World Cup Average Goals Scored
A look at the 1958 World Cup; victory for Pele and Brazil by Casey Haney
The sixth official FIFA World Cup to be held was in 1958. This tournament was hosted by Sweden and took place in 12 different host cities. The whole of the games occurred between June 8 and June 28 and there were 16 different teams that played. This was the very first World Cup that was won by Brazil and they beat Sweden in the final match. One notable fact that about this World Cup is that it was the only one where a European nation hosted it and a European team did not end up winning it. There were a total of 35 matches played and 126 goals scored. Almost a million people watched attended the events as a whole and this was a breakout tournament for Jus Fontaine who scored 13 goals as well as the debut for the 17 year old Pele.
In this World Cup the host team (Sweden) as well as the defending champs (West Germany) got automatic bids while there were 3 given to S. America, one to Africa and Asia, one to North America, and 9 to Europe. The most notable facts about qualification are that Italy failed to make it for the first and only time and the Soviet's qualified for the first time.
The format changes that took place in this competition were that teams had to play the other teams in their group at least one time. There was also no extra time awarded for a draw during these matches. There were also new rules established to allow a goal average to separate teams throughout the tournament, although it didn't have to be used in this tournament.
To summarize the tournament, it started out with Brazil coming to a 0-0 draw against England which had never before happened in World Cup history where both teams came up scoreless at the end of the game. Brazil beat out the Soviets in the last of their group games but the Soviet's still ended up going to a playoff game against England. Other playoff games included Czechoslovakia against Northern Ireland where the Irish won and moved on to play France in the quarter-finals. Just Fontaine of the French team came away from the group games netting 6 goals total. The French won that game and West Germany also beat out Yugoslavia to put them into the semi-finals. Sweden ended up beating the Soviets and Brazil again won against Wales with a single goal from Pele.
Then it came time for the semi-final final round where Sweden put on a strong performance against West Germany where Erich Juskowiak was ejected (which was another first in World Cup history). The French played Brazil and even though Fontaine scored a goal in that game, Pele had a hat trick in the game and they ended up winning 5-2.
It then came time for the final game which was played in Solna. Sweden struck first and went up one point after only four minutes but Brazil didn't give up. Vava ended up scoring a goal to tie them and then scored again before half time. The second half belonged to Pele who scored two more goals and Brazil ended up bringing home the Jules Rimet trophy.

The 1954 World Cup: victory for Germany by Jayden Townsend
1954 was the fifth time that the World Cup was the football association. This year it took place in the host country of Switzerland and it lasted from June 16 to July 4. The host country of Switzerland had been chosen back in 1946 and were delighted to be the stage where many records would end up being set.
There were 16 teams that played in the tournament and the games were played in 6 different host cities. Scoring records were set at this tournament, including the highest amount of goals scored per game (on average). The top four teams in the tournament were Uruguay at fourth, Austria at third, Hungary at second, and the title was taken by West Germany who defeated Hungary with a score of 3-2 in the final game.
The format for the 1954 tournament was much different than it had been in the past. Rather than doing a round robin, the 16 teams were split up into four groups that each included four teams. Within each of these groups there were 2 unseeded teams as well as 2 seeded teams. There was also a new rule allowing teams to keep playing after 90 minutes if they were tied, all the way up to the 120 minute mark. Playoffs were played when teams were tied in points to see who would make it the next stage of the tournament.
Seeding was determined by world rankings and before the teams had even qualified for the final tournament, Spain was replaced by Turkey. Germany was actually one of the unseeded teams and had only been let back into FIFA in 1950. They started off by beating Turkey in the first of two different matches and didn't get to play an easy team like Korea who got blown out by 7 and 9 points respectively. The Germans then took on Hungary but lost 3-8. The main note from that game was that the German player Werner Liebrich actually injured Hungarian player Ferenc Pusksas who was largely regarded as the best player in the world. Ferenc would sit out the next two games, but would play in the final. He still was questionable at that time, so many have wondered what it would have been like had he not gotten injured.
In the quarter-finals, Brazil lost 2-4 against Hungary and was known as an extremely violent match. It is often referred to as the "Battle of Berne". England was taken out by Uruguay and Yugoslavia lost to Germany. The host team of Switzerland also lost at this time to Austria but the game had the most goals ever scored in a World Cup. The final score was 7-5.
The final match was between Hungary and West Germany in the Wankdorf Stadion in front of over 60,000 fans. Hungary went into the match being the favorites having won 32 consecutive matches. At the first of the game, Ferenc Puskas put the Hungarians up 1 after only 6 minutes. Just a short while later Hungarian player Zoltan Czibor would score another. The Germans answered with two goals of their own and finished if off by a second goal from Rahn out of the backfield. In the end the Germans walked away with the Jules Rimet trophy.

