Both the 1954 and 1958 World Cups were held in Europe. According to the South American countries, it was about time for a World Cup to be hosted again in South America.

At the Carrera Hotel, the defending champions and the hosts qualified automatically for the 16-team finals according to the revised rules. The only innovation FIFA made for the tournament in Chile was to refer to first-round “groups” rather than “pools”. Brazil, England, Italy (in a group containing Chile and Germany FR), and Uruguay were seeded.
Not much has changed when it comes to the group format. The 1958 format, which introduced a new standard, was used with only some tiny modifications. There are four groups, with each group containing four teams. The top 2 teams would advance to the Quarter Finals. The point system didn’t change; 2 points were rewarded for a win and 1 point for a dr...

Group 2 West Germany – Italy 0-0
Estadio Nacional, Santiago – Attendance: 65,440 This was the first time both countries encountered each other in a World Cup. This match showed this typical defensive style many teams were using in this tournament. In addition, both teams were using the famous catenaccio defensive system.

Chile – Italy 2-0
Estadio Nacional, Santiago – Attendance: 66,057 The group match between Chile against Italy was one of the worst World Cup matches ever.
