Germany, Europe or Brazil?

By one calculation this is Germany’s FIFA World Cup™ to win …..54 x 74 = 3996 – 1990 = 2006! By another calculation, the sequence of South America-Europe-South America etc triumphs since 1962 suggests the trophy is headed for European hands once more.
But what about this alterntive analysis: on a line drawn from 1958, reaching the peak of 1982 with Italy’s triumph, then coming back down to the present day, a remarkably similar pattern is transcribed. It leads to only one winner in 2006 – Brazil!
1958 = BRA
1962 = BRA
1966 = ENG*
1970 = BRA
1974 = GER
1978 = ARG
1982 = ITA
1986 = ARG
1990 = GER
1994 = BRA
1998 = FRA*
2002 = BRA
2006 = ???????
*European team wins the FIFA World Cup for the first time on home soil
