Actually the first World Cup had no third place as such, but the US was one of the two beaten semi-finalists, Yugoslavia being the other. Uruguay and Argentina each beat one of those two 6-1. Sorry I can't remember which was which.\n\nThe first (official) FOOTBALL tournament of any kind was the English FA Cup of 1871-72. It was won by Wanderers (who folded in the 1880s), who beat Royal Engineers 2-0 in the final at Kennington Oval in London.

I really want to help you since it's my background. Here's some info from the book 'Sports' The Complete visual Reference':\n "It roots back to antiquity (called sphaira by the Greeks and ollis by the Romans); in Renaissance Italy, a more elaborate version, calcio, was played. Soccer as we know it today was invented in England in the mid 19th century (1848). The first club, Sheffield Football Club, was formed in 1863, and the first competition, the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup, was organized in 1842. The Federation international de football association (FIFA) was founded in 1904. A demonstration sport in the Olympics of 1900 and 1904, soccer became an official Olympic event in 1908. Soccer is universal because its equipment and rules are simple and because of global coverage of the World Cup. No other international event is followed so closely, due mainly to television broadcasting of matches since 1958. (1.7 billion viewers watched the France-Brazil final in 1998). Today, 203 countries are FIFA members."\n\nHope this helps for some history. I have a lot more information I can give you, but my fingers for now are tired of typing. Anyways, you can write me at lasorna@hotmail.com and subject: 'I need Soccer Info' and I'll respond. I hope you do an excellent job on your project. Good Luck.

Arguably soccer was invented in London in 1863 when men sat down to codify the games that they had enjoyed playing at their "public schools". An association called "The Football Association" was formed. The word "soccer" is short for "Association Football", as distinct from "Rugby Football", which was another sport codified by ex public schoolboys in the late 19th century.
