question ?

why FIFA rejected the entries of Iceland, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cuba, South Vietnam and India ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blain Toddi (talkcontribs) 07:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Austria

Austria's 1st appearance was in 1934 and they were a joiint team with Germany in 1938. Would 1938 not count for an appearance? 76.68.37.245 (talk) 02:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elimination of Spainish team

Spain's non-qualification was unexpeceted. Spain an Turkey were the only two teams in group 6. After a 4-1 victory of Spain in Madrid (January 6th, 1954), Turkey won 1-0 in Istanbul (March 14th, 1954). There were no rules given regarding "better goal difference". On March 17th, there a third match, played in Rome, ended with a 2-2-tie (after over time). Coin toss of Italian Referee Georgio Bernadi was putting Turkey through to Switzerland. Apropos, Spainish teams was the first which was eliminated by a coin toss. --213.225.38.186 (talk) 15:08, 28 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Substitution of injured players

In the qualification, the FIFA allowed substitution of injured players. In a letter from September 16th, 1953, to the National Associations affiliated to the F .I .F .A . taking part in the Qualifying Competition, it's written:

» The Regulations governing the World Championship - Jules Rimet Cup 1954 do not forbid formally the substitution of injured players. In accordance with the recommendation of the Referees' Committee of the F .I .F .A . substitution of injured players has therefore been tolerated. This recommendatión provides that the goalkeeper can be replaced during the whole match and another player up to half-time if they have been injured during the match and are unable to continue to play. This substitution is only permitted, however, if both Associations concerned agree. We would like to inform you that the Bureau of the Organising Committee shall inform the Committee of this question at its next meeting to be held on November 16, 1953. Until that date the above arrangement shall be tolerated. On the other hand no substitution of injured players shall be permitted for the matches of the Final Competition. «   --213.225.38.186 (talk) 15:13, 28 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]
