Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole 1938 World Cup thing, and let me tell you, it’s a rabbit hole! Here’s how I went about it, and what I found.

My Deep Dive into the 1938 World Cup
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. I just typed in “World Cup 1938” – nothing fancy. I wanted a general overview to start.
I skimmed through a bunch of articles, you know, the usual suspects like Wikipedia and some sports history sites. I was looking for the basics: who played, who won, where was it held… that kind of stuff.
Then, I started to get a bit more specific. I was curious about the political climate at the time, because, you know, 1938… Europe was a bit tense, to say the least. So, I started searching for things like “1938 World Cup and politics” and “pre-war World Cup.”
I have done some research on the web and found that it was held in France.
- I dug into some articles about the participating teams. I learned about the controversies, like Austria being annexed by Germany and their team being absorbed into the German squad.
- I checked out some old photos and even tried to find some match footage. It’s amazing to see how much the game has changed! The players at the time were really great.
- I read up on the final match – Italy vs. Hungary. Italy won, by the way, making it their second World Cup title in a row. It must have been a pretty intense game.
And finally, the most important part of my research is about the winner. From the official sources, I found out that Italy has won the Champion, and the runner-up is Hungary. And the final score is 4:2.

Honestly, it’s been a fascinating journey. It’s more than just a football tournament; it’s a snapshot of a really turbulent time in history. It’s crazy to think about all the stuff that was going on in the world while these guys were out there playing football.
