WHEN THE WORLD CUP NEARLY ENDED.

The F.I.F.A world cup , the most exiting and most watched game nearly came to a sudden and sad end around 1946 after the second world war. The reason for it was that both Europe and the U.S.A had suffered during the the world war from 1938 to 1945.Europe said they would not hoist any world cup as they said money would be used to rebuild their country first and not build football stadiums.
F.I.F.A. was in a fix and the world cup which started in 1930 in Uruguay nearly came to a sudden and very sad end.
But at that time Brazil came as a savior and said that F.I.F.A could very well hold the cup in Brazil even though it was not the chosen country to hold the world cup. So the world cup was held in Brazil in the year 1950, and the world cup got another chance to thrill and entertain the world all over again , after all this is the greatest game on earth.. And footballers are paid the most, amoung sportsmen.
