Trivaldo's Sports Quiz

[Andy]

Must have been 1970 and Uraguay. Looking at the group results on wiki it must have been Sweden that went out.

Hopefully that will be right, or else I just looked through the groups for nothing. (ye I am that sad, it is 2,30 in the morning and have nothing to do.)

uruguay beating brazil in 1930 world cup final

 

[wunzigan]

I really have no clue on cricket, dont even understand the game...

1950 World Cup final between Uruguay and Brazil. Uruguay beat Brazil 2-1, even though Brazil were host of that World Cup. Still to this day they label that final as a catastrophe, Uruguay pulled off a upset. When a certain player named Pele helped start the reign of Brazil from 1958. It is believed that 200,000 people were in attendance.

Well done. Trivaldo you said 1930, maybe it was a lapsus. Anyway, Brazil was 1-0 ahead, and let 2 goals in for major stunner in World Cup. This one, and the Germany 3-2 Hungary, are considered as miracles in the football communities
