Viliyana Filipova — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:10:31 +0000

The finals! At the National Stadium in Santiago collected just 68 679 spectators. Against one another are the world champions Brazil and surprise “the championship of Czechoslovakia. Game begins in. .. new surprise: the Czechs coach Rudolf Vytlacil (only after 3 years he will lead a national of Bulgaria, will coach the Sofia and Levski) has replaced the “concrete” with the normal schedule and even with an emphasis on attack. Brazil, albeit with a new coach (Aymore Moreira) has the “Swedish” version. Well, the left wing, Zagata is pulled back slightly in the middle line and the scheme has become figures 4-3-3, but the game has no perceptible change. Technique, pleases the eye, effective football. In the 15th minute, playing his 50th game with the national jersey, Josef Masopust results found for the Czechs. Well, no! Another surprise came to us “little much”. After 2 minutes of offensive Amarildo small corner funny the student with Shroyf – 1:1. Over half second Czechs are already only a counterattack, but Brazil is not “Candice”, while by Zito and Vava not bring things up to something very familiar – 3:1 for Brazil! Likuva nation again. Threat: “There is no sense to come! We will not give anyone the Cup!” is executed. Pele plus eight, which is naturally part of a huge joy, pride with his second title. Zozimo, Mauro Amarildo … are champions for the first time. Happiness of the players and millions “torsida” is deserved. Congratulations! And thank you for the beautiful football again.
The hero of this World Cup is Manuel Francisco dos Santos – Garrincha. “The bitter joy of the people!” Why “joy” is completely understandable: Manet was an unsurpassed master of improvisation. He always plays for the people. Intoxicating them with its stunning art on the green “scene.” It certainly was, and there are good players, but none has enjoyed such spontaneous affection nationwide. And why “bitter”? So that his behavior is not at all, but at all “exemplary.” Garrincha refers to his wife and numerous daughters (namely 11 per unit). Allow them to the arbitrariness of fate and zalyubva highlighted by singer often type who sticks around in pubs, like noisy companies … “Spent” won everything, but it is not less Hich. The genius of dribbling lived 50 years (1933 – 1983). Sent a crowd of thousands: poor, abandoned by relatives and friends of spilled alcohol and cigarettes. But gave his heart and soul. People enjoyed his football talent and grieve with them their giddiness. Receive love, which is not given to everyone.
Second in ranking is loaded Suarish Yes Souza – Amarildo, the deputy of Pele! And to successfully replace the King – well, that’s enough. I can not mention and Edvaldo Izidio Net – Vava – the only one in the world, scored goals in the semifinals and finals of two consecutive World Championships – a total of 6. Just earn place in history. And the glory! By Europeans, the most impressive mule Josef Masopust. At the end of that in 1962 he will receive the Golden Ball for the first time among the first in Europe. Deserved! And finally: this is the only World Cup in history without outstanding goal scorer – 4 goals in 6-pax record players: Brazilians Garrincha and Vava, Chilean Lionel Sanchez, Drazen yugoslavyaninat Yerkovich, Hungarian Florian Albert and namesake of the USSR Valentin Ivan

Chile 1962 – Group Stage

Viliyana Filipova — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 16:00:04 +0000

