None have really been convincing in the last 14 years since Brazil won in '02.... none apart from Argentina in 2014 of course, with that famous almost but not quite final against Germany.
Honestly though Brazil have been firing blanks, even after their re-structuring 4 years ago, Argentina need a complete overhaul and a team to work with Messi and not rely on him, Colombia are too inconsistent and dont have enough game changing players, same for Uruguay and Chile much the same.
I think with this new era of teams relying on one or two major stars and not exceptionally talented teams (like Spain), we just won't see dominance of certain nations like we did in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, maybe its a better playing field for the tournament as a whole but it is nice to see a flarey SA nation come out swinging and dominate.
The other, 'lesser' SA nations just don't quite have the talent through their squads to match the European or even African nations. Will a South american nation ever win the WC again?
*Note
Mexico is North American,my bad.