Messi with Argentina Jerseys assume too much responsibility and too lonely too passive by lynnlee1230
With three team not scoring, Lionel of Antwerp-Messi of lack of team goals are still continuing, on January 22 on Malaga's hat-trick Messi this season has not been seen playing "God". But most Barcelona painful for fans is that individuals suddenly couldn't find understandable, but how Messi's a confused, Bassa along sleepy, the whole team? This strong dependency of individuals, that is by no means "the universe". But teams rely too much on Messi not good fruit to eat, there is a, that is, Argentina, compare you will find Club Messi's now, probably have a sense of national team play, hang empty title of a team leader, is less than the number of wankuanglanyujidao. But in fact, the substance has not changed: Messi with Argentina Jerseys assume too much responsibility, too lonely too passive. He is responsible for front of organization connection, to is responsible for restricted area around of singles alone bucket (note is singles alone bucket, and not overall tie), also to at any time runs support, some away from restricted area had far of smooth transition ball in also has he of figure, hit so more live in he who, real of near distance arrow combat role immediately is weakened, opponents fear of is attack madman Massey, and not a what are to is responsible for of Massey. And how similar the national team during the Macy 's! Closest to the now-the America's Cup international competition for reference, hosts Argentina team group stage two one win, two are two 0:0, 8 4 match was Uruguay eliminated, becoming a laughing stock. The match Lionel Messi with Messi jersey also assists Iran into a ball, but still in the national team out of the game after the detonation. But look at the Argentina team, make Macy's do? Midfield masters-no organization, Javier Alejandro Mascherano and cambiasso was blocked, and cambiasso front ability is more powerful, BA and claimed to be organized in strongman, but into the national team, he cannot afford to assume this role of soul. But a team, lack of eye of the midfield, before and after the three periods of play in a tired, real-world solution is Massey place slightly more evacuations, first take, Aguero, laweiji and the others away winger more strongly, or to a direct role play as a second striker Lionel Messi.
Looks right, but keep this wilt with help of di Maria, but the reality is cruel than the concept paper, whether Bolivia also are Colombia, really wish Macy's a shoulder you pick, already not afraid ground against South American teams, also most powerful ground attack Massey before and after deployment to use as a super player. Results are Massey Organization benefits of player, flute no ability to benefits transformation for scored, and Massey wants to scored, is must by personal ability to charge in, a support team, attempt to with a people to full series up in the front, outcomes is looks like world teams of Argentina, playing was and team type of, into soldier combat number far over continuous tie penetration of number, so who fear you? Now Barcelona, how similar, Sergi-Roberto fern, Javier Alejandro Mascherano and TI Asia Al Gore, this is what type of midfielder? Fact is that at least two people in the moment, become midfield core, they can dish the ball, pedicled sub Diego sent 13 ball to Messi, no threat the ball, the audience is only one ball to Cuenca has created the first goal, is indirectly assists, but the contribution is too small. Pony, he repeatedly make penetrating passes more unrealistic, he have this Kung Fu, Argentina national team the disease also solves. But he even passes, has helped him become the House up to the pass. And King Cup guest flat Valencia similar, seemed between and into has in Argentina team of situation, Messi with Argentine National Shirt Soccer again became pass main force, note here by said of pass not back and forth pour pass, but to made has penetrating force of directly sent ball, today of competition, even in second half, Massey of main location also drag in Cuenca, and Tello and small method zhihou, indicates that melon handsome of adjustment in, on no to Massey Dang first arrow with. While Massey post control of targeted, Argentina near the man's passing was forced to return to the ring in, on the threat of reduced, even so, Messi eventually gongmen gives 5 times and 5 times the threat passes, individual performance is best. But his tactics, was also much too tuoda. Harvey and small white what went on? This is the first list of things people want to ask, two masters of the real achievements of Barcelona the overall beauty of the art, wrapped in blankets in the presence of the ballpark. Because there may be several missed out, let in the realm and their gap on long pedicles of sub Diego, Sergi even to replace it? Where there are defects then Messi's to make up for it? Result is self-defeating, and in the national team, Messi with Argentina Jersey when has not been recognized by the "model worker". Argentina midfielder to play do not live, or only the top teams in the world on paper image perpetuated, and Barcelona are within reach of a solution, this is the biggest difference. Handsome can give up now with mood-midfield talent moves slowly so that Massey, media reported that Guardiola hopes midfielder stronger", but without haweiyiniesita, Massey was too tired. Now of Massey believe also is tired, themselves in Stadium Shang was does not to midfielder high standard of care, also was themselves hard filled midfielder master to organization, this season average two field does not to on has once assists, team State good of when, we will said Messi can large, but today racing Hou we should realized that, so of assists, more min to midfielder several main more suitable. In the national team, Lionel Messi best of civic duty, team mediocrity also has to put up with, but in Barcelona, team-mate are fully capable, coaches are fully capable, Macy's and other players, play they most want to see, the heart is full of joy of football as a whole.
I like National Soccer Jersey
