am i right in saying that the host nation have never lost the opening game at a World Cup?

im positive they mentioned it at the start of the game

Something like 12 wins and 6 draws iirc.

And oddly, Mexico have played in the first game a number of times and haven't ever won.

Uruguay 1930 - Lost 4-1 v France

Brazil 1950 - Lost 4-0 v Brazil

Switzerland 1954 - Lost 5-0 v Brazil

etc etc
