Please, please clean this up!
[edit] Logistics Problems
I think someone (but not me, since I'm brazilian) should mention some of the logistic problems in the world cup. This site: [1] tells alot about the cups, including 1950.--Vertigo200 03:19, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
Football World Cup 1950 → 1950 FIFA World Cup – following the consensus of naming the World Cup articles as FIFA World Cup in Wikipedia, and consistency of naming the major international football tournaments.
Discuss here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Competitions#Requested move of Football World Cup articles. --Pkchan 10:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Moved per requested move. --Pkchan 12:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map of venues?
"France agreed to play but they worked out that the venues for their two group matches were over 3,000 kilometres away from each other. The French told the Brazilians that they would stay home unless the arrangements were changed. The Brazilian Federation refused and France withdrew.
In fact, the entire tournament was arranged so that the four first phase groups (or "pools" as they were then called) had no geographical basis. Hence, several teams were obliged to cover large distances to complete their program. Although Brazil was allowed to play two of its three group matches in Rio de Janeiro while its other game was in (comparatively) nearby São Paulo."
This seems like an interesting fact. A map showing the venues might be a good idea to illustrate this point, as to a casual reader (and one who doesn't know Brazilian geography) this point might be hard to comprehend.--128.205.153.176 15:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hungary's non-involvement
Why was this the case? Seems a pretty big fact to miss out.--Tiresais 20:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Final Rankings
The final rankings were removed from here because of the claim that it was a knockout tournament. This however was the one tournament where although there were teams 'knocked out' there was no actual knockout phase only two group stages. The rankings were used by FIFA to determine seeds in recent years. The tables from 1978 to present are valid and for consistency we can include the ones from 1930-1974 as well. For that matter FIFA has ranked the early tournaments anyway and a document with those rankings can be found here http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/releases/en/fwc_origin_en.pdf Libro0 17:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Saar
The Saar also had a team, which did play in the 1954 qualifiers but, I understand, was prevented like the other tow Germanies from entering in 1950.
