  1. Every World Cup hosted outside of European time zones has been won by a South American country. Spain's 2010 win in South Africa is the only time a European nation has won outside of Europe.

     

    1930: Uruguay - won by Uruguay

    1950: Brazil - won by Uruguay

    1962: Chile - won by Brazil

    1970: Mexico - won by Brazil

    1978: Argentina - won by Argentina

    1986: Mexico - won by Argentina

    1994: USA - won by Brazil

    2002: Japan - won by Brazil

    South Africa has the same time zone as Europe so point still right. Climate is similar to europe aswell.

    We simply stayed up last season, having given the incumbent manager 3 years to cut his teeth, and to be fair until he left we looked like we could go down. We now have a rookie manager, have not made siginificant investment in the squad and have a large number of new players; Could you explain why you would automatically expect progression?

    We get a new squad every season. I would rather not have rubbish season after season. Yes we might improve next season but who is to say we will. Lee Johnson has proved nothing so far. I will accept we have played well so far. I hope things click soon but you simply don't know. We need results soon before the fans turn on him. It's a results business and we need them quickly.