In the first group of European teams relatively easily eliminated their South American rivals. One is Colombia and dropping them adopted quite normal, but the other is a double world champion Uruguay. However Uruguayans are already familiar with Roman “Sik Transit Gloria Mundi” and thus far have not reached to the other: “Everything flows, everything changes!” But Europeans are not and what is a European champion runners-up the USSR and Yugoslavia. (Only 2 years ago in the final of European Championship, they lead an epic battle among themselves – 2:1 aet). Floating even Olympic champions of Rome – 1960 (after 3 consecutive lost the final of the Olympic Games, finally has a title Yugoslavia – 3:1 against Denmark). But in his first game here against the USSR – 0:2, clearly have not forgotten, and felt the “handbrake”, then definitely “the gear” – 3:1 and 5:0 against Uruguay against Colombia. After a strong start, “Sbornaya” slightly “stalled” with 4:4 in a good game in which Colombians stalking some 13 minutes “hibernation” Russian “Bear” Lev Yashin and his “shuffle” goals 4 goals. Against urusite “playing superiority of the Soviet Union has more than its digital terms – 2:1. Moreover, the first match in this group is Uruguay – Colombia – 2:1. Who knows, it is actually soothing?
In the second group of sensational lapsed Italy, which seemed virtually decided to prove that a bunch of stars gathered in one place, do not star team. Italians, by old habit, are naturalized Brazilian Jose Altafini – Mazzola, world champion from before 4 Todi and Argentinians Enrico Omar Sívori ( “Golden Ball” for 1961), Somarni, Maskio. Here are Cesare Maldini and Gianni Rivera … “The highlight in this group is the Chile-Italy match – 2:0, turned in an ugly spectacle. “Corrida” in which it knows who is and who is bull – bullfighter. Who’s wrong, just what I do not know, but the fact is that within months it is very hard to be Italian in Chile. At least, for being in shop windows hang important inscriptions: “The Italians do not sell!” “Easier” is in the pharmacy: “… the Italians sell sulfuric acid and cyanide of potassium !”… The first group is the team of Germany, which led him to his old tested method: the muscles and “enema” – Italy with 0:0, 2:1 to 2:0 with Switzerland and Chile. The hosts are second and jumping in 1 / 4 finals after 3:1 against retro-mania. In the last game: Italy-Switzerland – 3:0. I thought “adzurite, but later – Mandate slammed.
In the third group, identical to the Italians, “burst tire” their cousins, the Spaniards. In fact, are flat and the 4 of their tires. Iberiytsite seem threatening: They have made “their” fellow “stars” Alfredo Di Stefano (Golden Ball for 1957 and 1959) and the hero of Argentina than 8 years ago – Ferenc Puskas of Hungary?!, But not! Here however, Brazil. In his first match, “Carioca” by crossing the Express – a small station in Mexico – 2:0, but then failed to break through the “concrete” of Czechoslovakia. ends in a draw – 0:0, but actually experienced … great loss? For Pele lost. He is severely injured, and by the end of this World Cup will not play another minute. The most disputed, but the most beautiful is the third match of Brazil: tough but sweet (and totally deserved) victory Spain with more than 2:1. You can tell that the “golden” are still invincible, but one of glitter 58 is Sweden `ponamalyal – colors are poizbledneli. Brazil has one, but others see how you doing: what deviousness, what falls and getting God? Results: Czechia, Spain – 1:0, Spain, Mexico – 1:0, Mexico-Republic – 3:1. (This last game will remain in World Cup history with the fastest goal. date is June 7, 1962 in 27 seconds. Until recently it was believed that the “record-breaking” Bryan Robson has shot the door of France June 16, 1982 in 27 seconds. But after an analysis of the British BBC film excerpt was shown Vaclav Mashek of Czechoslovakia sent the ball into the door of Mexico in the 15th second. And if we take account of the strike Galtieri (San Marino) v England (1:7) on November 17, 1993 (Do not stand, whenever mention that date. Remember I: Paris – Parc des Princes “90 min Bulgaria – 2 – France – 1), detected in the 9th second of the beginning of the game, appears a new fastest shooter, but in the world qualifiers. quarterfinals are On “thrust” of Czechoslovakia. Before you tell about the events in our group to warn you: I will try to be somewhat impartial on “our” and “our.” I’ll be very difficult, because “strong love, reverence and treasure all Bulgarian and native “, but I will try …
So: in the fourth group of the absolute debut of Bulgaria is presented even above expectations: minimum loss and zero Argentina 0:1 home draw with England football. I almost forget about the humiliation of Hungary – 1:6, but to Hungarians we have long suffered and have become even less masochists – somehow love to beat us! (Nobody else we had been so often and as much as Hungary!). However, we did not dry heptane – Georgi Asparuhov – Gundi they scored once and this is our first World Cup goal. Here are the names of these brave Bulgarians who passed “partinata: D. Naidenov Rakatov K., I. Dimitrov, S.. Kitov, D. Dimov, P. Velichkov Diev T., D. Sokolov, Chr. Iliev, Y. Yakimov, I. Kolev, D. Asparuhov N. Kovachev, D. Jechev D. Kostov, D. Dermendzhiev. Al. D. Kostov. Coach: D. Pachedjiev, assistant: K. Chakarov. These guys are already tight for the long journey to their homeland, but suddenly e Argentinians for their rapid-fire in the Andes after a transfer to England 1:3 and 0:0 with Hungary.

