　　篇章：1950年球赛门票换巴西世界杯决赛入场券

　　Brazilian soccer fan Joedir Sancho Belmonte missed the 1950 World Cup final to stay home with his sick mother. Sixty-four years later, Belmonte exchanged his original unused ticket for three new tickets to the 2014 final.

　　1950年巴西首次承办世界杯，由于要在家照顾卧病在床的母亲，巴西球迷朱蒂尔桑乔贝尔蒙特错过了巴西与乌拉圭的决赛。六十四年过后，贝尔蒙特用原版未曾使用的决赛门票换取了三张本届世界杯决赛的入场券。

　　Now a white-haired grandfather, Belmonte has never regretted missing the 1950 match, particularly since his mother died just a few days later. I decided not to go, and it was a good decision, he told the reporters.

　　Brazil lost that 1950 final, 2-1, to Uruguay, a historic humiliation that still stings Brazilian fans today. Belmonte, 85, hopes he ll get to see his country regain its honor. I hope Brazil will be able to win this time, he said. This is our revenge. I want to go see our revenge.

　　Unfortunately, there won t be a 2014 rematch between Brazil and Uruguay, as the latter was eliminated on Saturday. If Brazil makes it to the final on July 13, the country could play Mexico, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Greece, USA, Belgium, Argentina or Switzerland.

　　Belmonte s 1950 ticket will be displayed at a Zurich museum that is set to open in 2015, according to Jerome Valcke, FIFA s secretary general. This is something rare we would like to have for the museum, he said.
