Origins

In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic football tournament as a "world football championship for amateurs",^[1] and took responsibility for managing the event at the next three Olympiads: 1920–1928. Association football, usually known simply as football or soccer has been included in every Olympiad except 1896 and 1932 as a men's competition sport (In the 1908 Olympic Games and the 1912 Olympic Games the football competitions had been organised by the Football Association and the Swedish Football Association respectively). The 1908 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the IV Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event which was held in 1908 in London The 1912 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the V Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1912 in The Football Association, also known as simply The FA, is the governing body of football in England and the Crown Dependencies of Jersey The Swedish Football Association ( SvFF) ( Swedish: Svenska Fotbollförbundet) is the governing body of Football in Sweden.

The 1932 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, did not plan to include football as part of the schedule due to the low popularity of football in the United States, as American football had been growing in popularity. The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the X Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1932 Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Soccer ( Association football) known simply as football in many countries has long been a popular Sport in the United States American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football, is a competitive Team sport known for mixing strategy with FIFA and the IOC also disagreed over the status of amateur players, and so football was dropped from the Games. ^[2] On 26 May 1928, at the Amsterdam conference and on the opening day of the Olympic football tournament, FIFA president Jules Rimet announced plans to stage a tournament independent of the Olympics, open to all FIFA members.

France's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first ever World Cup goal. Lucien Laurent ( December 10, 1907 &ndash April 11, 2005) was a French footballer famous for scoring the first ever World Cup ^[8] Laurent later said: "We were playing Mexico and it was snowing, since it was winter in the southern hemisphere. One of my team mates centred the ball and I followed its path carefully, taking it on the volley with my right foot. Everyone was pleased but we didn't all roll around on the ground - nobody realised that history was being made. A quick handshake and we got on the with game. And no bonus either; we were all amateurs in those days, right to the end. "^[9]

Group 1

The first group was the only one to contain four teams: Argentina, Chile, France and Mexico. Two days after France's victory over Mexico, they faced Argentina. The only goal of the game was scored by Argentina's Luis Monti from a free kick. Luis Felipe Monti ( May 15, 1901 &ndash September 9, 1983) was an Italian - Argentine football player who has A direct free kick is a method of restarting play in a game of Association football following a foul The game featured an officiating controversy when referee Almeida Rego erroneously blew the final whistle six minutes early; play only resumed after protests from the French players. ^[10] Argentina's second match, against Mexico, featured the first penalty of the tournament.

Group 2

The second group contained Brazil, Bolivia and Yugoslavia. Brazil, the group seeds, sent a team composed primarily of players from Rio de Janeiro due to an internal dispute,^[13] but were nonetheless expected to progress. Rio de Janeiro ("River of January" ˈhiw dʒi ʒʌˈnejɾu in Brazilian Portuguese, /ˈriːoʊ di ʒəˈnɛroʊ/ in English is the second largest city of Brazil However, in the group's opening match Yugoslavia gained an unexpected 2-1 victory. ^[14] Both teams beat Bolivia comfortably (although there was considerable confusion during the Brazil v Bolivia game when, for 45 minutes, the teams were attired in the same colours.

Hosts Uruguay were in a group with Peru and Romania. The opening match in this group saw the first sending off in the competition, when Plácido Galindo of Peru was dismissed against Romania. The Peru national football team is controlled by the Federación Peruana de Fútbol (FPF and represents Peru in international football competitions The Romania national football team is the national football team of Romania and is controlled by the Romanian Football Federation. Romania made their man advantage pay; their 3-1 win included two late goals. Due to construction delays at Estadio Centenario, Uruguay's first match was not played until five days into the tournament. The first to be held at the Centenario, it was preceded by a ceremony in honour of the Uruguayan centenary celebrations. The hosts won a tight match against Peru 1-0 which was viewed as a poor performance by the Uruguayan press, but lauded in Peru. ^[15] Uruguay subsequently defeated Romania with ease, scoring four first half goals to win 4-0.

Group 4

The United States dominated the fourth group. The US team, which contained one ex-professional of British origin,^[14] and a collection of international migrants were reputedly dubbed "the shot-putters" by an unnamed source in the French contingent. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located ^[3] Their first opponents, Belgium, were beaten 3-0. The ease of the victory was unexpected; Uruguayan newspaper Imparcial wrote that "the large score of the American victory has really surprised the experts". ^[16] Belgian reports bemoaned the state of the pitch and refereeing decisions, claiming that the second goal was offside. ^[16] The group's second match witnessed the first tournament hat-trick, scored by Bert Patenaude of the United States against Paraguay. A hat-trick in Sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts Bertram "Bert" Albert Patenaude ( November 4 1909, Fall River Massachusetts &ndash November 4 1974, Fall River Massachusetts The Paraguay national football team is the national team of Paraguay and is controlled by the Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol.

Semi-finals

The two semi-final matches saw identical scores. In the first semi-final, a Monti goal half-way through the first half gave Argentina a 1-0 half-time lead against the United States. In the second half the strength of the United States team was overwhelmed by the pace of the Argentinian attacks, the match finishing 6-1 to Argentina. The American management made their anger felt to Jean Langenus but without appeal.

In the second semi-final; shades of the 1924 Olympic Games match between Yugoslavia and Uruguay. See also Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Yugoslavia ( Serbo-Croatian Uruguay.(official full name in República Oriental del Uruguay;, Oriental Republic of Uruguay) is a country located in the southeastern part of South America Here, though, Yugoslavia took a surprise lead through Sekulić. Uruguay then took a 2-1 lead, but shortly before half-time Yugoslavia had a goal disallowed due to a controversial offside decision. ^[14] The hosts scored four more in the second half to win 6-1, Pedro Cea completing a hat-trick. José Pedro Cea ( September 1, 1900 - September 18, 1970) was Uruguay 's leading goalscorer in the 1930 FIFA World Cup

Final

The final was thus contested between the finalists from the 1928 Olympics, Uruguay and Argentina. Because the now-traditional third-place match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the final. The 1934 FIFA World Cup was the second World Cup staged and was hosted in Italy from 27 May to 10 June However, some sources, notably a FIFA Bulletin from 1984, imply that a third-place match occurred and was won 3-1 by Yugoslavia. ^[18] This information has never been officially confirmed.

The final was played at the Estadio Centenario on July 30. Estadio Centenario is a Stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay, used primarily for football. The stadium gates were opened at eight o'clock, six hours before kick-off, and at noon the ground was full,^[14] officially holding 93,000 people. ^[19] A disagreement overshadowed the build-up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second. ^[3] The game ended 4-2 to Uruguay (who had trailed 2-1 at half time) who added the title World Cup winners to the mantle of Olympic Champions, as Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy, which was later named for him. The World Cup is a Gold Trophy that is awarded to the winners of the FIFA World Cup. The following day was declared a national holiday in Uruguay;^[19] in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires a mob threw stones at the Uruguayan consulate.
