THE 1950 WORLD CUP.

1 In the 1950 world cup.The Urugayan footballer ALCIDES GHIGGA ,and the French footballerJUST FONTAINE scored in every game they played. Just Fontaine , went on to score 15 goals in the world cup 1950. It is a record that still stands well after fifty years.
2 In the match between URUGAY verses BRAZIL, which was an exiting match to the very end.
BRAZIL took the lead through Jairzinho and later URUGAY equaled through JUAN ALBERTO SCHIAFFINO . Ten minutes from the end ALCDES GHIGGA score the winning goal, by beating the Brazilan goalkeeper BARBOSA. This loss to URUGAY is still very fresh in the mind of the younger Brzilan football generation who still call it a masacare. And for the loss Barbosa is held eternally responsible.
Barbosa once said in an interview , with feeling he said this.( In Brazil for life imprisinment one serves only thirty years, here Iam serving over fifty years for something Idid not do. This was shortly before he died.
Alcides Ghigga recently visited Brazil and a custom officer looked at his passport and said so you are our enemy ALCIDES GHIGGA . The officer was in her mid twentys. Ghigga said but that match was over fity years ago . The officer replied maybe so but in Brazil we remember it as yesterday. That masacare in the 1950 world cup. This just shows how seriously they take their football.
