Notes

edit
  1. ^ There was no third place match in 1930; the two losing semi-finalists are ranked according to their overall records in the tournament.[1]
  2. ^ a b The final stage in 1950 was a round-robin group of four teams. Coincidentally, one of the last two matches pitted together the top two teams (and the only two who could win the title), and the other was between the bottom two teams. Uruguay v Brazil is often considered the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup.[2][3]
