Ok to answer my own question, if it comes down to being Champions of the World then the answer is Brazil (5 wins).

But just for fun if you were to total up the final 4 finishers in all the previous finals (giving 4pts, 3pts, 2pts and 1pt for the last 4 places) it would look like the below;

W 2ND 3RD 4TH PTS
GERMANY 3 4 4 1 33
BRAZIL 5 2 2 1 31
ITALY 4 2 1 1 25
ARGENTINA 2 2 0 0 14
FRANCE 1 1 2 1 12
URUGUAY 2 0 0 3 11
HOLLAND 0 3 0 1 10
SWEDEN 0 1 2 1 8
HUNGARY/CZECH
0 2 0 0 6
ENGLAND/SPAIN
1 0 0 1 5
POLAND 0 0 2 0 4
AUSTRIA/PORTUGAL
0 0 1 1 3
USA/CHILE/CROTIA
/TURKEY 0 0 1 0 2
YOGOSLAVIA 0 0 0 2 2
USSR/KORIA 0 0 0 1 1

Gotta be Germany. Of the last 8 WC's finalists 4 times [winning once], semi-finalists another twice. :agree:

According to a spanish paper I bought this morning in menorca has brazil as the all time number on eworld cup team. Germany are second, Italy third, Argentina, England the spain. I can't tell you what they base it on as it is in Spanish and i bought it as a souvenir of the Spains win before returning home.

Etats Unis.

Estados Unidos.

USA indeed. Use the plural of EU, to avoid confusion with Europe.
