How Uruguay won the 1950 FIFA World Cup...

Brazil losing the final but inspiring a young Pele has to be one of the great butterfly effects in World Cup history.

I'll never understand why fans celebrate a win before it's secured. Brazilian fans seemed to severely underestimate Uruguay in the final.

Wow india is very lucky.

I enjoy These video So much
You will be very much famous till 1978 world cup video. Mark my words

What an incredible story. England went in thinking they were the favourites and ended up with one of the the greatest losses of all time. 😂
Also India hold the record of qualifying and never having played a match 😂😂😂

The referee for the world cup 1950 final was English then 70 year's later in the Euro 2020 final England suffered a very similar fate that Brazil did in the world cup 1950 final England had reached the Euro 2020 final and they were playing at home Wembley against Italy everyone in England was already declaring England the champions before the final even began then during the final England scored a goal in the 2nd min for 1-0 Italy equalized from a poor goal in the 2nd half for 1-1 score remained 1-1 then Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties after both teams took 5 penalties each

As a African it pains to see no Africans quality 😂

At the time Brazil wore WHITE shirts but after the defeat decided it was unlucky and switched to the now familiar YELLOW

You got the wrong George graham there, I think 🙂

So, what you're saying is the "typical English arrogance" has been a thing in football since the first world cup they played in.

The biggest football tragedy on Brazil soil. People now think it was the 7x1 loss, but people killed themselves due to losing to a weaker and inexperienced team on the finals, after doing great at other stages.
Also, this loss drove many brazilians to believe that black man couldnot be legitimate goalkeepers and Barbosa died ignored by CBF and thought as a shame.
It was a disaster on humanity level.

Uruguay is 2 time FIFA world cup champions, but in actuality their 4 time world champions since they also won the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football/soccer tournaments which was organized by FIFA themselves. Both tournaments had professional players and it was for the idea and roots for the FIFA world cup.

Didn't the man who scored the winning goal for the USA get killed by the mafia?

Main lesson: Complacency is the last resort you have to deal with against opposition. Looking at you England and Brazil

The Real reason India didn't come because they want to play Football Barefooted . They always want a Special Treatment just because they can't play with boots . So Brazil and FIFA be like Don't come here pls

I had no idea that Pelé was blond as a young lad...😀
Seriously though, I love your videos. To this day, the 1950 WC win against Brazil is considered the highest moment of nationak pride for the Uruguayans. The players were revered as national heroes to their last day. On the contrary, in Brazil the players, particularly goalkeeper Barbosa, were ostracized for the rest of their lives.

usa 1 -0

Really enjoying the videos. Was curious why the Betsy Ross American flag from the American Revolution with the 13 stars for the 13 colonies was used instead of the contemporary one with the 48 stars for the 48 states in 1950. Just ease of design? Nod to the history between England and the USA? I have a production background, so I get interested in stylistic choices. Thanks again for the videos and hard work you put into them!

India refusing to play the world cup because they wanted to play barefoot is an urban legend. They just hadn't the money to make the travel and seeing it was at the time not an established competition they didn't bothered to try to get it.
FIFA tried to give the spot to Turkey but they refused too. France was approched too but it was way too late to reunite the team then so they refused.

During the WC, Brazil was so certain to win that a paper printed the brazilian victory before the match. It angered the uruguayan captain. He bough a bunch of copies, scattered them in the toilet of the hotel and told the players to pee on them.

Way later on his life, traveling to Brazil, a way too young police officer to have saw the match recognized him at the custom and they talked about the game saying than " Brazil still cries for that day. "

Barbosa, the brazilian goalkeeper, was marked with an red iron. 20 years after, as he was doing groceries, a woman recognized him and told to his young son " see. This is the man who made the whole Brazil cry "

After his career, Barbosa was blacklisted and forbidden by the federation to become a radio host for Brazil. In 1994, he was forbidden to pay a visit to the team before the '94 world cup.

He said before de died than " In Brazil, no one can get more than an 30 years sentence. I never killed anyone but I got a lifetime sentence."

1️⃣3️⃣ is a lucky number for uruguay. Uruguay is a very lucky guy in 1930 and 1950 as they were in most comfortable group as well as home ground advantage in those world cups.
At first 1930,they had to play final with only 3 matches where argentina played 4 matches, they robbed in semifinal using home ground advantage. 😂😂😂
Secondly in 1950, uruguay were put a group where only 2 teams existed, whereas brazil surpassed to next round playing 4 matches. Consequently uruguay won the cup playing with just 4 matches where poor brazil played 6 matches though they were so far from the glory.
In that two particular world cup edition, total team was 13.😅😅😅

How it the video editing tool named? I saw this kind of editing more often. great video series! keep up the good work!

I've heard that the reason India didn't compete in the world cup was because they wanted to save their money in order to compete in the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Finland, which was more affordable to travel to

This is one of the most stupid World Cup formats I've seen. Is there a reason why they had a group of 2 while also having two groups of 4? Would have made much more sense to make one group of 4 and two groups of 3

Big difference in population good job by Uruguay
They still are very good

Uruguay had Andrade/Varela/Schiaffino - all time greats.

1950 is so underrated all because of WW2 and unusual format they used.

England losing to the USA must be one of the greatest shocks in World Cup history.
