Viliyana Filipova — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:02:03 +0000

Semi-finals! In one measure is met – Hungary beat Uruguay to 4:2. But attention! – After extra time. Well, though the opponent is not anyone Acting World Champion is at this moment. Experts said there is no cause for alarm. Kochi – 2 goals, and Hidegkuti Tsibor of 1 are still alive to curse the enemy and just secured another 30 minutes “bread” for the spectacle of journalists and other … And what do the Germans? The largest among them – the brothers Fritz and Ottmar Walter in 2 times, and Schefer Morlok once “sting” Austrians “to death”. Particularly unexpected but fully deserved the loss from Austria – 1:6. A view of the German team began to change not by days but by hours … Approaching the finale. One team is clear as the sun, like everyone predicted – Hungary. Deserted him “Puskas wolf”! Natrashka herd the whole world, including unexpected sacrificial lamb for the final – Germany. Are deposed world champion and runners-up. Hungarian czardas “admired by football lovers around the world. The names of the gun, Tsibor, Kochi, Christmas, Hidegkuti, Groshich are already legend. Is it worth to play this “excess” finale? Does it make sense? Yes, there is a sense! Because the unpredictability of football is proven once again because they are the Hungarians are the worst play czardas in their lives. But before that, Austria gets to third with goals from Stoyaspal, and auto of Ocwirk Cruz – Uruguay 3:1 against and ultimately the world ahead of its predecessors from Vundertima. Goal of “urusite, as well as the semifinals is Hohberg. Before 65 000 spectators Hungary and Germany are ready to begin … They begin. Vortical! In the 8th minutes the score was already 2:0 for the Hungarians. Nobody is surprised. Jules Rimet still is now ready to award the cup in the hands of the author of the first goal, captain Puskas. But, as if the team against Hungary is not the same who was defeated by 3:8 2 weeks ago. Germans have an extremely concentrated in defense and not miss even the smallest chance of his first. In the 16th minute – 2:2. Morlok and Ran. The bulls run amok and start a rush. Hit the post, Turek, the German goalkeeper miraculously saved once, twice, three times … Kolmayer painfully killing of goal-line. Finally the goal? No! Ambush of a gun. Nothing! There is enough time everything came into place. But that time comes. No! It comes, but not for Hungary. At 84 min the hero of this final match, Helmut Rahn, “stole” the ball from the feet of Lantosh with great jester sends it to the network of Groshich. This is no time! Germany won its first World Cup. Hungarians today do not believe they lost that final. That they are Olympic champions from 2 years ago in Helsinki (2:0 in the final against Yugoslavia), that are broke to pieces all over the past 4 years … not even a consolation. Shame! “Hungarian Rhapsody” remains unfinished. First brothers in the history of the world, brothers Walter and Co. promise “Ode to Joy” … And yet – the Hungarians at that time will remain forever in the hearts of people as one of the greatest teams in the history of football and there will always be people like me who will relay the story from ear to ear and from century to century. And that’s comforting, right? Big! Some, but not a joke, say in Hungarian history and they have the same names – Franz. One leaf, and the other … Puskas. Genius footballer. With equal ease he attributed to “throw” passes from 5 to 55 meters, to dribble, to shoot “velvety” to mercilessly bombed. There is no unique and universal left leg in history than that of the Hungarian charmer. On top of that, he was also born leader. Hungary has not had and probably will not have such a football monster (actually, the words that I wrote about a gun, with a clear conscience and I wrote them against the name of the genius of Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov, but let’s not irritate the Bulgarian half mankind!). Footballer N1 of the 5th World Cup championship was Frederick (Fritz) Walter exceptional “obershturmbanfyurer” and soul of the Germans and the Hungarian N 3 ‘terminator’ Kochi Sandor, who is also the top scorer of the championship with 11 goals goals in 5 matches. With 6 goals Morlok (Germany), Probst (Austria) and Hyugi (Switzerland) 2.4 divided among ’shooters’. This world will go down in history as a triumph of offensive football. 140 goals were introduced for 26 matches. Peerless record!

