Tropi Piala Dunia (c)AP Various major events happened in 1930, but how many of these events that is still talked about?. Call it one of them is historical events that changed the name of Constantinople officially became Istanbul then, or phenomenal discovery of the nine planets of our solar system, Pluto, and of course who was busy talking about the current World Cup, yes, in 1930 was the world terakbar competition was first held in Uruguay.
We do not yet know that the World Cup qualifying. A large number of 13 teams competing was an invitation, four from Europe, eight from South America and a team representing the United States. Many teams that decided not to participate because the location of a distant Uruguay. The long journey by sea takes about two months. This becomes an excuse for some major countries not to take part including the UK and other European countries such dominant Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. In the end, the host country, Uruguay came out as the winner and became the first team to successfully lift the World Cup trophy.
The second edition of the World Cup held in Italy four years later, in 1934. The appeal of this global tournament has increased rapidly at that time, there were thirty-two countries took part in qualifying. This is the first World Cup qualifier held, with 32 teams competing for 16 positions. England refused to participate similarly with the defending champions Uruguay, who refused to play as a reward the attitude of European countries are reluctant to attend the World Cup in 1930. More akin to the Berlin Olympics in 1936 Adolf Hitler, dictator Benito Mussolini's Italy used a World Cup tournament as one opportunity to compel Fascist propaganda. 55 000 spectators, including Mussolini, were present in the final between the host against Czechoslovakia. And once again, like previous editions of the host came out as the winner, the first World Cup trophy to Italy.
If the myth of the host always come out a winner it's true, then France should be able to host the FIFA World Cup winning third in 1938. But unfortunately these myths are not proven, the French only made it to the quarter-finals, his journey is stopped by the defending champion Italy.

Second World War
Continuation of the Second World War brought gloom to the world of football.

And, as recorded history, the goal was not normal was ratified by the referee Dienst.
Brazil triumph

Rossi Paolo
Spain in 1982, Rossi was the hero of Italy. Italy started slowly and nearly eliminated in the early chances, but their luck changed and won the World Cup a third time with an extraordinary way. There are three events of interest to the figure of Rossi at the time, the first time Italy won 3-2 against Brazil, which is still regarded as the best game today.

Like Owen, Beckham's Grief
Not passed in the 1990 World Cup and did not meet in the World Cup 1994, England and Argentina finally face each other again in World Cup 1998 France. Having escaped from the allowance for each group, two sworn enemies must get rid of each other to advance to the quarter-finals.

However, Owen did not forget the beautiful goals, the most memorable things from the public sphere is precisely match is dikartumerahkannya David Beckham, the star who was then the most revered in the UK. Beckham's red card made England finished the match with 10 players, and eventually lost on penalties.
Survive the Worst Winner
In the history of the World Cup, there's only one team can win the world championship twice in a row, namely Italy in the World Cup in 1934 and 1938. The event is also recorded, only a few teams that have advanced to the World Cup final in a row, such as Argentina and Germany in the World Cup in 1986 and 1990 or Brazil in World Cup 1994, 1998 and 2002. The rest, the defending champion is usually performed keteteran. Nevertheless, there are no bad World Cup defending champions France. France came to Korea-Japan World Cup in 2002 not only with the predicate defending champion, but also as the world's best teams. After the World Cup title in 1998, they claimed the European Cup in 2000, and 2001 Confederations Cup. But the French group stage draw can only play once, and two defeats and crushed the French at the bottom of the standings of World Cup 2002 Group A with a value of 1. What's worse, this team did not even score a goal sebijipun.
Zidane Tandukan
World Cup Final 2006 took place not special. Two teams that competed, Italy and France, playing too cautiously. Until towards the second half extra time, the match lasted at the position at 1-1. Winner of the match then determined by the most hated by the players and fans of football that is on penalties. But Zinedine Zidane doing the impossible can be eliminated from World Cup history records. Actions that head butt Materazzi after quarrels involved at least make the World Cup in 2006 could be remembered.
What's Next?
And what will happen in South Africa in 2010? Is it interesting that will be born from Brazil with their sixth victory, or whether Italy would retain their position as defending champions and sit parallel with Brazil as the largest collectors of World Cup? Or it could be of African countries opened a new chapter in a long history with the spawn champions of their continent. Football world already can not wait to start seeing history will re-engraved.
