What? Uruguay 3 – 2 Hungary I think 1942-46 would have been pretty much a three-way war between Italy, Argentina and Uruguay, based on the strength of their national teams and top clubs at the time. The lost World Cup of 1946 would in all likelihood have been hosted by a European nation.

Just pour yourself a gourd, get a bombilla and settle down to an infusion of mate and matter, mate.

Or, I guess more accurately, who could have won? While it would be unfair to expect the same of the opener against a team that has also played exceptionally well and made it to the semi-finals, nobody expected the batsman to falter within the first few overs.

Brazil’s 1950 side was starting to take shape, and Hungary was a regional powerhouse, even before the Golden Team. Argentina 2 – 1 Uruguay.

Sweden 1 – 3 Italy. 45. You know, a war in Europe and parts of Asia and North America has to be a called a world war and all other parts of the world have to drop everything.

Sharma was sent back to the pavilion after scoring just a single run after he allowed a delivery by Mark Henry to carelessly nick his bat and make its way to Tom Latham’s gloves. Kohli, who is the top-ranking ODI batsman in ICC rankings, also failed to defend himself from an lbw after scoring a single run. El Mundial Olvidado is a metaphor, perhaps, more for something forgotten than lost. It was a risky shot to play, delivered by Mark Henry, and Rahul had no reason to play the shot after Sharma and Kohli had already been sent back to the pavilion.

It would have been a sort of idealistic counterpoint to a world that has so often chosen conflict and irrationality over diplomacy and reason.

India end their brilliant World Cup 2019 run with all kinds of respect as the match was a 50-50 right until the last over. Ron Greenwood, a former England manager, once opined: “Football’s all about disappointment.” Well, myth, legend, truth, hyperbole, litotes and inanity, are always on the team sheet in the game of two halves. Well, here they all are. Hungary might have progressed farther than I mentioned above, and Yugoslavia (as usual, I suppose) would have been major darkhorses. It looks like it must be like alighting from a train into a field of sugar cane. Norway 0 – 7 Argentina

Someone, once, had great plans for Patagonia. Copyright © 2015 - 2020 Deccan Chronicle. Finally, the World Cup was scheduled to take place in Brazil in 1950.

At the time, German teams were also banned from competing. They would beat a magnificent Argentina by two goals to one.

Spain 0 – 1 Uruguay, Argentina 2 – 1 Uruguay João Havelange, says, “Even if it is a legend, it’s important to football.” Well, this film crafts a rather nice little legend to reveal a wider truth that’s not just about football.

Brazil would have been eclipsed by their South American rivals, just as they were during the Copa Americas of those days. In 1904, the Argentine government gave a concession of six million hectares (or 5.55m football pitches) to 137 British investors. In a precursor to their Olympic final meeting in two years time, Sweden defeated Yugoslavia by 2 goals to 1 to set up a semi final meeting with Italy. Back then it was a simple blog looking at underground culture in South America. However, the great rivals Argentina and Uruguay were brimming with talent also, and Brazil were quietly confident. The last World Cup before World War II was in 1938 in France. India end their brilliant World Cup 2019 run with all kinds of respect as the match was a 50-50 right until the last over.

When it could labour under the imaginary event, it manages deftly with humour, anachronism, observation and the surreal, to come up with something altogether more interesting. For instance, where else in a nominal documentary about football, could you find a Leni Riefenstahl-like Jewish photographer involved in a “love square” with an ageing Argentine-Italian ex-wedding photographer; a bespectacled Nazi centre forward; a Mapuche Indian goalie with hypnotic powers and a mysterious Hungarian Count?
