On July 13, 1930, France defeats
Mexico 4-1 and the
United States defeats Belgium 3-0 in the
first-ever World Cup football matches, played simultaneously in host city Montevideo, Uruguay. The World Cup has since become the world’s most watched sporting event.

oh happy day :)
The Women didn't get their World Cup until 1991 - 61 years later. Crying shame! Since 1930 the US Men's team has yet to bring home the trophy. The US women have done it twice...so far ;)
