Qualifying countries

The 1954 Football World Cup was held in Switzerland. In the same FIFA conference where Brazil were allocated as hosts of the 1950 Football World Cup, and as the year saw the 50th anniversary of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), it seemed like a good idea for football's premier competition to be played in the home of its governing body. The tournament was won by West Germany, who upset Hungary 3-2 in the final. It was Germany's first World Cup victory. 1954 Football World Cup poster This work is copyrighted. ...

Overview

For the first time there was television coverage, and special coins issued to mark the event. 16 teams qualified for the tournament and an unusual system was used in the group stage. The 16 teams were divided into four groups of four. Each group was comprised of two of the eight seeded teams based on World rankings (Austria, Brazil, England, France, Hungary, Italy, Turkey and Uruguay) and two unseeded teams. Instead of a conventional round-robin where each team would play three matches, the two seeded teams and the two weakest teams in each group didn't have to play each other, so each team played only 2 group matches. Extra time was played in the group stages for any game that was level in after 90 minutes. The two teams finishing at the top of their group would go through to the quarter-finals. Goal average was ignored and teams battling for a qualifying spot who were on equal points at the end of the group stages were required to a play-off. Consequently Switzerland and Italy played each other twice with Switzerland winning the play-off 4-1, while West Germany, who were unseeded, had two encounters with the seeded Turkish and beat them convincingly on both occasions. Uruguay and Austria finished the group stages level on points in the qualifying positions and drew lots to determine who they would play in the next round.

A round-robin tournament or all-play-all tournament is a type of group tournament in which each participant plays every other participant an equal number of times. ... In sports such as ice hockey and soccer, goal difference (that is, goals scored less goals conceded) is often the first tie-breaker used to rank teams which finish a competition with an equal number of points. ...

The quarter-finals saw the favourites Hungary beat Brazil 4-2 in one of the ugliest matches in football history, which would become infamous as the Battle of Berne. Meanwhile, the World Cup holders Uruguay sent England out of the tournament, also by 4-2. Also, West Germany dispatched Yugoslavia 2-0 and Austria managed to beat the host nation in the game that saw the most goals in any World Cup match, 7-5. The Battle of Berne is the informal name given to the football match between Brazil and Hungary during the World Cup finals on June 27, 1954 in Berne. ...

During the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, Austria beat Switzerland 7-5 in Lausanne, in what is still the highest scoring match in a World Cup. ...

One of the semi-finals produced a score line of 6-1 between West Germany and Austria (with West Germany winning). The other one, the most exciting game of the tournament, saw Hungary go into the second half leading Uruguay 1-0, only for the game to be taken to extra time with a score of 2-2. The deadlock was broken by Sandor Kocsis with two late goals to take Hungary through to the Final, beating a team that had not previously lost a World Cup game. Uruguay then went on to be beaten for a second time by Austria as they secured Third Place. Sándor Kocsis (born September 21, 1929 in Budapest; died July 22, 1979) was a Hungarian football striker, who ranks fourth all-time with 75 international goals (in only 68 caps). ...

The Wankdorf Stadion in Berne saw 60,000 people cram inside to watch the Final between West Germany and Hungary, a rematch of a first round game, which Hungary had won 8-3. Shortly before the match it had started raining - in Germany this was dubbed "Fritz-Walter-Wetter" (Fritz Walter Weather) because the German team captain Fritz Walter was said to play his best in rainy weather. The Final saw the legendary Ferenc Puskás playing even though he was not fully fit. Despite this he put his team ahead after only 6 minutes, and with Zoltan Czibor adding another two minutes later it seemed destined that the pre-tournament favourites would take the title.

However with a goal from Max Morlock and Helmut Rahn before half time the tide began to turn. The second half saw telling misses from the Hungarian team, a second goal from Rahn, and a disallowed goal from Puskas with 2 minutes left. When Rahn scored his second goal barely 6 minutes before the end of the match the popular German reporter Herbert Zimmermann gave the most famous German piece of commentary while the Hungarian reporter, Gyorgy Szepesi burst into tears. In Germany the success is known as The Miracle of Bern, upon which a 2003 film of the same name was based. The distraught Hungarians were ushered away by the referee and with a final blow of the whistle West Germany were handed both the Jules Rimet trophy and the title of World Cup Winners.

The 11 goals scored by Kocsis of Hungary not only led the World Cup, but bettered the old record by three.

This world cup has been subject to controversy when Hungarian superstar Puskas claimed that after entering the German lockerroom after the match he found many of them vomiting. The proceeding months saw many of them also develop jaundice. In 2004 a lockerroom attendant uncoverred that he found syringes in the German room after the match, aiding the doping allegations. Jaundice, also known as icterus (attributive adjective: icteric), is a yellowing of the skin, sclera (the white of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the human body (or the body of another red blooded animal). ...
