.... I was born in March, so I've no idea what (if anything!!) inspired my parents to get jiggy around June 1965 .... it certainly wasn't the world cup fever !!
I've read that also Tony, on a different post about no European country winning it in south America (No reason to dispute it) I agree about a south American Country although not the greatest Brazilian team I'd have back them on their own turf.
Arksided & tonyav; both correct, though there have been 5 European runners up on South American soil. One of the reasons why i am on Uruguay (each way @ 33/1) who should get out of Englands group with ease.
