Dark suit jacket and baggy pants stuck in high black socks, the Belgian referee Jean Langenus advances in the center of the Centenario stadium in Montevideo, a ball stuck under each arm. For the first World Cup final, on July 30, 1930, Uruguay and Argentina each brought their own ball and each intends to try its own.

The second is disputed with that, heavier, of the Uruguayan team. The latter chained three goals and won 4 to 2!
