Detailed explanation-1: -In the first ever World Cup in 1930, France-who were 1-0 down at the time-were robbed of a point after Marcel Langiller was through on goal and about to potentially equalise, only for the referee Antonio Rego to blow the whistle six minutes before he was supposed to, which meant France lost (h/t Wikipedia).
Detailed explanation-2: -On July 13, 1930, France defeats Mexico 4-1 and the United States defeats Belgium 3-0 in the first-ever World Cup football matches, played simultaneously in host city Montevideo, Uruguay. The World Cup has since become the world’s most watched sporting event.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another unofficial “world cup” arranged before 1930 was Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy held in 1909 and 1911. Besides that, the Summer Olympic football competitions would be a mark of which the best national teams were before 1930.
