Football Fanaticos: The fifty greatest matches

I have over the last 8 months or so tried to find and tell about the 50 greatest matches in World Cup history, as a way of preparing for this coming World Cup in South Africa.
The final list is (in chronological order!):

Not all may agree, and there are some matches that may deserve a position here; for instance: France-Italy 1938, Sweden-West Germany 1958; Chile-Italy 1962; Peru-Brazil 1970, etc....
However, I feel this list is quite good, including matches for their importance, their historical context, their geographical significance and in a few cases, mere political implications. In any case, as are now having a new World Cup, there will soon be more matches to add to this great list!
