England arrived at their first FIFA World Cup as overwhelming favourites. Their opponents, the United States, included a Haitian dishwasher studying accounting who was not yet an American citizen. England had not lost to a non-British nation in fifty years.The result was so unbelievable that some British newspapers assumed the wire report was a mistake. The man who scored the winning goal, Joe Gaetjens, later vanished in Haiti after being taken by the secret police of dictator François Duvalier.One of the greatest upsets in football history — and one of the sport's most tragic stories.#FootballFiles #FootballHistory #WorldCup #Brazil1950 #EnglandVsUSA #JoeGaetjens #FIFAWorldCup #FootballPodcast #SoccerHistory #WorldCupHistory #FootballStories #HistoricMatches #Upset #USAFootball #EnglandFootball #Brazil1950 #FootballDocumentary #FootballFacts #SoccerPodcast #HistoryPodcast
