DeleteExcellent blog I love it and lots of research material, in the past I have made some references about 1930 WC
DeleteFor example Uruguay's initial goalkeeper was cut from the squad for breaking curfew
ReplyDeleteAlso the compromise of referee Langenus for the final where each team wanted to play with its own ball
ReplyDeleteThe mystery about Monti getting death threats prior to the final
ReplyDeleteThree interesting points you raise. Im in the process of writing a book with the hope of finding a publisher, so there is much im withholding in terms of detailed match reports. But some of these peripheral points you mention Im sure Ill touch upon.
ReplyDeleteExcellent blog
