well, Brazil hosted the World Cup in 1950 and didnt won. In fact, its the only World Cup Winner that never won a World Cup at home. (Uruguay 1930 (1st title), Italy in 1934 (1st title), England in 1966 (first title), Germany in 1974 (2nd title), Argentina in 1978 (1st title) and France in 1998.
with exception of Germany, all other world cup nations won their first cup at home. France is the only one that only won at home at their second home World Cup.
if Brazil wins in 2014, it will be our 6th (or 7th, depending on South Africa) title and the first at home, on the second time we host a World Cup.
