0:02:56 > 0:02:58The 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Remember the 1954 World Cup?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Remember what happened in Berne?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28How Hungary lost in the final against all the odds,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and against the rank outsiders West Germany.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Fritz Walter, the West German captain,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41receives the World Cup from Jules Rimet himself.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45The World Cup was launched in 1930.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48The first world champions were the first hosts, Uruguay.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51In 1934 and 1938 it was Italy.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54In 1950, Uruguay won the World Cup for a second time,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and in 1954, of course, West Germany.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09The 1958 World Cup would revolve around three qualifying regions -
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Latin America, the United Kingdom and Europe.
0:05:14 > 0:05:1951 nations entered, but only 16 could compete at the finals.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21In Central and South America, that meant Mexico,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24who eliminated Canada, the United States and Costa Rica.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28It meant Brazil, who overcame Peru to reach their sixth finals,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Paraguay, who beat Uruguay and Colombia,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and finally Argentina, who beat Bolivia and Chile.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Britain and Ireland provided no fewer than four finalists,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43only a decade after the home countries returned to FIFA.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Scotland beat Spain and Switzerland in the qualifying round.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Northern Ireland beat double world champions Italy.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Wales emerged from the lucky losers draw,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54to beat Israel for a place in the finals.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And lastly, England qualified,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59despite the ravages of the Munich air disaster.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Continental Europe provided the majority of the finalists, including
0:06:06 > 0:06:10the Soviet Union, who had entered the World Cup for the first time.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The Germans were seeded direct to the finals as holders,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16without facing the challenge of a qualification round.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22The finals were held in Sweden,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25where 12 towns and cities waited expectantly to get
0:06:25 > 0:06:27the show on the road.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29All the formalities of the draw are over, and now,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32the 1958 World Cup finals can begin.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The Swedish capital of Stockholm does not know quite what is going
0:06:37 > 0:06:39to hit it in the next few weeks.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Its sedate old buildings and ordered traffic are about to be
0:06:42 > 0:06:45infused with the passion of the world's greatest game.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53On June 8th, the moment soccer has awaited for four years -
0:06:53 > 0:06:56the opening match between Sweden and Mexico.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Graced by the presence of King Gustaf,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Antonio Carbajal, Mexico's goalkeeper captain,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04introduces the king to his team-mates.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07The Swedes seem as delighted to meet him as he is to meet them.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Mexico are impatient to start, and their excitement is
0:07:18 > 0:07:22matched by the exuberance of their travelling fan club.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Carbajal Greets Sweden's captain Nils Liedholm.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34At last, the finals are under way.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37No defensive nonsense about Mexico, in the white shorts -
0:07:37 > 0:07:39they attack right from the start.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Sweden launch their first attack through winger Lennart Skoglund,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59who plays for Inter of Italy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Mexico's fans are worried momentarily.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Then Mexico regain possession, with Flores controlling midfield.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Calderon outwits the Swedish defence,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and keeper Svensson is twice forced into desperate action.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34"That's better," the Mexican fans think,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37"They've got a nasty shock coming to them."
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Kurt Hamrin of Fiorentina of Italy finds Liedholm who plays for Milan.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50His cross picks out Skoglund,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and when he has teased the defender enough,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Agne Simonsson opens the scoring both in the match and in the finals.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The crowd celebrate, well, maybe not quite all.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The second half is all Sweden.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Hamrin puts on a juggling act and Simonsson heads over the bar.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14It's pretty to watch.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Liedholm comes close with this drive which thunders just wide.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Now it's Hamrin, unmarked again, and this time brought down - penalty!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Soviet referee Latychev has no doubt.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Liedholm slides the kick home,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42but the referee tells him to take it again.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51This time, his shot flies low into the other corner.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Simonsson later makes it 3-0,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56to make sure Sweden get off to a flying start.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Fans from abroad are flocking into Sweden by road and by ship.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11The ports of Gothenburg
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and Malmo are gateways to the best in world football.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Malmo plays host to the defending world champions West Germany.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Hans Schafer is the captain.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Goalkeeper - Herkenrath.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Right-half - Eckel.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Inside-left - Schmidt.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Left-half - Szymaniak.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Right winger - Rahn.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Fritz Walter.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Right-back - Stollenwerk.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Uwe Seeler.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Centre forward - Erhardt.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Rugged left-back - Juskowiak.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53England's Reg Leafe is the referee.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The opposition comes from Argentina, champions of South America.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Argentina's best forwards have been sold to Europe,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02but they still surprise the Germans, when right wing
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Oreste Omar Corbatta shoots them ahead after only three minutes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19West Germany line up only four of the World Cup winning team of 1954.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22When they attack, their first shot is provided by one of the new men,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25the young centre forward from Hamburg named Uwe Seeler.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Argentina thrill the crowd
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and worry the Germans with some typically spectacular football,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39but the predominantly German crowd are brought to their feet only
0:11:39 > 0:11:42when Rahn, the cup-winning hero of 1954 equalises.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49For the next ten minutes, the outcome hangs in the balance.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Herkenrath punches clear and Germany attack.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Schafer finds space...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56..and Seeler scores at the far post.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's his first goal in internationals for his country.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Germany go in 2-1 ahead at half-time.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Argentina start the second half.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Nestor Rossi still plays attacking centre-half and for a few minutes,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21these old-fashioned tactics catch the Germans off guard.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36When Germany force a corner, Rossi is back in defence
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and Schafer comes off worst in a clash of heads.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40No substitutes, remember.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Though Germany are reduced to ten men, they keep up the attack.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Walter finds Rahn and his shot is saved by Argentina's famous
0:12:53 > 0:12:54goalkeeper Carrizo.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Herkenrath does not look as secure under pressure,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05but it's Germany who score the decisive next goal.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Carrizo is beaten by Rahn for the second time in the match.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Ten minutes to go and Germany are home and dry.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22The fans think the journey worthwhile.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Manager Herberger knows there's still lots of work ahead.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Skipper Schafer is back to take this corner in the closing seconds.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Carrizo catches the ball, but Germany carry off the two points.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So, opening defeats for Mexico and Argentina -
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Latin American football looks all at sea, but the provincial
0:13:52 > 0:13:56town of Uddevall is about to see the picture change dramatically.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07The new stadium is packed to its 21,000 capacity.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And the film crews are out in force as well.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Everyone wants to see the team who are acclaimed as
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the new sensation of the New World - Brazil.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Austria are their opponents, captained by Gerhard Hanappi.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33It is a classic meeting - South American technique
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and finesse, against European craft and power.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49In the 37th minute,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Brazil's midfield general Didi finds space on the left.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Centre forward Altafini also known as the nickname "Mazzola"
0:14:56 > 0:14:58back home, shoots Brazil ahead.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Austria make a determined start to the second half.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Right wing Horak takes on the Brazil defence,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and Buzek's shot is acrobatically saved by Gilmar.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Austria throw everybody forward and are caught on the break.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Left-back Nilton Santos takes everyone by surprise as
0:15:22 > 0:15:25he sprints up into attack to shoot past Szanwald.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27That is 2-0 to Brazil.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Is this number three?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35No, Dino Sani's cross is confidently caught by Szanwald.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37He's never seen anything like this before,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40as Brazil hold firm against renewed Austrian pressure.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Immediately, Brazil seek to extend their lead.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Full-back Nilton de Sordi charges up in attack,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48but shoots, well, like a full-back.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Better leave these things to the real attackers.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Centre forward Altafini splits open the Austrian defence
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and makes no mistake.