Chile 1962 – Qualifications

Viliyana Filipova — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:09:15 +0000

When the FIFA Congress in Melbourne in 1956, assigned to the household of Chile, many are, to put it mildly, surprised. All believe in the interest and enthusiasm of the Chilean public, but not in the ability of small South American country name ruthlessly capsicum, located in the foothills of the Andes, to organize such a big event. Moreover, when the May 21, 1960, exactly 2 years and 9 days before the World Cup, comes the big tragedy. Cool earthquake spare nothing and no one in Chile. The implications are terrifying. The whole world sympathizes of Chile, all countries can help with anything. Only holding the World Cup is in doubt, but Football Federation chief Carlos Ditborn supported by the most eminent people in Chile, headed by the president, said: “Do not give up!” Golden Nike “where players will fight, lhave become a symbol of our faith, the angel of our nation, arousing optimism days after the tragedy. ” I. .. Chile is doing! The show, called World Championship, gets high marks. Is an excellent financial result. Figure of 3.5 million dollars very impressed Sir Stanley Rose. Englishman is now head of FIFA, after the death of his predecessor, Arthur Dryuri in 1961
Qualifications already a tradition. Surprises, too. This time, with folded tails “remain” silver “Swedes and” bronze “Frenchmen. Coryphaeus of this sport are shocked, especially by the abolition of Fantasy. “Executioner” of “Gallic cock is BULGARIA! Landmark date for the Bulgarian football is December 16, 1961 Before that we had defeated twice Filandiya with 2:0 as a guest and 3:1. Our loss in Paris with 0:3 is not decisive, because the Regulation respecting only the points won. The younger you can not remember, but older long will tell how long, literally at the last second of the match in Sofia, Hristo Iliev (Patrata) sent two teams to the barrage of neutral ground (seeing how long you started “habit” of frantsuzite fall of in this way). Time I mentioned it, but the place has stadium San Siro in Milan. So there, “rip your head off the cock and literally (Nikola Kovachev – Brick emerging from the tunnel to the pitch, he sees hundreds of shelters cocks – the audience of 80 – 90% has French – over my head and I don ceremony is one of them ) and transmission (the only one, but the winning goal for Dimitar Yakimov – Duties in 47 min) effect. Bulgarian visas for Chilean champion will forever remain in the golden pages of our football history. For the first time “capital will mess with the big final round of the World Cup. Then we will become ‘thorn in the side “because” hands “will make it a tradition …
World Cup in Chile seems to be one of the most interesting collections of the best players and teams in the world. Among all competitors, which Nike has allowed it to “seize” at present (and some twice). And Uruguay, and Italy and Germany again “roll leagues, but remains a big favorite Brazil, which is almost the same composition, which causes a real furore in Sweden 4 years ago. And whether, “the owls are not what they are? Let’s see! (As we like to say a popular TV presenter.)

Americas World Cup hopefuls

Viliyana Filipova — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:15:35 +0000

USA and Mexico are both currently considered 80/1 propositions at 888sport, the world’s leading online bookmakers, to win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They are certainly the only real chances for the North American teams at the World Cup.
Both teams have had interesting World Cup histories. The Mexicans have often been considered serious contenders for the Cup but in recent times have failed to win games at crucial times in the competition. The Americans on the other hand have always entered the World Cup as outsiders but have had a few campaigns where they have unexpectedly made it to the finals.
The Mexicans probably appear to be the better bet of the two as they showed far better form over their northern counterparts with an impressive 5-0 drubbing at Giants Stadium back in July. The Mexicans will need the striking power of players like Castro and Vela and will rely on world class players like Dos Santos to steer the team.
Both of these two teams will need to have favorable draws and will more likely than not be fighting it out with three other sides for the last place in their group. Much comes down to the draw in the World Cup and it is part of the theatre of the event. The seeding works in a strange way and you can quite often end up in a ‘group of death’ that makes it very hard for middle ranked teams to progress.
The other team from the region is the team from Honduras. 888sport has them as 500/1 outsiders and you would expect them only to be making up the numbers in South Africa.

