If you think there has been controversy or drama in this one, I suggest you look up 1930.

What a crazy tournament. They only secured a referee 3 hours before the final when they agreed to have a boat waiting at the harbour so the Belgian referee could flee immediately after the game.

Most of the controversy seemed to involve the Argentines!
And they used to different balls in the final! One from each country.
