Summary

FIFA's decision to hold the event in the United States over the bids of Morocco and Brazil surprised many due to the perception that the United States had a relative lack of soccer fans. Soccer ( Association football) known simply as football in many countries has long been a popular Sport in the United States FIFA hoped that by staging the world's premier soccer tournament there, it would lead to America's growth of interest the sport. (One condition FIFA imposed was the creation of a professional soccer league, as Major League Soccer started play in 1996. Major League Soccer ( MLS) is the top-flight professional Soccer league in the United States and Canada with 14 teams 13 in the U ) Despite these misgivings, in terms of attendance the event was a rousing success. The average attendance of nearly 69,000 shattered a record that had stood since 1950, due to the bigger capacities of the American stadiums compared to those of Europe and Latin America. The 1950 FIFA World Cup, held in Brazil from June 24 to July 16, was the fourth staging of the World Cup and the first staged in 12 years due to World A modern stadium (plural stadiums or stadia in English is a place or venue for (mostly outdoor Sports Concerts or other events consisting To this day, the total attendance for the final tournament of nearly 3. 6 million remains the highest in World Cup history, despite the expansion of the competition to 32 teams in 1998.

The format of the competition stayed the same as in 1990: 24 teams qualified, divided into six groups of four. Sixteen teams would qualify for the knockout competition: the six group winners, the six group runners-up, and the four third-placed teams with the best records. This was the last time this format was used, due to the expansion of the finals tournament in 1998 to 32 teams. This World Cup was the first in which three points were awarded for a win instead of two. FIFA instituted this feature to encourage attacking football after the defensive display of many teams at Italia '90.

The Bulgarians had previously never won a match in the finals but qualified from their group with two wins. They defeated Mexico 3-1 on penalties in the second round and then produced a major shock, defeating the reigning world champions, Germany, in the quarter-finals.

The final match at the Rose Bowl was tense but devoid of scoring chances. The Rose Bowl is an outdoor football Stadium in Pasadena California, near Los Angeles. Despite the strategies disposed by the FIFA to promote offensive play, both teams lacked the energy to produce a goal. After 120 goalless minutes, the World Cup title would be decided for the first time by a penalty shoot-out. After four rounds, Brazil led 3-2, and Baggio, playing injured, had to make his kick to keep Italy's hopes alive. He missed by shooting it over the bar, and Brazil were crowned champions. One of the most famous moments of the World Cup was Baggio standing in front of the goal with his arms at his sides in disbelief.

The third-place playoff was set between Sweden, the team which scored more goals than any other in this World Cup, and Bulgaria, with their top goalscorer Hristo Stoichkov. Sweden won convincingly with a 4-0 victory, showing the world why they had come so far in this tournament. One of Sweden's World Cup profiles - Thomas Brolin - was named to the All-star team.