Sweden 1958 – The Final

Viliyana Filipova — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:12:57 +0000

However, VI World Championship has an official finish. For joy! Against one another are the most decent. So far – no loss, with only one draw. Deserved! Something curious: Sweden and Brazil are the only ones in this World Cup, playing with golden-yellow shirts. One of them will have to come up with a backup team. “Short stick” falls on the Brazilians. They will play in blue. Is it a bad omen? Swedes have already secured the silver – previously unknown success, unique and never thereafter. But the appetite comes with eating and more in the 4th marks Lihodolm minutes – 1:0 for Sweden. Will the miracle? … No! Against Tre Kronur are stood not only 11 excellent, great players (Brazil has always kidded inimitable masters of the leather ball), but also a superb team. Improvisation are subject to a lean organization in the game of the composition, skillfully led by coach Feola outside and “playmaker” Diddy inside. Dual attacks are not an end in itself, a path to successful implementation of total superiority. Soon the result was equalized by Vava, then again he displayed his first. After the break came the turn of Pele. His performance in celebration of the third goal (goalkeeper transferred to an external shock folded by air – fantastic “drop sheet”) and now appears as cinema textbooks in football, but so far no one has repeated. Mario “Lobo” ( “Ant”) Zagata increased to 4:1. Swedes do what they can, to defend with honor, even counter-attacked, occasionally – Simonson reduces the difference, but shortly before the end Pele again no mistake – 5:2. Brazil is the champion of the world. After 5 ‘attempts to fly “at last the greatest in football is in the highest float freely, gently, beautifully, naturally! Brazilian-born is a legend. She parades around the world with clarions already 50 years for great joy and pleasure of all. Ideraldo master Bellini takes the Cup. After him and others. First kiss with Golden Nike “is not never forget. A nation falls into euphoria, no! a nation falls into insanity, a nation crying with happiness. Date of 29 June is declared a national holiday. Fighters accompanied the presidential plane, which is harvested characters. In Rio millions of them welcome. Chanted the names of their favorites to fit. These names will remain forever inscribed in golden letters in the folk memory. Brazil celebrates its first big victory. There will be more … A player who is “in the most? Brilliant dribbler, with lightning fints, folded master stroke (his patent was called. “Incident” or “drop sheet” of a direct free kick – remember Stoichkov and his goal v Germany in the World ‘94) measured at mm feed, the author of goals to remember for years – that’s Valdir Pereira, known to the world as Didi. He was elected player of the VI N 1 World Championship. And why? Because the most prominent representative of those first to figure out that the ideal individual technique of the player is worth nothing unless it is subordinated to the collective. And with a sense of strategy, immediate assessment of the situation on the ground and making the right decision, Didi became a “director” of success in the operator of the one ahead of its time, Brazilian football computer. A Pele? He even arrived in Sweden as anyone unknown to Edson Arantes Nasimento and leaves with World Cup glory. Until 17 years! Will become the greatest footballer on the planet Earth. Should it some time. Garrincha And yet his time had come. Wait only 4 years. We will mention two names: Nils Lindholm – one of the legendary Swedish trio – “Gre-No-Li and Raymond Kopa – one of the major French players of all time. A teammate Zhust Fountain is incredible ‘58 Cvetovnoto top scorer with 13 goals unique. Another record unsurpassed before, and now and probably forever. Far behind with 6 goals and finish the tournament Pele man brought the world title for Germany 4 years ago – Helmut Rahn.

Sweden 1958 – The Introduction

Viliyana Filipova — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 06:03:42 +0000

