The worst World Cup teams ever
By Max Parsons
5. Bolivia - 1950
The 1950 World Cup was a strange one; there were four groups - two consisting of four teams, one with three, and a final group of just two teams after France withdrew from the competition before playing.
In that final group, eventual champions Uruguay were pitted against Bolivia - one match to seal a place in the final stage of the tournament. As it turned out, 'match' wasn't a fitting description of the events that took place on 2 July 1950 as Uruguay swiftly put an end to Bolivia's World Cup campaign with an 8-0 trouncing.
Bit of a wasted journey, really.
