By this stage of the battle, the dead were stacked in heaps and the French woundedlay strewn across the field.

 The Hindu : Controversies: Battle of Bordeaux
It was by an unhappy chance that the new stadium in Bordeaux was to be inaugurated on June 12, 1938 with the quarterfinal match between Brazil, joint favourites with Italy for the title, and Czechoslovakia, which had made the grade in contrasting styles.
The Poles who had been conquered 6-5 after an epic battle which saw hat-tricks (four goals each, in fact) by eventual top-scorer Leonidas da Silva and Ernest Willimowski had sportingly sent the Brazilians a good luck telegram before their quarterfinal.
With the two sides boasting several stars that by then were the toast of football fans, the world over, the tie between the two was thus keenly awaited.