0:15:57 > 0:15:583-0 to Brazil.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05There's plenty of action going on all over Sweden.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07In Gothenburg, for example, England are the opposition
0:16:07 > 0:16:12as the Soviet Union enter the World Cup finals for the first time ever.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15England have patched a team together after the tragic deaths of
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Manchester United's Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25England captain Billy Wright wins the toss.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The Soviets face them with a goalkeeper named Lev Yashin,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32who is nicknamed "The Lion", and they set the game under way.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35They score two in what is an unlucky 13th minute for England.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Simonyan is the scorer.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Early in the second half, Ivanov scores another.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51England recover - Yashin looks more like a dancing bear than
0:16:51 > 0:16:55a lion, as Derek Kevan pulls a goal back.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58England look to their great veteran Tom Finney to save them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The loose ball is stabbed home by Kevan, but referee
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Zsolt of Hungary disallows the goal for a foul on Yashin.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Yashin carries on after treatment
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and is soon back in the thick of the action.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29When the Soviets attack,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32it is the turn of England Colin McDonald to shine.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Time is running out, when England are awarded a penalty.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Finney slides the ball past Yashin.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43At 2-2, both sides can claim an honourable draw.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Vasteras is another provincial centre falling under
0:17:48 > 0:17:50the spell of the World Cup.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52That is hardly surprising considering the quality
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and excitement Yugoslavia and France are about to serve up
0:17:55 > 0:17:58as they come face to face in Group 2.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01France thrashed Paraguay 7-3 in their first match,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04but Yugoslavia were held 1-1 by Scotland,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07so this is a match the eastern Europeans must win.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16A nearby tree provides an excellent vantage point as France go ahead
0:18:16 > 0:18:18after only four minutes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24The scorer is Just Fontaine,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27playing only because of injury to Rene Bliard,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but who scored a hat-trick previously against Paraguay.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35France are not so impressive in defence.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Goalkeeper Remetter decides to go walkabout
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and presents Milos Milutinovic with the equaliser.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Ironically, Milutinovic is top of the shopping list
0:18:43 > 0:18:44of French club Racing Paris.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Here's Remetter under pressure again,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53not that everybody in the crowd noticed.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01He nearly misses the most important action as Yugoslavia take the lead.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Right winger Todor Veselinovic is the scorer this time.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09France, built on the basis of the Reims European Cup final team,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12press for an equaliser of their own.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Piantoni's free kick causes panic in the Slav defence.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Fontaine does eventually pop the ball in the net, but before the end,
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Veselinovic strikes again - 3-2 to Yugoslavia is the final score.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31That goal comes three minutes from time.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The French hangs their heads in dismay.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Yugoslavia, quarterfinalists is 1954, are now top of the group.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Sweden, as hosts,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42benefit from playing all their first round games in Stockholm.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Their second match is against Hungary,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47but not the Hungary of 1954.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Stars such as Puskas, Kocsis
0:19:49 > 0:19:53and Czibor fled their country in the 1956 revolution.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55This is an older, sadder Hungary.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Among the new players, Mate Fenyvesi is a promising left winger,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04but much of his work goes to waste.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Instead, it is Sweden's star winger Hamrin who is the more potent force.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Skoglund, from the left,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22provokes a chapter of errors in the Hungarian defence,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and Hamrin shoots past Grosics from close range.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Grosics is one of only two survivors from the 1954 team.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35The other is the number five, right-half Jozsef Bozsik.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Back home, he is a member of parliament, here
0:20:37 > 0:20:41he is his team's Prime Minister, directing attacking policy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Sandor passes inside to Szojka.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Bozsik's pass is intercepted
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and Lajos Tichy shoots against the bar.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Hungary claim a goal - referee Jack Mowat says no, no,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00correctly giving the defence the benefit of the doubt.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02And what a benefit -
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Sweden catch the Hungarians wide open at the back
0:21:04 > 0:21:08and Hamrin's shot ricochets beyond Grosics into the net.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Hungary are now 2-0 down, but keep battling away.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21What Grosics and his men need is a little bit of luck,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and they get it when Sweden are awarded a penalty,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and Liedholm rolls his kick the wrong side of the post.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Grosics is in inspired mood, saving at point-blank range from Simonsson.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49His fine form gives his team-mates new heart,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and Tichy strikes a magnificent consolation goal.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Sweden's victory however, ensures them
0:21:57 > 0:22:01a place in the quarterfinals, with one group match still to play.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05So to Gothenburg and the new Ullevi Stadium,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09a modernistic masterpiece of concrete and steel.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13This is a Group 4 match between the artists of Brazil
0:22:13 > 0:22:14and the artisans of England.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21The stadium is jam packed as Brazil kick off,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24but England are first to launch a threatening attack.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37In the end, it is the Brazilian captain Bellini who breaks up
0:22:37 > 0:22:40the attack and sets his own forward line going.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Brazil are exciting all the experts with their new tactical formation.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Instead of the old WM, created before the war
0:22:48 > 0:22:53by Herbert Chapman, Brazil line up in what is known as 4-2-4.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The fans remain disappointed however as neither side
0:23:01 > 0:23:03can find a way to goal.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Didi, a great midfield general, controls the game in midfield,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13but England know all about his passing skills.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Towards the end of the first half, Brazil eventually threaten a goal,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37but England's goalkeeper Colin McDonald cannot be intimidated -
0:23:37 > 0:23:39even when he is beaten,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42there is Ronnie Clayton to clear the ball into touch.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44England take an attacking turn of their own.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Haynes plays a one-two with Bryan Douglas, his shot catches
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Gilmar by surprise and demands a save at second attempt.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The fans look in vain for someone to break the deadlock.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05This draw is enough to send Brazil to the top of the group.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08When Czechoslovakia face West Germany, Sweden's king is there
0:24:08 > 0:24:12again to show that even he can't get enough of the superb football.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20WHISTLE
0:24:27 > 0:24:31The Czechs have promising young half-backs in Masopust and Pluskal.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34German goalkeeper Herkenrath is soon reaching for his gloves to
