Lesson 3

Geography World Cup 2010
You will predict the World Cup winner through Geographical statistics!

The aim of the game is to predict who will be most successful in the 2010 World Cup.
This will be done by comparing the statistics of each of the qualified nations.
The countries with the most favourable statistics will have an advantage.
Can England win?

We will be comparing the following aspects of each country:
-Population
-Life Expectancy (Years)
-GNI per Capita (US$)
-Human Development Index
-Fifa World Ranking
Why might these factors put a country at an advantage?
