The first World Cup was in 1930. It was staged in Uruguay.and was won by Uruguay. England didn't participate because they believed the World Cup was fully representative of world football. England didn't play in the World Cup until 1950. England was knocked out of the competition by a squad of U.S. part timers 1-0. The World Cup that the teams are playing for is not the original . The first cup was the Jules Rimet Trophy. That cup was retired when Brazil won it's third World Cup Championship. When the next nation wins the present World Cup three times they will retire that trophy as well.

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.

Argentina, Chile, France, Mexico, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Bolivia, Romania, Peru, Uruguay, Belgium, USA, and Paraguay participating in the first World Cup. Uruguay was down 2-1 at the break, but in the second half Uruguay brought out the famous claw. Within minutes, Pedro Cea tied the game, and shortly thereafter "El Mago" Scarone put the Uruguayans ahead 3-2. Then in the 88th minute, with the Argentines looking desperately for the equalizer, "El Manco" Castro dealt the finishing blow, ending the scoring 4-2. Uruguay was the first ever World Champion.