0:24:34 > 0:24:37help combat their attacking prowess.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38When Germany attack,
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Stollenwerk's high cross sends Dolejsi into a panic.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Fortunately for him, Walter's header clips the top of the bar.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Now it's Herkenrath's time to panic - he gives away a penalty.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Jan Popluhar converts the kick - 1-0 to Czechoslovakia.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05The world champions are threatened by defeat.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Rahn, the old war horse attempts to shoot an instant equaliser.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11His shot flies narrowly wide.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Now Czechoslovakia go further ahead -
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Masopust's shot is punched away by Herkenrath,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17and when the loose ball is pumped
0:25:17 > 0:25:20back into the penalty box, there is Zikan to score.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24But if there is one particular quality associated with
0:25:24 > 0:25:27the Germans at the World Cup, it is fighting spirit -
0:25:27 > 0:25:29they don't know when they are beaten.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Manager Herberger wills his men back into the game.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Czechoslovakia attack again, this time the Germans are ready for them.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's a tough World Cup baptism for youngsters
0:25:45 > 0:25:47such as Karl-Heinz Schnellinger.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53West Germany kick off the second half.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56They know they need an early goal, and they get one.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Rahn takes a corner on the right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Up go the heads and when Dolejsi catches the ball,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09he is charged over the line by Schafer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Remarkably, referee Arthur Ellis gives the goal.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The photographers line up to catch Czech disappointment over
0:26:16 > 0:26:18the decision made by the referee.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22West Germany, encouraged, equalise through Rahn.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The German fans are delighted.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27They demand more goals and nearly get them.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Czechoslovakia are running out of steam, but not the Germans.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Dolejsi saves from Rahn,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46then grabs the ball just before Seeler can pounce.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54The news goes around the world - the holders have lost their touch.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Rahn, missing at point-blank range, proves the point.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10West Germany keep up the pressure, to no avail.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Bernie Klodt breaks down the left
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but Seeler's diving header flies over the bar.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And that's how it finishes, in a 2-2 draw
0:27:17 > 0:27:20with the West German machine apparently running down.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25WHISTLE BLOWS
0:27:30 > 0:27:34One point from that draw keeps West Germany on top of Group 1
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and keeps Czechoslovakia at the bottom.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43In Group 3 at Sandviken, the atmosphere is very different.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45In fact, the Mexicans seem more interested
0:27:45 > 0:27:47in perfecting their tennis than their soccer.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56The Mexicans know they won't win the World Cup
0:27:56 > 0:27:59so they intend to enjoy the trip as much as they can.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01There's no way you could lock these Mexicans away
0:28:01 > 0:28:03in a secluded training camp.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It just wouldn't be right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Mexico's task is to try to pull themselves together
0:28:13 > 0:28:15to take on the fading might of Hungary.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The match draws a 13,000 attendance,
0:28:21 > 0:28:25including some colourfully dressed Latin American fans.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Referee Eriksson of Finland leads out the two teams.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Both Hungary and Mexico are in the same boat.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34They must win to stand a chance of reaching the quarterfinals.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Mexico are in the light shirts, playing from left to right.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42It seems as if they've all been playing too much tennis.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53With 19 minutes gone,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Tichy finds right winger Sandor
0:28:55 > 0:28:59and fires a return pass below Carbajal.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Early in the second half, Hungary score again through Tichy.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Then Laszlo Budai robs a defender in midfield
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and when Tichy does the same in the penalty box,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18he is forced wide of the goal.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Referee Eriksson awards Hungary an indirect free kick
0:29:21 > 0:29:24and, from the touch, Sandor makes no mistake.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30The Hungarian bench will soon have more to cheer.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Budai catches Mexico's defence at sixes and sevens
0:29:33 > 0:29:34and inside forward Gonzalez
0:29:34 > 0:29:38sees his clearance cannon off Carbajal and into the net.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Referee Eriksson, unsighted, checks with the linesman.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44A goal it is.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Mexico, beaten 4-0, are out.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Hungary must now face Wales in a play-off
0:29:49 > 0:29:51for a place in the quarterfinals.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05At Eskilstuna, Latin America's representatives are Paraguay.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10The kids can't wait to see their South American skill and technique
0:30:10 > 0:30:11on display against Yugoslavia.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16But the match has been running only 12 minutes
0:30:16 > 0:30:19when Ognjanovic opens the scoring for Yugoslavia.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Paraguay refuse to be downcast,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31though it takes a fine save from keeper Aguilar
0:30:31 > 0:30:33to keep them in the game.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36At the other end,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38a goalmouth scramble ends in an equaliser from Parodi.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Both forward lines keep the defences busy,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49but then Veselinovic catches out Aguilar
0:30:49 > 0:30:52with a shot that creeps in at the near post.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Film companies are out in force,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05but their cameras don't show Yugoslav keeper Beara
0:31:05 > 0:31:08in his best light when Aguero equalises.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Rajkov restores Yugoslavia's lead,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27but the best goal of all is reserved for Paraguay.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Parodi is the juggler - Romero, the scorer.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40That same day, at Orebro,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43free-scoring France play unhappy Scotland.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45The Scots have lost both their matches,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47but their fans are as optimistic as ever.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03France rely on the scavenging of Fontaine
0:32:03 > 0:32:06and the scheming of Raymond Kopa from Real Madrid.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09They will soon wipe the smiles from the faces of the Scottish followers.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14At first, the roles are reversed -
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Fontaine makes the opening goal for Kopa.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Then, almost immediately, Scotland have a chance to hit back.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Sadly for them,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Charlton's John Hewie misses his penalty.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39When goalkeeper Abbes is hurt in a scramble
0:32:39 > 0:32:40after saving from Imlach,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42tempers boil over.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Some in the crowd grow restless.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48SHOUTING AND WHISTLING
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Others climb higher in the trees for a better view.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58France make the most of their escapes -
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Roger Piantoni launches an attack down the left
0:33:01 > 0:33:04and Fontaine shoots his pass beyond Bill Brown,
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Scotland's new goalkeeper.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Into the second half, Piantoni tears Scotland apart again.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22This time, Fontaine's shot ricochets away off the bar.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29But he is still carried in triumph on the shoulders of the crowd
0:33:29 > 0:33:30at the final whistle.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33France are, after all, safely through to the quarterfinals.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Scotland finish bottom.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Back in Gothenburg, Brazil line up
