Football is my greatest passion, although it has only been so for the last 6 years.  Previous to that I was busy having babies and working all hours, no time to watch TV.  But now my kids are grown up and I can watch as much as I like.  My favourite to win the FIFA World Cup 2006 has to be England, but I will be keeping an eye on France also (Thierry Henry)

1930\n\nThe first Football World Cup was staged in 1930. The games were awarded to Uruguay as they were the Olympic champions at the time and since they were celebrating the centenary of their independence. As well as being the first ever hosts, Uruguay also became the inaugural champions, beating Argentina in the final, 4-2.\n\nThe first World Cup was the only one without qualification; teams were invited. Due to the long and costly trip across the Atlantic, very few European teams chose to participate; two months before the tournament started, no team from that continent had officially entered. FIFA's president, Jules Rimet, intervened, along with the Uruguayan government, which promised to pay the travel expenses of any travelling European team. Eventually four teams made the three-week sea trip: Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia.\n\nThe thirteen teams were drawn into four groups, with all the games taking place in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Since there were no qualifying games, the opening two matches of the tournament were also the first ever World Cup games, taking place simultaneously on July 13th; France beat Mexico 4-1, while the USA defeated Belgium 3-0 at the same time in Estadio Gran Parque Central. France's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first ever World Cup goal. The USA's Bert Patenaude scored the first hat-trick in World Cup history, as his team beat Paraguay 3-0. The four eventual group winners, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, and the USA, moved to the semifinals.\n\nThe two semi-final matches saw identical 6-1 scores, as Argentina beat the US and Uruguay defeated Yugoslavia. Because the traditional third-place playoff match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the Final as Yugoslavia refused to play the 3rd place play-off against the USA. [citation needed] However, some sources, notably the FIFA Bulletin from 1984, affirm that the match occurred (Yugoslavia - US 3-1). [1] This information has never been officially confirmed.\n\nThe first ever World Cup Final was played at the Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, on July 30th. A seemingly innocuous controversy overshadowed the build-up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second. The game ended 4-2 to Uruguay (who had trailed 2-1 at half time) who added the title World Cup Winners to the already prestigious mantle of Olympic Champions, as Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy, which was later to be named after the man himself. Only one player from that final, Francisco Varallo (who played as a striker for Argentina), is still alive today.

Hi there!\n\nBBC is transmitting since march 2006 a series of documentaries about World Cup Stories. \n\nEach program focuses on one nation's World Cup achievements, contrasting victories and defeats on the field with events and influences off it ( such as war, economic and political instabilities, etc).\n\nSince is World Cup's year, why don't you choose Football, more precisely the World Cup, as a great occasion to be your main theme ?\n\nIf you need inspiration, I suggest you try to watch specially these 2 documentaries ( they are pretty cool ):\n\nBrazil: The Golden Team\nThink of the World Cup and you automatically think of Brazil. \n\nWe tell the story of how, inspired by the incredible talents of two of the greatest footballers of all time, Pele and Garrincha, Brazil put behind it one of the World Cup's greatest upsets to dominate the competition over the last 50 years. \n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArgentina: From Darkness Into The Light\n\nWe see how Argentina emerged from the suffering of military dictatorship and the Falklands War to find a new national self-confidence in the 1980s inspired by the genius of Diego Maradona. \n\nFor more information you can try to access this page:\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/4977066.stm\n\nOr just go to bbc.com \n\nI hope this can help you.\n\nGood Luck !\n\nClaire ;P

Of course. The world cup is the greatest sports stage in the world. The world cup is the world's best fighting for a gold trophy.\nPeople might say that olympic soccer is close but it is not seeing that no professionals can play. The world cup is the best.

the  world cup is nothing like the world series, 32 teams from all over the globe have been through tough qualifying groups (5-10 teams in each) and have been playing these games for nearly 2 years to qualify for the tournament...these teams are now in 8 groups of 4 teams and will play each team in its group and the top 2 teams in each group go through to the next round ( knock-out stages) then the quarter finals, semi finals, and final this competition is only every 4 years, it all begins on the 9th of june and the smart money is on Brazil to win again, but Germany, Italy,England, argentina, Spain ,Holland or one of the African teams could do it...I hope you enjoy the tournament, it is the best competition in the world !!!

Yes, it can be very frustrating! I've entered each and every contest there is to ensure that I can have a flight ticket to Germany for the World Cup this year. Still have yet to win! :(
