I hope this gives you enough info !!\n\nIn April 1950 Chelsea's Roy Bentley scored the goal against Scotland at Hampden that clinched the British Championship and with it a place in the World Cup Finals in Brazil. \n\nIt was England's first World Cup, having been outside FIFA for the tournaments of 1930, 1934 and 1938. They were one of the favourites. The long-awaited first World Cup Finals match was played on Sunday, 25 June at the famous Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. \n\nThe team was managed by Walter Winterbottom and the players who lined up against Chile were Bert Williams, Alf Ramsey, John Aston, Billy Wright (captain), Laurie Hughes, Jimmy Dickinson, Tom Finney, Wilf Mannion, Roy Bentley, Stan Mortensen and Jimmy Mullen. \n\nIt turned out to be a disappointing game, played in pouring rain before a crowd of just under 30,000. England's attack never got going; the Chilean forwards were lively but generally weak in front of goal. \n\nEngland's first ever World Cup goal was scored by the legendary Stan Mortensen, giving Chilean 'keeper Livingstone no chance with a firm header on 38 minutes. \n\nThree years later "Morty" scored a hat-trick for Blackpool in The FA Cup Final. Yes, the "Matthews Final". \n\nCarvallo struck the bar and "George" Robledo, who played for Newcastle United, hit a post with a free-kick as England were kept on their toes. Chile were more robust in the second half, with Winterbottom's side struggling to find any rhythm in their play. \n\nMidway through the second period England scored a decisive second. Mortensen sent Finney clear down the right and from his cross Mannion steered the ball just inside Livingstone's right-hand post. \n\nFour days later, in Belo Horizonte, England lost embarrassingly to the USA and failed to progress beyond the group stage in their first World Cup.

(m)\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.

Try a website about the MLS (Major League Soccer), you will find some information there.\nThe U.S.A. made the semi-finals of the World Cup in 1930- a great achievement. They beat England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup which was a huge shock. \nThey are ranked 5th in the world at the moment, but that is because they play more games than other nations.