Turn of South America to organize the World Cup, but time passes and no candidate and no. Running aid of good old Europe again in the face of Sweden. Nobody is opposing, and contrary to the elite hitting Scandinavia. Subsequently, it appears that the choice of FIFA has hit in dozens. Green fields and forests, crystal lakes, tranquility and comfort of Sweden as finalists make the stay pleasant and quiet. To add to all this wonderful conditions for football, which offers this time of year (June) short Swedish summer. For summer, these latitudes, I asked one Swede: “You know here you have a real summer – hot, muggy?” And he slightly offended, replied: “What do we have to, it was people? On June 22 from 7 am, and all the way to 19:30 in the evening!” Just between these 2-championships (1954-1958) died Jules Rimet (24.10.1873-15.10.1956). International football movement lost its great shape. Rarely, cultural and civilized, extremely loyal to the game, he is the president of FIFA from 1921. and will remain in history as the man with lots of love, and twice more tenacity, overcoming enormous difficulties of any kind, creating a true miracle – World Cup. As a token of appreciation and respect for him, still alive in 1946. delegates at the FIFA congress unanimously decided to name the World Cup, better known as the Golden Nike “in its name. Sounds a bit authoritarian, but a fact – until 1970. official name of the World Cup is “Jules Rimet Cup”. And something interesting – from 1960. and a European Cup. Bowl, which received European champions, called “Henri Delaunay Cup”, ie named after the faithful follower of Jules Rimet and long gene. FIFA secretary Henri Delaunay. And: “Father” leaves her baby (alas, no one is immortal), but it is not helpless, poor and hungry orphan. On the contrary! Turned in young, healthy body, vibrant force of boiling energy. Following the legacy of “Daddy, will continue forward with confidence and become very vibrant, rich and successful. Baton of Jules Rimet took Dryuri Englishman Arthur and his first job is to split the British teams in different qualification groups. Four Nations football seize it for the first time (and only appears) appear en bloc to the finals in Sweden. England debutants Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland and the World Cup itself is allocated in the 4 preliminary groups, but their movements “anblok” will be there (the finals will be squeezed, and that “needle in the ear” only debutants) . VI debut this World Cup will make another team – not any, and the Olympic shampion of Olympic Games in Melbourne ‘56 – Soviet Union (USSR-finals of Yugoslavia – 1:0). From now on, though not built on the peak itself (but will be the first European champion in 2 years), The Team of “Sbornaya” will be a tangible factor among the very elite to its dissolution in 1990. And we? Bronze medalists are of that Olympics (in 1 / 2 finals losing to eventual champion USSR only 1:2 in overtime, but the 3rd place fight with India 3:0), but failed again to get to the World Cup. One of the great “black cat” for our football Hungary again crossed our path – 1:4 and 1:2. Still achieve its first victory in the World Cup qualification – 2:1 against Norway in Oslo. A Grom Norwegians in Sofia with 7:0 and this is our biggest victory of all time. What else happened in those turbulent years of football at nearby BETWEEN sound, but had nothing Switzerland Sweden ‘58 and ‘54? Disintegration is a great team of Hungary! After the attempted revolution of the Hungarian people in 1956., Colossi like Puskas, Kochi, etc. Tsibor. And all youth team en bloc is as wasted chicks, emigrated across (and “white”) Europe. Naturally were condemned as traitors of the socialist elite in their home country (Thank God those times have remained in history). This is the end of a glorious and a great team. Will appear different, even great, but there is Hungary, which remained uncrowned. Meanwhile, a real tragedy struck English football. At the airport in Munich plane crash in which the team travels to Manchester United. The greater part of the “Busby babies” as they called the youngest team at the time, killing and depriving the world of bright talents such as Byrne, Taylor, Duncan, Edwards … Survive, however, coach Matt Busby and Bobby Chartan youngster, who has been destined to become the greatest English player to emerge and new “babies” and “Manchester United will rise like a phoenix from the ashes … As the favorite for the title seems to be France. Kopa, Fontaine, and other Piatoni win victories and played in a way that impresses. Not seen any decent competition: sensational lapsed Italy and Spain – brilliant individuals have failed to organize a good team. World Champions – the Germans are not convincing in our events. The hosts are also quiet. Only Brazilians come Atlantic talus threatened, but nobody believes them. They talk about some kind Garrincha, Pele, Vava … but these are unknown players. Some experts put the account and the USSR, and England, but are skeptical about the capacity … What else between it and V-VI-Does it? What was born is the most popular club tournament in the world – the European Champions Cup (Champions League) today – “Champions League” (first final: Real Madrid – Paris Reims – 4:3). It has been established and most prestigious individual award for player of the year N 1 in Europe – the “Golden Ball” in the newspaper “France Football” (First winner: Englishman Stanley Matthews, later honored by the UK with the title “Sir”). You receive a trophy and club ‘Cup panaitnite cities, now the UEFA Cup “(first final in 2 matches: Barcelona, London – 2:2 and 6:0 in the spring of 1958.). And as for the cover: borning is a white world and myself (18.04.56). VI-th World Championship has already begun. The first group (UK, USSR, Austria, Brazil) was “Iron”, as connoisseurs. Somewhat surprisingly, however, one of the times it is too easy. After a smooth victory against Austria with a 3:0 to the Brazilians ahead of their match against England (in his first game England have made a rather challenging and effectively draw against the USSR – 2:2). Before the match, the famous journalist Joao Saldaña (it will be the coach of Brazil in the 1968-69g.) Goes to England coach Walter Winterbottom, and tells him: “Sir, today we will debut Mane Garrincha. It is right wing. Bet that if within 10 minutes after the start of the match does not send someone to help you back Wilson left, he asked himself will help. Then, when Garrincha Joao goes: “Listen, Mane! In England there is a Wilson, who said that we can not give you to touch the ball. He is such a tall, blond …” The simple Garrincha going on the pitch, saw that all Englishmen are just as high, blond … and takes them with intoxication “technique” and together and separately, and so throughout the game. English as a miracle without a goal in get door (0:0). After the match, Sir Winterbottom 2 crates of champagne sent to the Brazilian journalist. In the game against the USSR, “Carioca” available on the world football at fantastic first 3 minutes in the history of football. 1st min break in the wing Garrincha, and overcoming their own, and foreign, brought on by a thread rushing Vava, who fired heavily, but in the beam. 3 min exercise ends with a goal – 1:0 for Brazil. Angry, Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin (it is believed that this is the greatest goalie of all time, the only goalkeeper, who won the Golden Ball for N 1 player – 1963.) Hitting their cap into the ground. At this point, one thin, 17-year pickaninny running by the Brazilian team and kisses big Lev “on the cheek … to soothe him. Pathetic, right? And this is pickaninny Pele! And so the world stage appear the two most genius – Garrincha and Pele. Mane Garrincha – The joy of the people The first will be “Joy to the people.” He appeared in professional football quite old – 20 years and only then – in a very curious way. “Selected” and “got” to the stadium from one of the scouts of “Botafogo” straight from a beach. Entering it on the pitch during the training of famous team, accompanied by loud laughter and ridicule. And indeed: Garrincha like everything else, but not the player – his right leg with goals 7 centimeters shorter than the left, which in turn apologized to half-rainbow to stand upright and moving. Forcing is a scout that he has led this guy, the coach still shouting: “Hey, Nilton, her account of him see this” Swan ” (coming speech on the left defender Nilton Santos, who was so popular at the time, that without his word can not be assigned even cleaner at the club). What happened at that time surpassed all expectation and not only decide the fate of Garrincha in his favor, but also long been telling himself pleased with Nilton. Let’s hear it: “My coach Silva said one ugly drake, which walking in the right area of the playground, I cried:” give him see this “and he threw one ball. I went quietly to him it takes, but then man slipped it between my legs and running by me. I could not keep standing and fell on his back with legs up. It must have been very funny side. While we face, thinking: “What makes legged with others? God knows! “When I looked”. Much longer can you say about Garrincha, but this is not the purpose of this book, so it will be limited to one episode. In one match Garrincha overcome “guard” and still face to face with the goalkeeper. At the last minute, with peripheral vision, Manne noted that defender writhing in pain, and instead of scoring a goal, turned and sent the ball in. .. touch. In the implementation of wove, in a moment doubt his opponent and the ball was returned into the feet of our hero in the applauses of the audience. Now this is normal and happens often, but this gesture was born then, from the nobility of crude, uneducated and stupid would Manol Francisco dos Santos, known as Garrincha.

