The story of 1950
The only World Cup decided by a final group rather than a one-off final. Brazil needed only a draw in the deciding match at the brand-new Maracanã, but Uruguay won 2–1 before a world-record crowd of ~199,000 — the "Maracanazo" that silenced a nation and remains the most famous upset in the sport's history.
