1930: Uruguay.

Uruguay was celebrating the 100th years from the birth of its democracy and in a spirit of national resurrection, there has been the construction of the "Seutenario" stadium with a capacity of 100.000, in order giving hospitality for the 1st world football cup. But only 13 teams have responded and only 4 of them were European.

The games characterized by the tough, anti-fair play game. France and Mexico opened the "ceremony"on July 13, and before 10 minutes of play pass, the French goalkeeper felt unconsciousness from a kick in his jaw! And since substitutions have been allowed only 40 years later, the French defender Santel has been put under the posts.
