In 1958, French striker Fontaine set a single World Cup goal record that has not been broken, and the World Football Museum contains the shoes that Fontaine was wearing at that time, and this pair of shoes was actually borrowed.

Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Sweden all expressed the idea of hosting the 1958 World Cup, and during the 1950 World Cup, Sweden managed to convince other countries and eventually won the right to host.
Hosts Sweden and defending champions the Federal Republic of Germany automatically qualified, with 14 places remaining, with Europe holding 9, South America 3, Central and North America 1, and Asia and Africa competing for 1.
It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union participated for the first time, argentina, which had been on a long-term strike, returned for the first time since 1934, and the four British heroes (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) for the first and only time all advanced to the final round.
Soviet goalkeeper Yasin won the Best Goalkeeper Award of the World Cup, which was included in the World Football Museum.
Italy and Uruguay, which were tied for the most World Cup wins (2 times), were both unexpectedly eliminated in the qualifiers, and the next time Italy is out of the qualifiers is 60 years later – well, this year, 2018.
The 1954 World Cup adopted a strange format, although there were 4 teams in each group, but the seeded teams did not need to fight each other, and the draw required extra time. In 1958, the group stage game, which is closer to today, each team plays three group matches, the draw does not need to be overtime, the win is counted as 2 points, the draw is calculated as 1 point, and the top two are compared to the average number of goals if the points are the same. However, if the second and third places have the same points, they need to play an extra game.

At the 1958 World Cup, Garrincha and Pele took to the stage of history and eventually led Brazil to lift the Remit Cup for the first time in history. But before we get to the Brazilian team, we have to tell the story of Fontaine.
The rise of French football seems to be always related to immigration, with kopa being of Polish descent in the 1958 generation, Fontaine being Moroccan, the 1984 generation, Platini being a descendant of Italians, and the 1998 generation of Zidane being Algerian.
Born in Morocco, Giuste Fontaine began his career with a French father and Spaniard mother, moving to Nice in 1953 and then playing for Reims and later as a team-mate with Kopa, who later moved to Real Madrid.
Fontaine's career was condensed into 13 goals in the 1958 World Cup, but his performance in the club field was not bad, he played a total of 200 games in Ligue 1, scoring 165 goals, which was quite efficient. He won Ligue 1 twice in 1958 and 1960, and in the 1958–1959 season he led Reims to the Champions League and met Real Madrid in the final, but eventually lost the match, which achieved four consecutive Champions League titles. Fontaine was the top scorer in the Champions League that year, scoring a total of 10 goals.
Fontaine's achievements in the national team were even more brilliant, and on 17 December 1953, he put on the blue shirt of the French team for the first time and scored a hat-trick in the 8-0 victory over Luxembourg. During his 7 years with the national team, he made 21 appearances and scored 30 goals, 13 of which were completed in just 6 games at the 1958 World Cup, making him the player who scored the most goals in a single game in the history of the World Cup, a record that no one has broken so far, let alone a single world cup, Fontaine has only participated in one World Cup, which is enough to rank fourth in the total goal list in world cup history, behind Klose (16 goals), Ronaldo (15 goals) and Gad Muller (14 goals).
However, before the 1958 World Cup, Fontaine's role in the national team was very awkward, only 5 appearances, and in the winter of 1957 just underwent meniscus surgery, whether he could come back in time to catch up with the game is still unknown. Briar was injured and became the later Fontaine, and interestingly, the sneakers fontaine used to set records were borrowed. "We had no sponsors, only one pair of shoes per person," Fontaine said, "my shoes were cracked shortly after the start of the tournament, and my teammate Stepani Bruy lent me his shoes, and later I said that I could score so many goals because two people were running on the field in a pair of shoes." ”
In 1960, Fontaine suffered a short-legged rejection and retired in 1962, at the age of 28 and 11 months. He took over the coaching staff of France in 1967, but was banned after losing both friendly matches.

The World Cup also saw the 17-year-old Pele lift the Hercules Cup for the first time in the history of Brazil.
In the first article of the World Football Museum, we introduced that when the Brazilian team lost the championship on the doorstep in 1950, there was an amateur player at home who was crying while listening to the broadcast of the game on the radio. It was the first time he had cried in front of his son. The boy, who was only 9 years old at the time, looked at his father and said, "Don't cry, Dad, for you, I will one day win the championship back." ”
At the time, it seemed that this was just the dream of this child. Later we learned that it was a very important moment: the boy became the youngest World Cup winner in history after 8 years.
In 1958, when the incredible Brazilian team won the world championship for the first time, he was one of the team, he was Pele.
After winning the 1958 World Cup, the 17-year-old Pele leaned into the arms of his teammates and cried with joy.
Before 1958, the World Cup hosted by south American countries, the South American team won the championship, the European country hosted the World Cup, the European team won the championship, Brazil was the first team to break this law.
The Frankfurt Ring newspaper exaggerated that European words could not describe the Brazilian control of football, and the fake movements of samba football had no words to describe.
How did Brazil suddenly rise? Since Kubicic's election as President of Brazil in 1955, Brazil has entered a new era, with GDP growth of more than 10% per year and the establishment of a modern capital, Brasilia. Brazilian football has also matured with the development of the economy, and the fusion of Brazilian dance, music, poetry and football has brought about a unique style of football.
More importantly, this year's Brazilian team received unprecedented preferential treatment, before leaving for Sweden, the team prepared for a month in Brazil, the team logistics were meticulous to chefs, dentists, sports psychologists, scouts, etc., with government financial support, all the team members were pulled to the top hospitals in Rio for physical examination, and a large number of diseases and malnutrition were found: almost all players had intestinal parasites, some players were anemic, and some players even had syphilis. From the mouths of these players, more than 300 teeth were extracted!
At that time, the Brazilian team had a lot of money, which can be seen from the crazy sweeping of the department store market after their victory. This also gave birth to a passage that said that when Garrincha won the championship, he bought a radio, which was probably as sought-after as the iPhone of a few years ago, but every time he opened and tuned it, it was broadcast in Swedish and English, and he couldn't understand it and wanted to throw it away. Bailey comforted him, saying that I would take it cheaper. Until he returned home, Garincha said that the Baileys were good, really good.
The World Football Museum contains Pele's sneakers from 1958.
There is actually a certain basis for this paragraph, when the psychologist of the Brazilian team before the game, Cavajas, did a mental test, and the Brazilian twin stars Pele and Garincha failed, Pele was only 17 years old, still young, and Garincha... In short, neither of them had a chance to play in the first two games, after a 3-0 win over Austria and a 0-0 draw with England, Pele and Garincha's teammates stopped working and collectively asked the manager to use the two talents, Pele scored after the knockout round, scored the only goal of the game against Wales in the quarter-final, scored a hat-trick in the semi-finals to help the team eliminate France, and the final was scored twice.
It was the first time the World Cup had been broadcast live on a large scale, and the world remembered the 17-year-old.
