It was exciting in Group IV. England achieved a 4: 4 n.V. against Belgium and the 2: 0 over Switzerland, which in turn defeated Italy 2: 1. But since Italy knocked out the Belgians 4-1, the Confederates and the Azzurri had to go into the playoff. The hosts won a convincing 4-1 victory over their southern neighbors in Basel.