Brazil 1950 – Groups Stage

Viliyana Filipova — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:50:21 +0000

In the first group (Brazil, Mexico, Yugoslavia, Switzerland), Brazil is imperative! Almost … Mexico were beaten by 4:0 and 2:0 with Yugoslavia, but Switzerland with its rational game not only presents great surprise – in the 90th minute at 2:2 Fridlander great blow to kick the beam … In that game against Alpians lights “warning light” for the “carioca” but they did not pay attention, the more they are beaten “the Serbs”, according to specialists who are most powerful Europeans in this World Cup. (I must have made when Yugoslavia with ease mob with Switzerland (3:0) and Mexico (4:1), but remains second and fell.) In the second group (Spain, USA, Chile, England) are the best Spaniards (3:1 v United States, 2:0 v Chile and 1:0 v England), but has an extremely strong response to the fall English football after England USA – 0:1. English for many years were considered invincible. Not participate in international football life. Play only with their neighbors in Albion, Grom them constantly. Considered frivolous to match forces with others, so be it and the World Cup here in Brazil, you pay tax mania for greatness. Loss of “tourists” to the U.S. is not only offensive, but is one of the biggest sensation in World Cup history. The players, wearing a shirt with his chest three recumbent lions, descend to the ground and a long, long will remember the murderous irony, which welcomed them to the island. Indeed, since then, and to this day, still has some amateur to be “kidded on the ground and beat” parents “! Often! But who know in 1950. imagined that so you will easily collapse a myth – the myth of their invincibility. In the third group had three opponent (Sweden, Paraguay, Italy) and, accordingly, is played 3 matches: Sweden-Paraguay – 2:2, Paraguay, Italy – 0:2, Italy-Sweden – 2:3. Italian “typhoid” have been forgiven by his dream for a third consecutive world title 50 days before the World Cup when, in a terrifying plane crash at Superga hill near Turin, the team has died of Turin – as an unalterable time champion Italy (1044, 1949.) giving 9 players of Skuadra. Among the dead is Valentino Mazzola, the star, which predicts a bright future (after the time his son Alessandro will be “major asset” to Adzuri). Despite the heavy human loss, the Italians resisted with dignity in a very contested game, ranking ahead casting, and barely lost against the Swedes, who did, in turn, are by no random selection. Sweden is the Olympic champion in the finals with a victory over Yugoslavia 3:1 (Olympic Games 1948 in London) and “Swedish troika” Gre-No-Li (Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Lindholm) startled even dream opponent defenders. In the fourth group (Uruguay, Bolivia, Scotland) is only 1 match in which Uruguay defeated Bolivia in 8:0. At the last minute Bagpipe “in Scotland, the third in this company, refused to fight a far way to Brazil.