And this is her final four! Brazil and Uruguay from South America, Spain and Sweden in Europe. In one game each against all, they will decide “who’s best man, who svat! In the first 4 games things look disguised. While “Urusians” is completely tortured with representatives of the Old Continent – 2:2 v 3:2 and Spain v Sweden, the famed” Carioca “straight” analyze “their rivals and beat them to fight – with 7:1 v 6:1 and Sweden v Spain. With his brilliant technique and speed Zizinyo, Ademir, Zhair and others just have fun and prepare for the triumph of Brazil, which are all firmly convinced. Feast has already begun, even the newspapers “rotate” Circulations with huge headlines’ Cup is ours! “We are World Champions!” Just a formality Forthcoming last match with the “losers” in Uruguay. Nobody and I do not even think to put “one of the mind. Hey So just in case! In this euphoria Match for 3-4 place passes quietly. In almost theatrical atmosphere, both completely ignored the “euro” and teams are not trying very much. However, the Scandinavians are mobilized and show a little more dignity – 3:1. It should be noted only that if the match ends in a draw was the third would be “Iberians”. But who cares about you! The finals! More precisely, the last match in the final group. Stadium-giant Maracana in Rio de Janeiro (the largest in the world), specially built for the World Cup IV, spluttering at the seams. 205 000 viewers (so this is nearly a quarter million), “bubbled” like a volcano. Throughout Brazil is preparing to likuva!. “Golden” versus “blue sky”. Brazil-Uruguay! How much history, how much charge is behind this clash? But today, 16 July 1950., The battle for lights crown. For the tip! For the first and last time, at least so far in World Cup history between these 2 teams. And lo – the match begins. No time for jokes and banter. More from the first whistle “Urusians” are thrust into its criminal field. “Carioca” attack constantly. Precise combinations, strikes everywhere, beams, incredible saves itself goal line, Maspoli was “crucified” on the door, but the first half ended, but not naked! Immediately after the break, the Brazilians stay in front of the enemy and only after 2 minutes Fiaka already tough – 1:0. Delight of the crowd is not subject to the description, but earth scientists, if any, must have been amazed seeing how your appliances’ going crazy. The Uruguayans were resigned to their fate silver. But no! Comes 66th minute with his first attack (more than an hour after the game?) They netted! Schiaffino is accurate. Although equal score makes Brazil the champion, hosts do not stop the attacks. Overwhelming desire to reward his compatriots with victory seemed to mislead them and they do not pay serious attention to counterattack the Uruguay, May getting more often. And in the 78th minute irreparable happens – rapid Alcide Chigiya right wing, better known as Gidzha, the surge in flank, made a false movement, centered if you will, and without looking at the door, folded with acute stroke sent the ball behind back of Barbarossa, ie network. Throughout Brazil dumbing! In the remaining 12 minutes until the end of the match, all Uruguayans go back and build such a line of defense (masseur) turnips to eat) that none of the Brazilians failed to seize it. The final whistle – 1:2. Unbelievable but true! Throughout Brazil is deeply grieved! Maracana only be suicide are two, three were stricken by a heart attack. How many are in the country, no one hires to say. Real national tragedy! (In the future, at least 2 more finals (1954 and 1974) will be very unexpected turn of events, but in both cases would be in favor of a nation, which says: “We can consider them to be dead if their head is separated for at least 3 meters away from the body! “So, in my opinion, the outcome of the match to decide the title IV of the World Cup in 1950. is the biggest sensation in the history of world football finals.) for the second and so far last time in history Uruguay has its world champion! In the temple of football in Brazil! But you know who is a prophet in his own homeland? And there somewhere in a small town, it’s called Three Hearts, a minimum of 10 year old boy sitting next to the radio and weep bitterly. Grief, of rage! In the small heart is empty and deserted, but in his head nestling “dangerous” thoughts. Of thirst for revenge. This guy says Edson, but all relatives and friends call him Pele … Now the most important characters are different. IV player of the World Cup is called Juan Alberto Schiaffino. Don Juan, so venerable turn to him the first man and his homeland of Uruguay, and then in the second – Italy. Color with a pale face and expressive features, with its finesse and elegance is more like an intellectual than a footballer. And he was actually on an intellectual terrain – director of the game. Schiaffino, along with Andrade (Andrade son of man, the hero of World Cup) are the most substantial contribution to the title. Huge impression with his brilliant technique, sense of improvisation, the required dose of cunning and insidious attacks made strong and Brazilian phenomena Zizinyo Aledmir and Marquez, who is also the top scorer with 9 goals. Goladzhiite second place with 5 goals and share Schiaffino Spaniard Basora.

