The Football Ramble’s Guide To… The first ever World Cup

The World Cup is still brilliant, but it’s got its problems. And yet the issues we face today aren’t as confusing and downright obscene as those faced by the thirteen teams who competed in the first ever World Cup. There was - we stress - some truly outrageous moments. Teams and fans missed their steamboats there, brawls erupted on the pitches and in the stands, kings picked some of the teams and a defeat in the final incited a literal military coup. Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete are your insightful tour guides! Let us know what you thought of today’s Guide.
