In 1962 the Football World Cup returned to the continent of South America. It was held in Chile by FIFA's decision in Lisbon in June 1956, and won by Brazil, who retained the championship beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final. During the preparations, in May 1960, Chile suffered an earthquake leading to serious damage to the national infrastructure. In face of this, the president of the Organization Commitee coined the phrase: "Because we don't have anything, we will do all" which became the unofficial slogan of the tournament. 1962 Football World Cup poster This work is copyrighted. ...

Only three nations competed for the honour of staging the games; one European (West Germany), and both Argentina and Chile of South America. Although the Argentineans were the favourites, the responsibility fell to the Chileans, who built new stadiums to hold the tournament after the earthquake two years previously. The format of the competition stayed the same as 1958: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.

The initial group stage saw Brazil lose one of their most influential stars from the previous campaign, Pelé, who only managed to play in Brazil's first two games – one of which he scored in. But Pelé's injury led to the inclusion of Amarildo, and the emergence of Garrincha as the star of the 1962 World Cup.

Brazil topped their group with Czechoslovakia finishing second above Mexico and Spain. USSR and Yugoslavia finished above Uruguay and Colombia. Hungary, along with England, progressed through to the quarterfinals, while Argentina and Bulgaria went home. Swizterland managed to lose all three games while West Germany and Chile both went through over Italy. This was a group that saw terrible clashes between Italy and the hosts. Although only two players were sent off, the teams needed police protection to leave the field in safety.

Surprisingly, Chile managed to defeat the USSR to land themselves a semi-final game against the winner of the England – Brazil game. A brilliant performance from Garrincha, which included two goals in a 3-1 win, saw the South Americans triumph against England. Meanwhile 1-0 wins for Yugoslavia against West Germany -- and Czechoslovakia against Hungary -- saw the two Slavic states meet in the semi-finals.


A little under 6,000 spectators turned out to watch Yugoslavia lose to Czechoslovakia 3-1, whereas a crowd of 76,600 watched Brazil beat the hosts 4-2. This game saw Garrincha sent off for Brazil and Landa sent off for Chile. Chile eventually went on to take third place in a 1-0 victory over Yugoslavia.


Santiago's Estadio Nacional served as the venue for the Final itself, and after 15 minutes, Brazil again found themselves a goal behind in the World Cup Final, as a long ball from Scherer was latched onto by Masopust: 1-0 Czechoslovakia. However, just like the previous Final four years earlier, Brazil soon hit back, equalising two minutes later with a goal from Amarildo. The Brazilians did not stop there and with goals from Zito and Vava mid-way through the second half, the Czechoslovakians just couldn't get back into the game. The game ended 3-1 to Brazil, a successful defence of the title for only the second time in the history of the competition, and without their star player of 1958, Pelé.

Trivia

This was the last World Cup which was unable to be televised live in Europe, because it just predated the arrival of the Telstar satellite and the start of live transmissions from the Americas to Europe. In the United Kingdom, the BBC broadcast live radio commentaries and film recordings of matches on television two days late. World map showing Europe Europe is conventionally considered one of the seven continents which, in this case, is more a cultural and political distinction than a physiogeographic one. ... The original Telstar had a roughly spherical shape. ...
