The critical personality of the 2d world cup was Benitto Mussolini, who had great power in Italy. His picture was everywhere you looked. He was clearly the main person of this 2d world cup.
This time there have been no group classifications but a dumb knock-out system, that made Brasil and Argentina which traveled 8.000 miles with a steamship to lose even from their first match. The world cup characterized by the unwillingness of the "poor" referees, to punish any Italian player for illegal behaviour into the pitch, due to the presence of the great dictator Mussolini. This led this led to a tough and unpunished game from the side of the Italian players. It's obvious that no other team under these circumstances would have the slightest chance to win the cup except Italy of course!
