Final tournament

The Italians, winners against the Austrians at the 1934 World Cup now found the Olympic side, with ten changes, a completely different proposition. The Azzurri included players such as Alfredo Foni, Pietro Rava and Ugo Locatelli, who would all play in their World Cup victory in Paris two years later. That they eventually prevailed was due to two incidents: the first when their bespectacled forward Frossi scored, the second when Weingartner, the German referee, was literally restrained from sending off Archille Piccini after fouling two Americans. Italian players held both his arms and covered his mouth in protest. Piccini stayed on the park, Italy won.{{cite web |url=http://my.opera.com/quizzer123/blog/show.dml/325679 |title=Olympic Games : Football Facts - Knowledge Quest - by Snehal |access-date=26 September 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060830060357/http://my.opera.com/quizzer123/blog/show.dml/325679 |archive-date=30 August 2006 }} This was something more than Sweden managed in their tie with Japan the next day in Berlin. Two-nil up within 45 minutes, their loss was recorded by the Swedish commentator, Sven Jerring, calling "Japanese, Japanese, Japanese, Japanese all over" (Japaner, japaner, japaner, överallt japaner) during the final minutes as the Japanese defenders held out to run out as winners 3–2. It marked the first time an Asian side had participated in either the World Cup or Olympic Games football competition and the first time an Asian side emerged victorious. Their neighbours, China, lost 0–2 to Great Britain on the next day. Otherwise there were wins for Peru and the hosts, 9–0 versus Luxembourg.

Quarter-finals

File:Italy1936 olympic.jpg

Italy defeated Japan after Pozzo's decision to include Biagi, who scored goals. The same day at the Poststadion, Berlin before a crowd that included Goebbels, Göring, Hess and Hitler, Germany were knocked out 2–0 by Norway. Goebbels wrote: "The Führer is very excited, I can barely contain myself. A real bath of nerves." Norway went on to draw with Italy in the first round of the 1938 FIFA World Cup. Germany lost 2–0 and Hitler, who had never seen a football match before, and had originally planned to watch the rowing, left early in a huff.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sydney/story/0,,366607,00.html|title=Hitler, huffs and Kanu's 'beautiful moment' - Special reports - guardian.co.uk|website=www.theguardian.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916015837/https://www.theguardian.com/sydney/story/0,,366607,00.html|archive-date=16 September 2016}}

The following day at the Hertha Platz, Austria played Peru. The match was highly contested, and the game went into overtime when the Peruvians drew with the Austrians after being two goals behind. Peru 'scored' five goals during extra time, of which three were disallowed by the referee, and won 4–2.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/nov/24/forgotten-story-football-1936-olympics|title=The forgotten story of … football, farce and fascism at the 1936 Olympics - Paul Doyle|first=Paul|last=Doyle|date=24 November 2011|website=the Guardian|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925130333/http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/nov/24/forgotten-story-football-1936-olympics|archive-date=25 September 2015}}{{cite web| title=Las épocas doradas del fútbol peruano y las Olimpiadas de 1936| work=Beta.upc.edu.pe| url=http://beta.upc.edu.pe/comunicaciones/periodismo/2007_2/TEXTO/tallerdeentrevistas/mariajose_fermi.pdf| access-date=14 February 2009| language=es| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110427004226/http://beta.upc.edu.pe/comunicaciones/periodismo/2007_2/TEXTO/tallerdeentrevistas/mariajose_fermi.pdf| archive-date=27 April 2011}} The Austrians demanded a rematch on the grounds that Peruvian fans had stormed the field, and because the field did not meet the requirements for a football game.{{cite web | title=Controversia Berlín 36.

In the end, the Peruvian defence was never heard, and the Olympic Committee and FIFA sided with the Austrians. The rematch was scheduled to be replayed behind closed doors on 10 August, and later rescheduled to be taken on 11 August.

As a sign of protest against these actions, which the Peruvians deemed as insulting and discriminatory, the complete Olympic delegations of Peru and Colombia left Germany.{{cite web|url=http://www.todosports.com/inicio/articulos/gente/2800.aspx|title=BERLIN, 1936...¡ITALIA CAMPIONE!|date=4 July 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070704145725/http://www.todosports.com/inicio/articulos/gente/2800.aspx|archive-date=4 July 2007}} Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Mexico expressed their solidarity with Peru. Michael Dasso, a member of the Peruvian Olympic Committee, stated: "We've no faith in European athletics. We have come here and found a bunch of merchants."{{cite magazine | url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,756542,00.html | magazine=Time | title=Sport: Olympic Games (Concl'd) | date=24 August 1936 | access-date=2 May 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121191310/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,756542,00.html | archive-date=21 November 2010 }} The game was awarded to Austria by default. In Peru, angry crowds protested against the decisions of the Olympic Committee by tearing down an Olympic flag, throwing stones at the German consulate, refusing to load German vessels in the docks of Callao, and listening to inflammatory speeches, which included President Oscar Benavides Larrea's mention of "the crafty Berlin decision." To this day, it is not known with certainty what exactly happened at Germany, but it is popularly believed that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi authorities might have had some involvement in this situation.{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp |title=Las Olimpiadas de Berlín |access-date=21 August 2007 |work=futbolperuano.com |language=es |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070823005032/http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp |archive-date=23 August 2007 }}

In the last of the quarter-finals Poland, assisted by their forward, Hubert Gad, played out a nine-goal party to defeat the British side; at one time they were 5–1 to the better. The Casual's Bernard Joy scored two as Britain fought back gamely but they ran out of time. Prior to the Games Daniel Pettit received a letter from the Football Association which dealt mostly with the uniform he would wear. As he explained to the academic Rachel Cutler there was a handwritten PS that said: 'As there is a month to go before we leave for Berlin kindly take some exercise.' Pettit ran around his local park.