0:33:43 > 0:33:45against the Soviet Union.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Brazil have brought in three new players
0:33:56 > 0:33:58following the goalless draw against England.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00At the insistence of the players themselves,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02manager Vicente Fiola
0:34:02 > 0:34:05has brought in a bandy-legged right winger named Garrincha
0:34:05 > 0:34:08and a 17-year-old inside left named Pele.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09This is Garrincha -
0:34:09 > 0:34:12he is about to take the Soviet defence in general,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15and full-back Kuznetsov in particular, apart.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Only the post saves goalkeeper Yashin.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29The Soviets launch a rare attack - goalkeeper Gilmar saves easily.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Brazil go ahead. Orlando provides the pass.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Centre forward Vava does the rest.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45The Soviets are lucky to be only one down
0:34:45 > 0:34:47as Brazil start the second half.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Inside right Didi is the master in midfield -
0:35:00 > 0:35:03no wonder Spain's Real Madrid want to buy him.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Didi again - the Soviets look pedestrian by contrast.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Now he links up with Garrincha
0:35:18 > 0:35:22and Vava makes it 2-0 with his own second goal of the game.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40The Soviet defeat means that, this same day in Boras,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42a victory for England over Austria
0:35:42 > 0:35:44will take veteran skipper Billy Wright, Derek Kevan,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Bobby Robson and their team-mates into the quarterfinals.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Sweden's own hero, inside forward Gunnar Gren,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53is there to spy out possible opposition.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Austria, who have made six changes after their defeat
0:36:04 > 0:36:06by the Soviet Union on the same pitch,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09have nothing to play for but pride.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11The early exchanges keep the commentators busy,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13but not the goalkeepers.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37That is, until this unstoppable drive from Karl Koller
0:36:37 > 0:36:39puts Austria into the lead.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49England begin to grow desperate in the search for an equaliser.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Clayton, Kevan and Douglas all have shots blocked
0:36:51 > 0:36:53in the Austrian goalmouth.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06At half-time, it is still 1-0 to Austria.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08England race back into the attack.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Haynes drives deep into the Austrian defence.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Kevan wins a ball in the air.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Goalkeeper Szanwald drops it
0:37:18 > 0:37:20and Haynes shoots home the equaliser.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28A Union Jack hangs defiantly from Colin McDonald's goal net,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30but it brings him no luck.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Korner shoots through a crowded penalty box
0:37:32 > 0:37:35and the ball flies in the net, off that very post.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Time is running out for England - defeat would put them
0:37:45 > 0:37:47on the next boat or plane home.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Fortunately, Kevan scores a late equaliser
0:37:49 > 0:37:51and England finish joint second on points,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54facing a play-off against the Soviet Union
0:37:54 > 0:37:55for a place in the quarterfinals.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07The World Cup has taken Malmo by storm -
0:38:07 > 0:38:10flags fly above civic buildings and main streets
0:38:10 > 0:38:13and the shops are filled with World Cup souvenirs
0:38:13 > 0:38:15on the day which can see West Germany
0:38:15 > 0:38:18take a further, decisive step in defence of their crown.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Northern Ireland, appearing in the finals for the first time,
0:38:33 > 0:38:34stand in their way.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39King Gustav gives the match the royal seal of approval.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50And Northern Ireland set play under way.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59The Irish have a small squad
0:38:59 > 0:39:01which has been further reduced by injury.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03But as Seeler finds out,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Irish goalkeeper Harry Gregg is in a class of his own.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Not only that,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16but Peter McParland is one of the best outside lefts in the finals.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18He proves the point after 18 minutes
0:39:18 > 0:39:20by shooting Northern Ireland into the lead
0:39:20 > 0:39:23after goalkeeper Herkenrath misjudges a cross.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30The lead lasts just two minutes.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32The Irish defence is caught wide open
0:39:32 > 0:39:35as Rahn chips an equaliser beyond Gregg and into the net.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44But if the Germans think it's all over,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46they're about to be surprised.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49The Irish play with magnificent spirit and courage.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52They have a little luck as Seeler shoots wide,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54but they play their full part
0:39:54 > 0:39:56in a game fit to be set before the king.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05When Ireland attack,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Herkenrath makes up for his first-half blunder
0:40:07 > 0:40:09with this save from McIlroy.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The World Cup holders didn't expect to find it this tough.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40They look to veteran leader Fritz Walter for inspiration.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Somehow, he goes around the defence and centres.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44One shot is blocked, and another.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48And eventually, Gregg's bravery defies the Germans again.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Northern Ireland now take up the pace.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05They force a corner on the right.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Cush takes it and McParland is unmarked
0:41:07 > 0:41:08to put them into the lead.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12The small contingent of Irish fans are ecstatic.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14The crowd sense a sensation -
0:41:14 > 0:41:18and so does the worried German Federation president.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Germany force a corner of their own.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Walter puts the ball into the net,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25but Portuguese referee Campos has spotted a foul on Gregg.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26No goal.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30German manager Herberger rises from the bench in frustration.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36In the end, it takes this terrific shot from Seeler
0:41:36 > 0:41:37to break down the Irish defence.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39The fans cheer in relief.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Most teams would be happy with a draw, but not the Irish.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57They have scented victory once.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Now they press forward again.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Herkenrath punches clear. Szymaniak hooks the ball away.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12At the other end, Walter tantalises the Irish defence.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Rahn is clear on the right,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17but his dangerous centre presents no problems for the brilliant Gregg.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20He looks the best goalkeeper in the finals.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21WHISTLE BLOWS
0:42:21 > 0:42:24At the final whistles, the teams congratulate each other
0:42:24 > 0:42:25on the points shared.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The Germans have finished top of the group.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Czechoslovakia and Northern Ireland must play off.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36The first round formalities are all over,
0:42:36 > 0:42:37but in three of the four groups,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40a play-off is needed between teams level on points
0:42:40 > 0:42:43to decide who completes the quarterfinal line-up.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46The Mexicans will not be there.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47They are saying goodbye to their hosts.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50For them, the World Cup is over.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54With them go Argentina, Austria, Paraguay and Scotland.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05One last wave to Sweden and to their dreams.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Now it's sudden death time for Hungary or Wales
0:43:18 > 0:43:20in the Group 3 play-off in Stockholm.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Left winger Mate Fenyvesi tests out the Welsh defence.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Then Budai on the other wing has time and space
0:43:39 > 0:43:41and Tichy shoots home his cross.
