For the first ever World Cup there are no qualifying rounds - participation is by invitation only. Because of recession and the long voyage to Uruguay by ship, lots of European teams declined to take part. In Romania, a decree from King Carol gave the players three months off from their jobs and a guarantee that they will be re-employed on their return. The king himself is also active as coach, but after a great performance from the host country, the king’s men have to pack their bags for an early trip home.
Final: Uruguay - Argentina 4-2
