Post World Cup and General (continued)
A. Repetitions from a previous entry in
the blog relevant to 1938:
The First Time ever (only time ever) that
players appeared in a pre-War and post-War World Cups was when 1938
participants, the Swiss Alfred Bickel and the Swede Erik Nilsson, appeared in
the 1950 World Cup as well.

Michele Andreolo-Uruguay and Italy, 1934/1942
Uruguay-born and Nacional Montevideo midfielder Michele Andreolo
earned caps for Uruguay in 1934/35.
In 1935, he joined Italy’s Bologna, where he won many League
titles.
His displays caught the eye of Italy Manager Vittorio Pozzo and
he was selected for his new Nation from 1936 onwards.
He was a member of Italy’s 1938 World Cup winning squad.
Karl Rappan and the Nazi Authorities
The famous Austrian Manager Karl Rappan had his run-ins with
Nazi Officials while he was managing the Swiss National Team. He managed the
Swiss National Team during the 1938 World Cup (concurrently with Grasshopper
Zurich).
After leading the Swiss to victory over the Germans during the
1938 World Cup, he was ordered by a Nazi Official to leave the lodgings in
France where the Swiss squad were residing and return to Munich at once
(remember Austria was part of Germany after the Anschlus). He refused this
demand/order.
Just after the World Cup, he was approached by another
high-ranking Nazi Official and offered (given an ultimatum according to Rappan)
to replace Sepp Herberger as Germany’s National Team Manager.
Upon returning to Switzerland, his contract was extended by
Grasshopper President Dr. Hoffmann and was asked not to make any hostile
comments about Zurich’s German community.
Karl Rappan and Nazi Authorities, 1940s
In 1942 Switzerland were to play Germany in the (then annexed)
Vienna.
Switzerland’s Swiss Manager Karl Rappan had to present himself
to the German consulate in Zurich, for a medical exam to be mobilized.
Initially, since he had problems with his lungs, he was to be
incorporated into an office role.
The Swiss Federation President Robert Zumbuhl interved for
Rappan to remain in Switzerland by using his influende with the German
Ambassdaor.

Leonidas and Bicycle Kick
1930s
Brazilian star Leonidas (top goalscorer at the 1938 World Cup) is often
credited as being the inventor of the Bicycle (overhead) kick.
Most
historians are doubtful of that claim and believe perhaps he popularized it but
did not actually invent it.

Poland
striker Ernest Willimowski is mostly remembered for scoring four goals in a
losing effort vs. Brazil during the 1938 World Cup.
He
was actually born in an area of Poland (Silesia) that was still part of the
German Empire in 1916. That area became part of Poland in 1922.
After
Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939, he was capped by Germany in the 1940s. He
stayed in Germany for the remainder of his life.

Brazilian
star from the 1930s Domingos da Guia was the father of 1970s player Ademir da
Guia.
They
are one of the first father-son combinations to have played in a World Cup
(Domingos in 1938 and Ademir in 1974).

B. Repetitions from 1934 article relevant
to 1938:
-Italy
Manager Vittorio Pozzo would manage Italy to win the following World Cup in
1938 in France.
He
became and still is the only Manager to have managed two World Cup winning
sides (as well as consecutive ones).
-Giuseppe
Meazza and Giovanni Ferrari were 1938 World Cup winners as well. They were the
only 1934 veterans to achieve this distinction. In doing so, they became the
first ever players to win the World Cup twice.
Eralso
Monzeglio, another 1934 winner, took part only in Italy’s first match vs.
Norway 9June 5, 1938, 2-1 win).
Italian Back-up goalkeeper Guido Masetti
(November 22, 1907-November 26, 1993) of AS Roma was also part of the 1938
World Cup winning side. He became the only player to be in two World Cup
winning sides without playing a single minute in each.

-Giuseppe
Meazza (August 23, 1910- August 21, 1979) would be the Captain of the 1938
World Cup winning side.
The
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) in Milan (shared by AC Milan and
Internazionale Milano) is named after him.
He
played for both clubs, though for the majority of his career he played for
Internazionale Milano.

-Italian
defender Pietro Rava (January 21, 1916- November 5,
2006) was the only player to have
been alive during Italy’s four World Cup wins (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006).
He
passed away just months after the 2006 triumph.

-Belgium’s Bernard Voorhoof
(May 10, 1910-February 18, 1974) along with France’s Etienne Mattler (December
25, 1905-March 23, 1986) and Edmond Delfour (November 1,
1907-December 21, 1990) are the only players who took part in the first three
World Cups in the 1930 (1930, 1934 and 1938).
Bernard Voorhoof was
nicknamed ‘voorhoofd’ (forehead in Dutch); his 1930 Belgian teammate Nicolaas
Hoydonckx called him ‘voor-kop’ (to head).

-Hungary’s
Gyorgy Sarosi (August 5, 1912-June 20, 1993) would captain his Nation in the
Final of the 1938 World Cup vs. Italy.
He
would go on to manage many Italian clubs in the 1950s including Juventus, AS
Roma, Genoa and Bologna.

-While
in the 1930 World Cup, 2-3-5 formation was popular by this World Cup; the ‘WM’
Formation of Herbert Chapman was taking hold across Europe.
Germany
played in a ‘WM’ (3-2-2-3)
formation at
the World Cup.
‘WM’
was also known as ‘Sistema’.
In
contrast, Vittorio Pozzo and Hugo Meisl had developped ‘Metodo’, which was a
‘WW’ (2-3-2-3) formation.

-Karel Johannes Julianus Lotsij (Lotsy) (March 3, 1893-August
29, 1959) was the head of the Dutch Selection Committee.
Many
credit him for the improvements in the standards of the Dutch team during his
tenure.
After
his death, it came to light that during the Dutch Occupation during World War
II, he might have been accommodating to the Nazis.
His
role is somewhat unclear as accounts vary but his image was tarnished
posthumously.
-France’s
Alfred Aston (May 16, 1912-February 10, 2003) had an English father and French
mother.

- France’s Roger Courtois (May 30,
1912-May 5, 1972) was
born in Switzerland and had double Nationality (French and Swiss).
In
1940, he had been mobilized as France had entered the War and was taken
prisoner.
He
decided on a plan to get repatriated to neutral Switzerland.
He
went to the Prison Camp Hospital on the pretense of inflammation of lungs that he had from childhood (healed by then).
There he decided not to eat to lose weigtht. In
doing so he lost more than 25 pounds and was repatriated to Switzerland in a
seemingly ill state.
Once in Switzerland, he resumed
his playing career and joined Lausanne.
-Holland’s
Puck van Heel held the Dutch Caps record from 1937 until 1979, when Ruud Krol
broke it.
-France
backup goalkeeper René Llense (July 14, 1913-March 12, 2014) died aged 100.
He
was the last surviving participant of this World Cup and in fact of any of the
pre-War World Cups.
