Man swaps unused 1950's WC ticket for a 2014 one

    In a World Cup of charming human interest stories, this might just be the clincher.
    85-year-old Joedir Belmont had a ticket for the 1950 World Cup final in Brazil but, for a number of reasons, he was unable to attend one of the most famous games in the history of the sport.
    A few months ago he sent a letter to FIFA explaining that he had an unused ticket in his possession after hearing a football museum was due to open. On Friday, he handed it over to FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke and was rewarded for his generosity with tickets to this year’s final for him and two of his children.
    Belmont will be hoping Brazil can make it all the way and not blow it on the day like they did last time. He might not make another one in 64 years time.
