Great article. Was surprised that the first world cup was hosted and won by Uruguay. Oh and i noticed a mistake in the second world cup – “czechslovikia”. Change it to Czechoslovakia.

Cool post! The logos seem to get better with time. Except for 1938 and 1950 – those two have old-school awesomeness going on.
I am a big fan of the South Africa logo too, I think it captures the spirit of an African World Cup.