0:43:41 > 0:43:431-0 to Hungary.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Fewer than 3,000 fans see play switch
0:43:49 > 0:43:51from one goalkeeper to another,
0:43:51 > 0:43:52from Grosics to Kelsey.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59And back again, as Ivor Allchurch equalises in the 55th minute.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01The fans who have made the effort to turn out
0:44:01 > 0:44:04are delighted to see the underdogs back in the game.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Budai's pass is cut out. Wales drive forward.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Terry Medwin scores the winner.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Wales, in the finals for the first time,
0:44:24 > 0:44:26have reached the quarterfinals.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Hungary are finished.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36In Malmo, Northern Ireland face Czechoslovakia again.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40They do so without Harry Gregg. Their goalkeeping hero is injured.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Norman Uprichard, only half-fit himself,
0:44:42 > 0:44:44has to step in...
0:44:53 > 0:44:56..and is beaten after 19 minutes by this header from Zikan.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Just before half-time, Ireland hit back.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Cush has three shots blocked,
0:45:08 > 0:45:10but McParland makes no mistake.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Just in time - one minute later comes the half-time whistle.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19WHISTLE BLOWS
0:45:33 > 0:45:36There are no more goals in the second half,
0:45:36 > 0:45:38even though Uprichard further aggravates a knee injury.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41No substitutes are allowed. He has to play on.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47What had happened to Gregg?
0:45:47 > 0:45:50The hero of Manchester United's Munich air crash
0:45:50 > 0:45:52had taken such a battering in the previous three games
0:45:52 > 0:45:55that they could not risk playing him.
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Saves such as these
0:45:56 > 0:45:59had taken the Irish to the brink of the quarterfinals,
0:45:59 > 0:46:02but it cost Gregg plenty in bruises and pain.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Even a goalkeeper as outstanding as Gregg
0:46:04 > 0:46:07cannot defy such an accumulation of injuries to shoulder and shin.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20So Northern Ireland must keep the Czechs at bay,
0:46:20 > 0:46:22with Gregg only a spectator.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36He is not the only famous face in the crowd.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Fritz Walter and some of his German team are there, too.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45Somehow, the Irish survive to take the match into extra time.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55Amazingly, now the Irish find new heart.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57The Czechs begin to wilt under the physical pressure
0:46:57 > 0:46:59of four games in nine days.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04McParland takes advantage to fire home the winner.
0:47:04 > 0:47:05Northern Ireland's heroes salute the fans,
0:47:05 > 0:47:07who give a standing ovation
0:47:07 > 0:47:10to these unlikely but deserving World Cup quarterfinalists.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Even stand-in goalkeeper Uprichard is through the pain barrier now.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25After Wales and Northern Ireland,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28it is England's turn to play off for entry to the quarterfinals.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31They face the Soviet Union in Gothenburg
0:47:31 > 0:47:34and the Soviet goal leads a charmed life.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Twice, Yashin is helpless as England's new right winger,
0:47:44 > 0:47:45Peter Brabrook, hits the post.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54When the Chelsea man does get the ball in the net,
0:47:54 > 0:47:57the goal is disallowed for handball.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Somehow, the Soviets survive
0:48:25 > 0:48:27and start to build their own attacks.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31After 69 minutes, Ilyin's shot ricochets off a post.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33The Soviets and their reserves celebrate.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35England are out.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44The quarterfinal line-up looks like this. All the matches on June 19th.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47With Gothenburg the setting for little Wales
0:48:47 > 0:48:50to take on the might of the exciting Brazilians.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51SAMBA MUSIC
0:49:03 > 0:49:06In the past, Brazil have failed to get the best
0:49:06 > 0:49:09out of their brilliant individuals such as goalkeeper Gilmar.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Now they have added managerial organisation and tactical
0:49:12 > 0:49:16know-how to their talent, it is proving a potent mixture.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Midfield master Didi relaxes with a game of darts.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25So does Pele, but the boy wonder tries a variation on the theme.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28The Brazilians are relaxed but confident.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Nothing is left to chance.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50Americo, the masseur, is kept busy keeping aches and strains at bay.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54Nobody wants to risk missing his chance of making history as Brazil
0:49:54 > 0:49:56bid to become the first nation
0:49:56 > 0:49:58to win the World Cup on the wrong continent.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04The Brazilians even take their own chefs and food with them.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07The right diet is as important as the right players
0:50:07 > 0:50:10and the right tactics.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14The 26,000 crowd turns out at the Ullevi stadium.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Brazil are without the injured Zito and Vava.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Zozimo partners Didi in midfield.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Altafini, the centre forward nicknamed Mazzola after the Italian
0:50:24 > 0:50:28star of the 1940s, partners Pele in the centre of attack.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Wales star John Charles has to sit alongside manager
0:50:31 > 0:50:32Jimmy Murphy on the bench.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36His injury is a big blow for Welsh hopes of an upset.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55Wales attack only occasionally. Medwin cuts inside and shoots.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Gilmar saves.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02At the other end, it is Jack Kelsey against the explosive Garrincha.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Back home in Brazil, the nation is at a standstill
0:51:07 > 0:51:10listening to the commentary from Sweden.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14Excitement is mounting as Brazil hit the bar. A goal is imminent.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Scored cheekily by Pele.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25The Brazilians all follow the Santos star into the net.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26So do the photographers.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Brazil are in the semifinals.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40As a tribute to the crowd in Gothenburg
