mexico.
