Answer the following question with your essay from Goldblatt text attached below:
Two of the first four World Cups were in South America, Uruguay (1930) and Brazil (1950). Write an essay comparing these two events and try and highlight not only their significance in the history of the World Cup, but how these two tournaments were essential for the development of Soccer in South America. How did each event affect the home country in terms of its infrastructure and development? What were the key factors in terms of rivalries and politics during each event? Who were the key figures on and off the pitch in Uruguay and Brazil? We have poorer archival evidence for these games than modern games – is there anything from the “on the pitch” descriptions of the games that interested you? Is it difficult to understand the “drama” on and off the pitch without being able to see the games? By the end of the 1950 tournament what would you make of the state of soccer in Europe and South America?
