The 1950 World Cup ended with a final group rather than a knockout, and Brazil needed only a draw in the last game against Uruguay. A crowd recorded at 200,000, the largest in this database, watched Uruguay win 2–1 at the Maracanã. Earlier in the tournament the United States beat England 1–0 in Belo Horizonte.
