First World Cup final ever, 1930 Uruguay-Argentina

[By-Tor]

Almost everyone can name the 4 nations that have won multiple World Cups and have played numerous times in the World Cup final: Argentina, Italy, Brazil and Germany... the football Superpowers... but very few people know that Uruguay has actually won two football World Cups as well. The first one, 1930 final game has been documented here. I thought it was a nice little video.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link.

Uruguay were defending Olympic champions from 1928 and were acknowledged to be the best side. Up until then, the Olympic event determined who was the best.

Their win in 1950 was more of a surprise, as Brasil had hoped to win on home turf. I don't think the Brasilians ever forgave them that.

Auto download of codecs did not work on either WMP or VLC.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
