Anecdotes of World Cup

After 1930 and 1950 won the championship twice, Uruguay played for the third time and remained invincible. They competed in the "Old World" for the first time, and they had a chance to win the championship for the third time, so that the trophy would be owned by Uruguay forever. However, this did not come true-the audience watching the semi-final between Hungary and Uruguay can think that they are watching the match between the old and new champions. Puskas, Hidegkuti, Kocsis and their teammates have won the Olympic champion at 1952, defeated the English team 6-3 at Wembley at 1953, and now beat the former world champion in overtime. However, the final was an incredible game. Germany not only caught up with two goals behind, but also beat Hungary 3-2 and won the first World Cup for Germany.

On June 26th, 1954, the quarterfinal in Lausanne set an unprecedented goal record. Switzerland used to lead 3-0, but Austria finally won 7-5. The hot weather cost the host Switzerland.
