The relationship of the economy with success in soccer does not follow a logical pattern. The sample is that the economy has not completely married with sporting success. Thus, Brazil is the most successful with five world titles; however, its workforce value (1,140 million euros) is the second while by GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita it is in the low bracket of the World Cup event. England is the most outstanding in terms of the value of its workforce (1,260 million) and GDP per capita (63,123 million), but it only treasures one World Cup in its windows.

They say that sport, in this case football, can equalize everyone. Although the data since 1970, do not just demonstrate it. The duels between teams from countries considered rich and those from the least favored, in the World Cup, show a favorable balance to those who have the most. Thus, of the 684, 301 (44%) have been won by the so-called rich, for the 238 (35%) in which the team with fewer resources has prevailed. 21% of the matches (145) ended in a draw. The 78 World Cup in Argentina was the one in which they were the most equal. The rich won 39 games and the poor won 37.
