Parity has not reached the World Cup

In the last 50 years, there have been 12 World Cups. That's 24 teams in the Finals. Here's the list:

England

Germany

Brazil

Italy

Netherlands

Argentina

France

Spain

24 Finals spots. 8 Countries. 

Germany six times. Brazil four times. Italy four times. Argentina three times. Netherlands three times, all in the losing column.

4 out of the 12 were won by the host country.

All-time, Brazil, Argentina and Spain are the only teams to win it all not on their home continent. 

All-time there have been 19 Cups that have only been won by 8 countries. Subtract Netherlands and add Uruguay from the list above.
