The story of 1934
The first World Cup in Europe, and the first decided by a straight knockout from the round of 16. Hosts Italy, under Vittorio Pozzo and heavily politicised by Mussolini's regime, won their first title, beating Czechoslovakia 2–1 after extra time. Uruguay, the holders, boycotted in protest at European no-shows four years earlier — the only champions ever to skip the next tournament.
