According to the unwritten rule of organizing the
tournament, the tournament will be alternately hosted by Europe country and
South America. Therefore, this hosting the VII World Cup opportunity
went to Chile, which didn't withdraw even faced with huge losses the 1960
earthquake had caused. It was then that the world heard the words of the
president of the Chile football federation: "since we have nothing, we will
do everything". 51 teams entered the qualifiers. Austria, representing "a
rather low level" didn't participate, and teams from France and Sweden (the
silver and bronze medalists from 1958) didn't make it through the
qualifiers.
The favorites of the games in Chile were the defending
champions from Brasil which include their wonder boy from previous World Cup
tournament, Pele. But, unluckily, after scoring in the opening match, he was
injured and did not play for the rest of the tournament. Hopes were
also high on teams from Spain, Italy, England and USSR. The group games were
heated and very brutal: lots of foul play and expulsions, as well as fights
between teams. In the first phase the European teams did much better and 6
of them ended up in the semis. There England was a disappointment again,
still with no major success in the World Cup finals. Czechoslovakia
qualified and did surprisingly well, beating a strong Yugoslavian eleven and
Hungary, to meet with Brasil in the final. It was the second game of these
two teams in this tournament, the first ended goalless draw. This time, as
expected, the defending champion defeated these games' sensationally,
Czechoslovakia, 3:1 . Chile and Yugoslavia fought for 3rd. place and the
bronze went to the hosting team.
