36 teams took part in the World Cup qualifiers and only
16 made the finals. Surprisingly, Sweden and Spain, 1950's finalists didn't
make it this time. Argentina, didn't show up again, and neither did the
strong USSR team. South Korea, Scotland and Turkey make their debut
appearance (the last two teams chose not to participate in the previous
competition).
This time, the first round was played in groups, each
group was made up of two seeded and two drawn teams, and they were to play
"weaker with stronger". The stronger teams were Uruguay, Hungary, Austria,
England, Italy, France, Turkey, and Brasil. A revelation of the games was
the West Germany team, that wasn't given any chance for getting out of the
group after a loss to Hungary. West Germany got better and better with each
match: they crushed Turkey twice (4:1 and 7:1) and defeated Yugoslavia and
Austria to face favorite Hungary once again in the finals. The Hungarian
team made the final game after heated matches with Brasil and Uruguay (both
games 4:2 wins). In the last game of the competition Hungary dominated as
expected, but for most of the game the score was tied. The decisive goal
came suddenly after a counter attack of the German team and gave West
Germany the Rimet Cup. Austria was the 3rd. place winner.
Top players of the tournament: Ocwirk (Austria), D.
Santos, Bauer, Julinho (Brasil), Bozsik, Czibor, Hidegkuti, Kocsis, Puskás
(Hungary), Turek, Rahn, F. Walter (West Germany), Varela, Schiaffino
(Uruguay).
