1930\n\nThe first Football World Cup was staged in 1930. The games were awarded to Uruguay as they were the Olympic champions at the time and since they were celebrating the centenary of their independence. As well as being the first ever hosts, Uruguay also became the inaugural champions, beating Argentina in the final, 4-2.\n\nThe first World Cup was the only one without qualification; teams were invited. Due to the long and costly trip across the Atlantic, very few European teams chose to participate; two months before the tournament started, no team from that continent had officially entered. FIFA's president, Jules Rimet, intervened, along with the Uruguayan government, which promised to pay the travel expenses of any travelling European team. Eventually four teams made the three-week sea trip: Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia.\n\nThe thirteen teams were drawn into four groups, with all the games taking place in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Since there were no qualifying games, the opening two matches of the tournament were also the first ever World Cup games, taking place simultaneously on July 13th; France beat Mexico 4-1, while the USA defeated Belgium 3-0 at the same time in Estadio Gran Parque Central. France's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first ever World Cup goal. The USA's Bert Patenaude scored the first hat-trick in World Cup history, as his team beat Paraguay 3-0. The four eventual group winners, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, and the USA, moved to the semifinals.\n\nThe two semi-final matches saw identical 6-1 scores, as Argentina beat the US and Uruguay defeated Yugoslavia. Because the traditional third-place playoff match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the Final as Yugoslavia refused to play the 3rd place play-off against the USA. [citation needed] However, some sources, notably the FIFA Bulletin from 1984, affirm that the match occurred (Yugoslavia - US 3-1). [1] This information has never been officially confirmed.\n\nThe first ever World Cup Final was played at the Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, on July 30th. A seemingly innocuous controversy overshadowed the build-up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second. The game ended 4-2 to Uruguay (who had trailed 2-1 at half time) who added the title World Cup Winners to the already prestigious mantle of Olympic Champions, as Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy, which was later to be named after the man himself. Only one player from that final, Francisco Varallo (who played as a striker for Argentina), is still alive today.

As for the first World Cup (1930) only 13 countries participated. It was held in Uraguay and there were no qualification matches - teams were merely invited to take part. Many european countries declined the invitation because of the travelling distance and transport facilities weren't as efficient as they are today. The top scorer was Guillermo Stábile of Argentina with 8 goals. The first scorer of a World Cup goal however was scored by Lucien Laurent, of France, in the 19th minute of their opening game. \n\nUraguay won the tournament.\n\nPrize money for the World Cup has recently been increased for the impending tournament. The winners of the tournament in Germany will walk away with 24.5 million Swiss francs (£10.7m), more than double the total for the 2002 World Cup, while every qualifying nation will pocket a minimum of seven million Swiss francs (£3m). Needless to say prize money increases the further the nation progresses through the tournament. Specific amounts awarded to each country will be known after the World Cup.

The only player that I can think of scoring all the goals in a single tournament would be Jairzinho from Brazil.He did this feat at 1970 Worldcup held at Mexico.Below is something I personally think of him and I would like to share my knowledge of him with you people.\n\nJairzinho was a worthy successor to Garrincha and his devastating bursts of speed combined with lethal shooting were one of the highlights of the great 1970 World Cup. Born Jair Ventura Filho in 1944, he began on the left wing and at centre-forward with Botafogo and gained his chance on the right when Garrincha was injured. His international debut was against Portugal in the 1964 "Little World Cup" and two years later he appeared in the big World Cup in England. With Garrincha recalled, though, Jairzinho switched to the left flank and was not as effective. Brazil bowed out already in the first round. \n\nIn 1970, however, after recovering from a twice-broken right leg, he became the only player to score in every round including the final,even though Alcide Ghiggia from Uruguay scored in all his four games in 1950, many still reckons Jairzinho as the first player scoring in every round.His seven goals were second only to Gerd Müller's ten and Jairzinho's came in many forms - delicate chips and powerful shooting. His winner against England was one of the tournament's most memorable goals, but he was also a goalmaker and split defences with superb passing. He appeared in the 1974 World Cup too, but without players like Pelè in support he was not as effective. He later played for Olympique Marseille, but soon returned to Rio. Jairzinho won more than 80 caps, the last when he was in his 38th year.
