1958 World Cup Semi-Final - Brazil vs France (Full Classic Match)

1958 World Cup Semi-Final ~ Brazil vs France (Full Classic Match)



If you want to know how football was played in the 50′s, this game is the perfect place to start. Super talented players dribbling from every position on the field, a complete absence of organisation on midfield, and oceans of space for attack after attack. A thrilling encounter played at a pace impossible in today’s world.
This game is also a great chance to see the legendary Garrincha in action. And a 17 year-old Pele. And the masterful Didi. And the French genius Raymond Kopa. Quite simply, this is a must-watch.

Line-ups:

Brazil
Gilmar – Nilton Santos, Bellini, Orlando, De Sordi – Didi, Zito – Zagallo, Pele, Vava, Garrincha
Coach: Vincente Italo Feola

France
Abbes – Kaelbel, Lerond, Jonquet, Marcel, Vincent, Wisnieski, Penverne, Kopa, Piantoni, Fontaine
Coach: Albert Batteux