0:51:40 > 0:51:43they parade the Swedish flag around the ground on a lap of honour.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Sweden, meanwhile, have a challenge of their own
0:51:50 > 0:51:54against the Soviet Union in the Solna stadium in Stockholm.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57The Swedes have summoned up cheerleaders to encourage
0:51:57 > 0:52:00the normally reticent local fans to get behind their team.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08A wall of sound greets the two sides.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Liedholm and Simonyan, two of the world's finest players,
0:52:14 > 0:52:18exchange greetings as captains and Sweden kick-off.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20The Soviet team looked tired.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23It is the after-effects of their extra match against England.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27They are also without their injured captain and left half Igor Netto.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Fortunately, Yashin is there
0:52:29 > 0:52:33but in midfield the Soviets just aren't stringing passes together.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55That suits Sweden who keep up the pressure throughout the first half.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06And force another fine save from Yashin.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11Surprisingly,
0:53:11 > 0:53:14the Soviets are still on level terms for the start of the second half.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16That doesn't last.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Svensson, Sweden's goalkeeper, takes a long goal kick.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Simonsson seizes possession.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30Then it is Hamrin who gets a lucky rebound to open the scoring.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46Now the Soviets must attack. The match becomes scrappy.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Sweden go in search of a second goal to make sure of victory.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Skoglund teases and torments his full-back
0:53:56 > 0:53:58but that second goal won't come.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01With time running out, the Soviets storm back into attack.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18Salnikov's shot is cleared off the goal-line by Gustavsson.
0:54:18 > 0:54:23Sweden immediately race away. They catch the Soviet defence wide open.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Simonsson scores the goal which sends Sweden into the semifinals.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27CHEERING
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Norrkoping welcomes the World Cup with flowers.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37The sunshine setting is ideal for a showdown between the elegance
0:54:37 > 0:54:40of France and the enthusiasm of Northern Ireland.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57Norrkoping is a vibrant city which builds
0:54:57 > 0:55:01the passions of today on the foundations of a great history.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04It is to this port that fans from all over the world are turning
0:55:04 > 0:55:07as the World Cup edges closer to its climax.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11From Norrkoping, Sweden exports paper to the world.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14And from that paper come the newspapers which keep up
0:55:14 > 0:55:18the steady flow of information about this greatest of soccer contests.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21The games, the goals and the glory.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23In the shop windows,
0:55:23 > 0:55:27sporting achievements stand side-by-side with national history.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32The Irish prepare for the biggest game of their lives.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35They also know that just reaching the quarterfinals
0:55:35 > 0:55:37has been a great achievement
0:55:37 > 0:55:39for one of Europe's smallest soccer strongholds.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49Skipper Danny Blanchflower sets the example in training for his men.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52Blanchflower plays for Tottenham Hotspur.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Indeed, almost the entire Irish squad
0:55:54 > 0:55:57is drawn from the ranks of the English Football League.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00Here come the French, led by their top scorer Fontaine.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07The referee is a Spaniard, Gardeazabal.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10France win the toss, Northern Ireland kick-off.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29France, playing from right to left, are quickly into their stride.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Vincent breaks through on the left
0:56:31 > 0:56:33but fit-again Harry Gregg is equal to the challenge.
0:56:47 > 0:56:51The Irish goal leads a charmed life but only until the 43rd minute
0:56:51 > 0:56:55when France take the lead through the right winger Wisnieski.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09The effort of going to extra time in the play-off
0:57:09 > 0:57:13against Czechoslovakia has taken its toll on Irish legs.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31As the rain starts to fall, so Kopa engineers a gap
0:57:31 > 0:57:34and Fontaine scores the first of his two goals in the match.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37It looks like the end for Northern Ireland.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Kopa is outstanding
0:57:41 > 0:57:44as he works ceaselessly to open up the Irish defence.
0:58:10 > 0:58:15Again Kopa is the creator as Piantoni makes it 4-0.
0:58:15 > 0:58:19France too are in the semifinals. The brave Irish are beaten at last.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29Yugoslavia, semifinalists in the first finals in 1930,
0:58:29 > 0:58:31want to be there again.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33Holders West Germany aim to stop them
0:58:33 > 0:58:35in the last quarterfinal in Malmo.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48With Helmut Rahn in his cup-winning form of 1954,
0:58:48 > 0:58:52West Germany look much sharper than in the previous outings.
0:58:52 > 0:58:56Repeatedly, they threaten the Yugoslav's new goalkeeper Krivokuca.
0:59:04 > 0:59:06In all of this,
0:59:06 > 0:59:09there isn't a lot for Herkenrath to do in the German goal.
0:59:13 > 0:59:16After 12 minutes, the only goal.
0:59:16 > 0:59:17Rahn escapes on the right
0:59:17 > 0:59:21and finds an impossible gap between Krivokuca and the near post.
0:59:21 > 0:59:231-0 to West Germany.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25CHEERING
0:59:28 > 0:59:30The Yugoslavs can't believe it.
0:59:35 > 0:59:38No-one will believe Fritz Walter is now 38
0:59:38 > 0:59:40as he searches for another goal.
0:59:49 > 0:59:51Herberger checks his watch.
0:59:51 > 0:59:55Yugoslavia force a corner but they can't force a way through.
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Uwe Seeler brings West Germany back onto the attack.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16It's all good news going back to Hamburg, Munich,
1:00:16 > 1:00:18Cologne, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt.
1:00:30 > 1:00:33Yugoslavia have no more answers in the second half
1:00:33 > 1:00:36despite the probings of their midfield general Vujadin Boskov
1:00:36 > 1:00:38and outside left Rajkov.