Brazil 1950 – Introduction

Viliyana Filipova — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:42:53 +0000

If England is the home of football, then, undoubtedly, Brazil is its temple. This sport because there is really deification and its characters are idols, built a cult. Not accidentally, most players in the coffee country have nicknames and aliases, just like when artists. And when, despite the hardships of the postwar years, the creator of the World Football Championships Jules Rimet take effective steps to restore the tradition and Brazil is set to host the IV-th Congress of the World Cup by FIFA in 1946. Luxembourg, everyone is happy. Unfortunately, because of permanent political and economic crises and social instability in the temple, “this meeting of football powers in 1950. there is only one in the history of the world, at least for now.

Viliyana Filipova — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:19:10 +0000

France where the most flagrant way is declared the host (breached the principle of rotation of the continent) to large (more) football “family” should have divorce. South Americans immediately declare boycott (the exception is Brazil – the only country in the world, participated in all World Championships so far) and are replaced by world football powers as Cuba and Netherlands Antilles ( ’s World Championship, though!). After World continue and who knows how he would do this “dunanma” if humanity was faced with a fatally “To be or not to be?” The next world championship is only after 12 years and those surviving after at greatest tragedy in the XX Century (II-th World War) was so happy that they are alive, that they forget all their “white troubles”. The decision to host III-this world championship was taken off the normal situation during the Olympics – 1936 in Berlin. How are convinced the delegates at the Congress of FIFA by Jules Rime – President and Henri Case – gene. Secretary (both, you remember, the French!)? History closed eyes, but obviously the question of (not) morality is not yesterday. To strife aside and accidents and return to the topic. Who are the favorites for the title of this World Championship? Firstly – current world champion – Italy – played convincingly, has not lost velocity, and only 2 years has become Olympic champion debunk the final, final, the Austrian Wonderteam with 2:1. Mentioned are very strong team of Hungary. Appetite of Germany are not negligible, the more they have strengthened after over Austria. French hope “host = champion to continue. And say “magicians” overseas – Brazil, but none was seen by over 4 years. Regarding vice-champion of the previous World Championship – Czech Republic – specialists are about the power it, especially since it has only good to Remy in training in Sofia. Yes! In his second “attempt to fly” Bulgaria won its first point in World qualifications and accurately against vice-champion – 1:1. Unfortunately, in their responses match in Prague, put our anti-record – 0:6 (it up again after 64 years in Prague, but this time “only” in the Czech Republic, Slovakia – not!). After a pratfall in the streets of Sofia sings couplet: “As the city lies hearing – six to zero, dust and fluff, is not passed – oh, shame! – Our heart lustily in Czechoslovak. So the team with no name Bulgaria World (much longer will continue), but we ‘re there with you! For participants in the III World Championships are ranked Sweden, Austria, Norway, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, Romania, France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, Cuba and Brazil. Not yet begun and hop 1/8 finals already know the Quarter-finals. This is a team of Sweden. Shortly before the World Championship, Hitler’s “omnivorous many heads hydra” is your first swallow “bite” – a whole country (Austria) and Tre krunur “remained unchallenged. Scandian other representative of this world – Norway – is under bony nut for imenitiya his rival – Italy. 90 minutes’ walk in anguish and only 1:1. Only extensions “adzurite is tapping naked defeated his master of Meatsa. See, Hungary has no problems against the absolute autsayder Netherlands Antilles – 6:0. Germany arrived here with “slam-bang.” Hitler was charged: “Die, but wins.” Against them would be much weaker Swiss. 120 minutes is not enough – 1:1. Nothing! German army to crush them in the second game? Nothing like – 4:2 for Switzerland and Germany is out! And if this show is a surprise, the next is a sensation. In future there will be others, but first remember longer. Romania will remember it forever. Cuba the amateur play of life and death with it in many contested match extensions to reach 3:3. “King Romanian” not taking lessons and the next day more bitter fruit – 1:2 and bye. Unbelievable! France off the house with ease on the long road to the title as hopes – 3:1 against Belgium Small cousin is void their vast superiority. The same happened in Czechoslovakia, Netherlands game – 3:0. Czechs, led by characters from the previous World Championships – Planichka, Neyedli and wide, are much better. What about the 11 goals in one game? Spectacular, right? In this hell, and thus: Brazil, Poland – 6:5 in extra time. Poles removed memorable game. In regular time, no winner – 4:4. Under continuous rain Brazilian virtuoso barely tapping victory. Stars in Leonidas and both teams are in the throes Vilimovski and marked by 4 goals. Unforgettable!

