Soccer short focusing on the 1950 World Cup, Barbosa: The Man Who Made Brazil Cry, begins with a quote that seems so out of touch with reality that it can’t possibly be real.  Yet it is, and it displays the significance of soccer in Brazil and the shock of what transpired that year. The Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues said, “Everywhere has its irrevocable national catastrophe, something like a Hiroshima.  Our catastrophe, our Hiroshima, was the defeat by Uruguay in 1950.” The 1950 tournament was unique because the winner was not decided in a tradittional final, but in a four team final group.  The home country Brazil advanced to the final stage alongside Spain, Sweden, and Uruguay.  Brazil had defeated Sweden 7-1 and Spain 6-1.  They only needed a draw against Uruguay (who had drew with Spain and defeated Sweden) at the Maracana in the final mach to win the World Cup. The fact that Brazil would win the World Cup approaching the match was not a question.  Brazil was called World Champions in the local papers before the game even started.

200,000 people filled the Maracana to celebrate a Brazilian triumph.  Brazil scored in the early stages of the second half to take a 1-0 lead, but Uruguay equalized with just under 25 minutes to go.  Uruguay then took a stunning lead when Alcides Ghiggia slid a shot past Brazilian goalkeeper Moacyr Barbosa in the 79th minute.  Having the original call from the day and hearing the silence in the background is incredible.  Uruguay won 2-1 and one of the great upsets in sports was completed. Barbosa, called the best goalkeeper of his time, and a revolutionary player at his position, was criticized for allowing a soft goal to Ghiggia and took the brunt of the blame.  Not just from a fanbase, but from an entire nation.  The documentary tells a story of Barbosa walking into a store several years later and having a woman tell her son that he was the man who made Brazil cry.
