South Korea made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in 2002 with a very determined and skillful team.  Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are all quality teams but have not had the experience of advancing far into the World Cup.  That said, Japan is probably the best team of the group and are very exciting for their fans.

The first WC was won by Uruguay. The other 6 teams are Brazil, Italy, Germany (as Federal Republic and united country as well) Argentina, France and England. The only great national team to never win a WC is Holland, not even when Croyff played.

At present, the 1970 Brazilian team is thought of as the best. So far, I have seen nothing of this 2006 team to show they are as good as that one, but they certainly have the potential to be.

Egypt have reached the FIFA World Cup™ finals twice. In 1934 they were the first African nation ever to achieve this milestone, playing only one game  against Hungary - which they lost 4-2.\n\n\nIn 1990, the team qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals again, putting up a memorable showing in Italy. With their innovative style and quality technique they managed to hold both the Netherlands and Ireland to draws, losing only narrowly to England, who went on to reach the semi-finals.

It was Dino Zoff who captained Italy to the glory of the world cup in 1982.\n\nDino Zoff (born February 28, 1942) is an Italian former football goalkeeper and the oldest ever winner of the World Cup as a captain of the Italian national team in Spain in the 1982 World Cup. With 112 caps, Zoff is second only to Paolo Maldini in number of appearances for the Azzurri. He also worked as coach for several Italian teams, but is currently unemployed.\n\nZoff's greatest feat was in the 1982 World Cup, where he captained Italy to victory in the tournament at the age of 40, making him the oldest ever winner of the World Cup.

You want a list?\n1. The 1970 FIFA World Cup passed without a single player being sent off\n2. Pelé returned after vowing never to play in another FIFA World Cup and Brazil won the Jules Rimet trophy outright with a near-perfect team including Clodoaldo, Gerson, Rivelino, Tostao, Jairzinho, Pelé and Carlos Alberto.\n3. Brazil won for the 3rd time and "kept" the Jules Rimet trophy\n4. Italy had beaten West Germany 4-3 in an astonishing semi-final, the only match in FIFA World Cup history to have produced five goals in extra time.\n5. Jairzinho becoming the only player to have scored in every match\n\nEnough?
