Uruguay 1950 World Cup Team

The 1950 FIFA World Cup was held in a really particular country in South America: Brazil.  Without a doubt, Brazil is and has always been known for its excellent soccer.  However, the result of this championship was completely unexpected due to two main reasons.  The first one of them is that, it is usual to see how the hosts of the world cup are the champions, and secondly, Brazil is considered to be by many people as the best team of the world.  Thus, nobody thought that Brazil could not win the 1950 world cup in their own country.

In the 1950 FIFA World Cup, there were 13 different teams disputing the first position.  However, there were 34 entrants.  In addition, the number of played matches was 22 and there were 88 goals scored throughout the championship, which means that, as an average, four goals were scored per match.  Furthermore, it is estimated that around 1,036,000 people attended to this world cup.  In other words, there were around 47,091 spectators per match supporting the team they liked.

In particular, Uruguay was part of the Group 4, and in the final round, on July 9, this South American country played against Spain in a match that drew 1-1 in Sao Paulo, Estádio do Pacaembu.  Four days later, the South Americans played against Sweden, who lost 3-2 with an attendance of 8,000 spectators.  On July 16, Brazil and Uruguay starred the final match, in which the Brazilians saw their opponent crowned champions of the 1950 World Cup.