1:00:54 > 1:00:57Germany respond. Schafer hits the post.
1:00:59 > 1:01:01Rahn hits the bar.
1:01:07 > 1:01:10Seeler glances a header narrowly wide.
1:01:13 > 1:01:15WHISTLE BLOWS
1:01:19 > 1:01:22West Germany complete the semifinal line-up.
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Walter accepts the congratulations.
1:01:24 > 1:01:28His men celebrate one further step down the road which Walter hopes
1:01:28 > 1:01:30will lead them to Stockholm.
1:01:51 > 1:01:54This is the calm before the storm in Sweden's capital.
1:01:54 > 1:01:58In the parks and the restaurants and cafes all the talk is of football
1:01:58 > 1:02:03and, of course, most of all in the offices of the Swedish Federation.
1:02:07 > 1:02:10Playing host to the World Cup is a vast undertaking.
1:02:10 > 1:02:13Organising the football is just one facet of the work.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16There are hotels to book, travel arrangements to make,
1:02:16 > 1:02:19tickets to organise, the press to please.
1:02:19 > 1:02:21The men in charge work a 20 hour day.
1:02:21 > 1:02:22They are always on call,
1:02:22 > 1:02:26responsible for matches in every venue throughout the country.
1:02:41 > 1:02:44At last, all that work is nearing its conclusion.
1:02:44 > 1:02:46This is the Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg.
1:02:46 > 1:02:49Hosts Sweden or holders West Germany will end the day
1:02:49 > 1:02:52celebrating their place in the final or preparing
1:02:52 > 1:02:56sadly for a walk-on part in the third-place play-off.
1:02:56 > 1:02:59The stadium fills up hours before the kick-off.
1:02:59 > 1:03:03The cheerleaders are there again to whip the Swedish fans into a frenzy.
1:03:03 > 1:03:06For once, the travelling Germans are outnumbered.
1:03:06 > 1:03:08Sweden field the team who beat the Soviets.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11West Germany bring in Cieslarczyk in attack for Schmidt.
1:03:16 > 1:03:20Referee is the Hungarian opera director Istvan Zsolt.
1:03:43 > 1:03:46Matching two powerful northern European sides means fast,
1:03:46 > 1:03:48direct, aggressive football.
1:03:55 > 1:03:58Herkenrath dives to save from Liedholm
1:03:58 > 1:04:01and then dives at Simonsson's feet to grab the ball a second time.
1:04:10 > 1:04:12At the other end, Germany claim a penalty
1:04:12 > 1:04:15when Rahn tumbles in the penalty box.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17The referee Zsolt waves play on.
1:04:26 > 1:04:29But Rahn takes his revenge as Seeler provides the cross for Schafer
1:04:29 > 1:04:32to convert for the opening goal.
1:04:43 > 1:04:47Germany press forward again with Walter in the thick of the action.
1:04:47 > 1:04:50He opens up the way to goal but Seeler shoots over the bar.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01It's a costly miss.
1:05:01 > 1:05:05Sweden hit back and Skoglund drives the equaliser inside the far post.
1:05:05 > 1:05:09The cheers might almost be heard back in Stockholm.
1:05:14 > 1:05:18The second half will prove decisive, fatally so for West Germany.
1:05:18 > 1:05:21Right-winger Hamrin is a thorn in their side.
1:05:29 > 1:05:30Tempers start to flare.
1:05:44 > 1:05:49In the 58th minute, Hamrin is badly fouled by left back Erich Juskowiak.
1:05:49 > 1:05:52The two men scuffle on the ground and Juskowiak is sent off.
1:06:03 > 1:06:07The German bench is horrified. Zsolt has no doubt.
1:06:16 > 1:06:20Juskowiak takes West Germany's chance of retaining the World Cup with him.
1:06:22 > 1:06:23Although reduced to 10 men,
1:06:23 > 1:06:27the Germans still keep Swedish goalkeeper Svensson busy.
1:06:27 > 1:06:29But when Walter has to be carried off
1:06:29 > 1:06:32after a crunching tackle by Parling, the writing is on the wall.
1:06:41 > 1:06:43Herberger and assistant Helmut Schon
1:06:43 > 1:06:45shout instructions from the touchline
1:06:45 > 1:06:50but the Swedes are unstoppable. Skoglund leads the attack.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53Veteran Gunnar Gren strikes his shot with such power
1:06:53 > 1:06:55that it rebounds from the stanchion inside the goal.
1:07:08 > 1:07:11A minute from the end, Hamrin scores a cheeky third goal
1:07:11 > 1:07:12for the hosts Sweden.
1:07:12 > 1:07:16For the first time, and in front of their own delirious fans,
1:07:16 > 1:07:18they've reached the World Cup final.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20Germany's reign is over.
1:07:28 > 1:07:30For the first time in these finals,
1:07:30 > 1:07:33concern builds up about the players' reaction under pressure.
1:07:33 > 1:07:34The incident between Hamrin
1:07:34 > 1:07:37and Juskowiak will just add to the intensity of the debate.
1:07:39 > 1:07:43These finals have borne witness to some less savoury moments.
1:07:58 > 1:08:00An appeal is launched for fair play as France
1:08:00 > 1:08:05and Brazil emerge from the shadows of the Solna stadium in Stockholm.
1:08:05 > 1:08:08These are the two best footballing teams in the finals.
1:08:08 > 1:08:10Brazil are now World Cup favourites.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41French top scorer Fontaine
1:08:41 > 1:08:44finds Nilton Santos a wily marker at one end.
1:08:49 > 1:08:51As Vava shoots Brazil ahead at the other.
1:09:05 > 1:09:07France refuse to buckle under the pressure.
1:09:07 > 1:09:10The partnership of Kopa and Fontaine conjures up an equaliser.
1:09:18 > 1:09:22The Swedish fans are simultaneously listening to radio commentary
1:09:22 > 1:09:25on the other semifinal when Garrincha provides Didi
1:09:25 > 1:09:27with the chance to shoot Brazil back into the lead.
1:09:41 > 1:09:45Brazil have the advantage, not only in goals but in men.
1:09:45 > 1:09:48French centre back Robert Jonquet was reduced to the status
1:09:48 > 1:09:51of a limping passenger shortly before Didi's goal.
