Italians: The first European to conquer World Cup

The organiser of World Cup 1934, Italy was able to win the Trophy of the very year and at the same time Italy wrote in the World Cup history for the first time as the First European nation to Win the World Cup ever. Coincidence...Uruguay, who organized WC 1930, the first edition also  had won the World cup 4 years ago the Italy did.
WC 1934 was much more than 30s Wc. The reason can be clear: the matches were held in 8 cities of Italy, the same of which was carried out in a single city in Uruguay. Likewise, the matches were Live broadcasted through Radio over 12 countries, out of the 16 participating. Despite being back by a goal at the beginning of the final, Italy's backbones:Raimond Orsey and Angelo Seavo contributed a goal each, leading their nation to lift the World Cup trophy for the first time, coached by Vetorio Pojo that defended Czechoslovakia by 2-1.
Italy could have lost the final had only the shoot of Czechoslovakian Svoboda hit the post. Italy equaled the game at the 89th minutes withe the goal of Orsey. Italian Coach Pojo then proved himself as a clever one, in the additional time. He made Orsey and Seavo play two different roles in the game then and that helped the later player to create the deciding goal.