France 1938 – The Finals

We and the distribution of medals. In the first semifinal of Hungary, Sweden – 5:1 result is logical and fully respect the superiority of the Hungarians. Zhengeler their star is out of control – 3 goals, one more added Sharoshi and Titkosh. Swedes apparently reached its ceiling at this World Championship, are pleased bronze achieved almost without effort, you know that less and enjoy having children and Honorary its goal of its author Niberg. In the second semifinal win Italians – Italy – Brazil – 2:1, but years after this talk that the largest of their “trump card” has been … Swiss judge Vutrizh, SH exists to give 2:0 and closed eyes to flagrant violation of the other door at 2:1. (Remember 1994 – semifinal Italy-Bulgaria – 2:1. Kinyu French judge. And slaughter to which we submit it Devil’s spawn. Without quotes.). Anyway, last year and will Brazilians will avenge. 2 times! In the match for third place, the Swedes with a halftime lead of 2:1. Normal. Brazilians not yet got the bitter of injustice. In the second half, however, simply because, from the game, Brazil introduces single 3 goals against a strong physical, disciplined, but unimaginative Sweden – 4:2. Small consolation for spoiled! And here it is – the big finale! Again, as before 4 years, against one another are 2 European teams. Again, one is Italian. In previous matches “Madjare, however, are much more convincing and most present were confident in their victory. And players are convinced of Hungary – I feel strong and fresh. But! Always a “but.” Hungarians hopes to be lost, because Italians surprise this game with aggression and tightly cover all parts of the ground (now call it “fresh”). Something previously unknown. But what they think of all these strategies of the “adzuri” already in 2 consecutive championships? Who is this genial “director”, which worked so well with their strong and weak scored exact location of the opponents? This is coach Vittorio Potso – one of the most successful in the history of football: 2 times World Champion (the only one in championship history of the World Cup) once and Olympic champion, and within just 4 years. High famous, intelligent, diligent and brave (and God loves brave). To return to the game. In the middle ground Italians by Lokateli Serantoni and, together with the giants in the game Meatsa and Ferrari have developed a real magical quadrilateral, and controlling not only the ball but the pace of the game, but forward “arrows” and Piola Kolausi are “sharp and very precise – 2 “dozens” in the target. Hungarians are also worthy finalists and contribute much to the wonderful spectacle. Finally, as Italy won the final with a fully deserved 4:2 and for the second consecutive time world champion. In his welcome them in a way that will long be remembered – just as the Roman Legion meeting, led by the emperor after winning a war. Player Number 1 for the championship was Silvio Piola. They call it “divine.” Certainly knew how, where and when I found myself on the ground to end the most important job in football – a goal celebration. But this attraction, which gave the world, called on his name, is truly a gift from God. How you sound Zengeler Hungarian name? Least as juggler, right? It is the truth. Hungarian footballer is N 2. Among the magicians from Brazil at the turn makes “black diamond” Leonidas to Silva who is a goalscorer and a world championship with 8 goals. Further classification is in reverse order: 7 goals – Zengeler and 5 – Piola.
