Of course France's effort in the 2002 World Cup, as defending champions, was pretty poor too...they were eliminated in the pool stages without scoring a goal.
Yes, but I'm inclined to give Italy the nod even so. With the exception of the thirty or so minutes they let Andrea Pirlo play, their game (or lack thereof, more like) was truly a thing of horror.
The next Rugby World Cup is in 2015 and the next Rugby League World Cup is in 2013 (both hosted by England). And of these 3 teams, England near always goes best at the football world cup, so they may well hold the triple crown in either 2015 (if they win the football WC in Brazil) or 2018 (if they win in Russia).
I don't think England has any real chance of winning either one, though 2018 is admittedly a long way off still. Nevertheless, they'll most likely do better than both Australia and NZ.
New Zealand is the greatest footballing nation in the world

The All Whites did impress the world last year, true.
