    75th anniversary of the legendary Maracanazo, Uruguay winning the World Cup v. a seemingly unbeatable hosts Brazil in front of over 200,000 home fans

    I found this gem online. For non-soccer fans, this match is considered worldwide as one of the great feats in the sport's history. It's "Hollywood-level" stuff. Brazil of 1950 went on what's still considered the most dominant run in World Cup history, destroying Sweden and Spain 7-1 and 6-1 . On the other side, you had Uruguay, their tiny (population wise) rivals, who were already revered as an unlikely soccer superpower. But, this game really cemented them as an all-time legendary soccer nation. Even more dramatic, Brazil only needed a draw to win the World Cup.
