The long distance is daunting for the strong team.

At that time, there were many strong teams in European football, including Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Hungary and Sweden, but only four European teams came to South America: France, Belgium, the former Yugoslavia and Romania, all of which crossed the Atlantic to Uruguay after a few weeks. The reason why many of the strongest teams are absent is because the distance is too far away, etc.

The opening match of the inaugural World Cup, and the first match in the history of the World Cup, was between France and Mexico, which resulted in a 4-1 victory for France.
