Uruguay 2 Brazil 1 (1950): The game that came to be known as the 'Maracanazo' but may be seen as less of a traumatic defeat now. Hosts Brazil were drawing 1-1 and under the old format were just 10 minutes from winning their first World Cup in the Maracana. However, their hopes and that of a nation were dashed as Alcides Ghiggia lashed in a shot to make it 2-1. Despite there being 200,000 fans packed into the stadium Ghiggia, who is now 87 and the only member of the two teams still alive, said the crowd were reduced to a 'great stunning silence'.
