Tonight Sweden play Brazil in a football friendly in London.
Interestingly, the two sides have a 50 year anniversary this year because they also played each other in the 1958 world cup final.
In 1958, Sweden hosted the world cup finals and after disposing of Mexico, Hungary, Wales, USSR and West Germany they met Brazil in the final at Råsunda Stadium which is only about 10 mins from my flat by bus.
In the final they got beat 5-2 with the 17 year old Pele scoring twice. It was his first world cup and Brazil’s first trophy.
I predict a 0-0 tonight.
Another “almost right” prediction (i.e wrong).
Would have been right if the Swedish goalie hadn’t decided to do a “Mark Kerr”.
