World Cup Fun Facts

After winning twice in 1930 and 1950, Uruguay appeared for the third time and was still unbeatable. Playing for the first time in the "Old Continent", they have a chance to win the title for a third time, which would permanently keep the trophy in Uruguay's hands. But that didn't happen - spectators watching Hungary's semi-final against Uruguay could have imagined they were watching a clash between old and new champions. Puskas, Hidegkuti, Kocsis and team-mates had already won the Olympic title in 1952, beating 6-3 at Wembley in 1953 England, now have another extra-time win over the former world champions. However, the final was an incredible game. The German team not only caught up with the two goals behind, but also defeated the Hungarian team with a score of 3-2 and won the German team's first World Cup championship.

On June 26, 1954, an unprecedented goal record was set in the quarter-finals held in Lausanne. The Swiss team once led 3-0, but the Austrian team eventually won 7-5. The hot weather took its toll on hosts Switzerland.