And 4 teams are in the “base camp”, which will attack the top pair and which can only be securing? This will be decided semifinals. The first – Italy looks very tired against Austria. We can not else after those exhausting 210 minutes of the quarterfinal. However, “Skuadra adzura” seems to be collected in your fist and hit enter. Great merit is the “Argentinian” trio Monti, Orsi and Guayta (author of goals). In the second half the Italians resorted to their specialty – katenacho. Closed all doors to pass, the team is going entirely deaf protection. Time passes and the Austrians did not manage to find a way to test the “concrete”. Italy pain as bad devil, but retain a minimum 1:0 and qualify for the finals, declaring the end of the great “Vundertim. Occur and such things – Austrians are clearly not missed time to be the best team on the planet – two world championships. In the other semifinal Czechs in nothing like himself from the first 2 matches of the world – play, and is short. Before their mighty Germans seem cumbersome and helpless. No problems for players of Czechoslovakia, not just believe. Shape everywhere, and their goalscorer Neyedli is untenable – hat-trick. Germans still do not miss to put an honorable goal for the final 1:3. In the match for third place Austrians are still tired from the semi and did not resist the pressure of Germany – 2:3. Bright starts lasting presence of the Germans of the football World Cup. Finale. 50 000 “crazy fans” on the ground leaving 25 men. 3 persons judges and 11 players from Italy and Czechoslovakia. Game begins and Italians “presents another surprise specials. Forgot all precautionary thirst for success, the Italians attacked cease. Czech front door and boil, but the hero of the game is Planichka porter. Here, now 70 minutes and save non-saving. What happens to those who did not enter? Well, we put them! And hop, the ball is stolen in the middle of the ground and put into famous and now a Czech street “, between the rival defenders in “empty” space. It shoots a projectile is left wing putsch – and 0:1. The Stadium. Lest …?! No! Italians are the “axes” anymore. Other left wing on the ground – Orsi – after ten minutes equal. Extensions! 5 minutes after the champion has a central goal forward, wearing the colors of Skuadra adzura – Skiavio – 2:1! Italy World Champion! For the second consecutive year to host a World Championship title (this will happen 4 times more in the future). Fully deserved! Joy stands on is indescribable. To leave their happiness, and we, with a few lines to meet the main characters of the II World Championships. N 1 is regarded as the greatest footballer of Italy Guzeppe Meazza. Stadium bears his name in Milan, previously named after the world – San Sirotta. Given what is religion for the people of the Apennines, no more words are needed, moreover, that this stadium is home to almost mythical Milan and Inter. Footballer N 2 is another Italian “stadium” – Luigi Ferrari – superb organizer of the game, called a smart “weapons blacksmith of triumph. Third place in this world championship in Solomonov’s will shared between the Frantishek Planichka and Ricardo Zamora. Two of the greatest porters in the history of football. Such as these are hardly more than my fingers on one hand. And consider what it means to leave your name as a legend at the drudgery of this world – soccer goalkeeper. In contested battle, the World goalscorer with 5 goals became one of the attackers of vice-champions Yozev Neyedli only goal with less are Skiavio championship and bronze medalist Horses.
