World Cup 1954
Switzerland, 16 June - 4 July 1954 (Basel, Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano,
Zürich). Decided at FIFA Congress in Rio de Janeiro, 22 July 1950. Entries
deadline 31 Jan 1953. 45 teams entered, 39 seeded, 36 actually played.
Qualifications drawn 15 Feb 1953. Finals drawn 30 Nov 1953. Quarterfinals
drawn 21 Jun 1954. Semifinals drawn 27 Jun 1954. All draws in Zürich.
General Note: The placement in groups was determined solely on
the base of points, goal difference was disregarded. This led to playoff
matches in two groups (curiosly, teams with worse g/d won).
Matches were extended by an extra-time whenever there happened to be a
draw after normal time. If the draw persisted after the extra time,
the result was final.