1:09:53 > 1:09:56The French are thus disorganised at the back
1:09:56 > 1:09:58and present Pele with a simple third goal.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12It's exhibition stuff now from Brazil
1:10:12 > 1:10:15as Garrincha slices deep into French territory.
1:10:15 > 1:10:19Pele juggles with the ball and Vava slams home number four.
1:10:24 > 1:10:28Garrincha again twisting the French defence this way and that.
1:10:28 > 1:10:32Didi pulls down his cross and Pele collects goal number five.
1:10:40 > 1:10:43Kopa, surely Europe's top footballer now,
1:10:43 > 1:10:48refuses to concede defeat and the Reims inside forward Roger Piantoni
1:10:48 > 1:10:50scores a second consolation goal
1:10:50 > 1:10:53to give the French fans something to shout about.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55But the day belongs to Brazil.
1:10:58 > 1:10:59Four days later,
1:10:59 > 1:11:02the World Cup caravan finds itself back in Gothenburg
1:11:02 > 1:11:06where Kopa and his team-mates enchant the local children.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Now it's back to the serious business of playing football
1:11:17 > 1:11:20and playing deposed World Cup holders West Germany
1:11:20 > 1:11:22in the third-place match.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25France without the injured Jonquet and Piantoni.
1:11:25 > 1:11:29West Germany make six changes and give a game to Kwiatkowski,
1:11:29 > 1:11:31their reserve goalkeeper.
1:11:31 > 1:11:34By the end, he may have wished manager Herberger hadn't bothered.
1:11:37 > 1:11:41Almost immediately, Kelbassa gets the ball into the French net.
1:11:41 > 1:11:45The Argentinian referee Juan Brozzi has spotted a foul.
1:11:45 > 1:11:47The goal doesn't count.
1:11:47 > 1:11:49This one does at the other end though.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52The scorer is the inevitable Fontaine.
1:12:05 > 1:12:08The Germans take only two minutes to recover.
1:12:08 > 1:12:10Cieslarczyk wiggles through to shoot past Abbes
1:12:10 > 1:12:12and this time the goal stands.
1:12:18 > 1:12:23France storm back. Newcomer Yvon Douis is brought down by Erhardt.
1:12:23 > 1:12:24Penalty.
1:12:30 > 1:12:31Kwiatkowski dives the right way
1:12:31 > 1:12:34but Kopa's penalty kick is just beyond his reach.
1:12:39 > 1:12:42Kopa creates problems even with his corners.
1:12:42 > 1:12:44Kwiatkowski can't hold the ball.
1:12:44 > 1:12:46The full-back shoots.
1:12:46 > 1:12:50The German defence is at sixes and sevens and Fontaine shoots home.
1:12:51 > 1:12:54France thus hold a 3-1 half-time lead
1:12:54 > 1:12:57courtesy of a couple of sharp saves from Abbes.
1:13:15 > 1:13:19The Germans start the second half with some neat inter-passing.
1:13:19 > 1:13:22But as soon as the move breaks down, France are off again.
1:13:23 > 1:13:27This time it is Douis who gets his name on the scoresheet.
1:13:31 > 1:13:34Rahn, playing in what surely must be his last World Cup,
1:13:34 > 1:13:38scores another of those typical goals from impossible angles.
1:13:51 > 1:13:53But as the Germans throw men forward,
1:13:53 > 1:13:55they are exposed at the back.
1:14:02 > 1:14:04Fontaine scores again for France.
1:14:09 > 1:14:12And Schafer pulls one more back for West Germany.
1:14:18 > 1:14:20Even then, it is not all over.
1:14:20 > 1:14:24Fontaine runs through all alone to make it 6-3 to France.
1:14:24 > 1:14:26It's Fontaine's fourth goal of the match
1:14:26 > 1:14:28and his 13th goal of the finals.
1:14:28 > 1:14:31A record which surely may never be beaten.
1:14:31 > 1:14:35France claim the honour of third place in the 1958 World Cup.
1:14:37 > 1:14:39But that, of course, was a comparative sideshow.
1:14:39 > 1:14:42The one match which has dominated football talk
1:14:42 > 1:14:46everywhere in the world and above all in Sweden is the one which
1:14:46 > 1:14:50will be staged here in Stockholm in the Solna stadium on June 29th.
1:14:50 > 1:14:53It is the climax of four years of football.
1:14:53 > 1:14:56It is the 1958 World Cup final.
1:15:09 > 1:15:13There are souvenirs with the petrol, souvenirs for the children,
1:15:13 > 1:15:17flags and posters in the shops and hotels.
1:15:17 > 1:15:20There are even special World Cup postage stamps,
1:15:20 > 1:15:22magazines...
1:15:25 > 1:15:27..matches.
1:15:34 > 1:15:38Swedish star Gunnar Gren jumps on the bandwagon with the timely launch
1:15:38 > 1:15:41of his autobiography. It is entitled Professor Of Football.
1:15:41 > 1:15:43All Sweden waits to see
1:15:43 > 1:15:45if he has the magic formula to cope with Brazil.
1:15:56 > 1:16:00His team-mates relax before the final in a variety of ways.
1:16:00 > 1:16:03Croquet on the hotel lawn is one favourite,
1:16:03 > 1:16:06as long as it is played with a football, of course.
1:16:06 > 1:16:09Then there is a boat trip for flying wingers Hamrin and Skoglund
1:16:09 > 1:16:10and their team-mates.
1:16:10 > 1:16:12They sent a message promising their English manager
1:16:12 > 1:16:15George Raynor that they will be back by Sunday.
1:16:29 > 1:16:32In the stadium itself, the camera crews are already taking up
1:16:32 > 1:16:35their positions to send pictures around the world.
1:16:35 > 1:16:36Cars, taxis, special buses,
1:16:36 > 1:16:40even bicycles flood in from all over Sweden.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42This is the game everyone wants to see,
1:16:42 > 1:16:45the most important match in the nation's history.
1:16:53 > 1:16:55One hour to the match
1:16:55 > 1:16:59and the Swedish team arrive looking calm and relaxed and confident.
1:17:19 > 1:17:22The cheerleaders are, this time, escorted away
1:17:22 > 1:17:24but the Stockholm fans need little encouragement
1:17:24 > 1:17:27as the two teams take the field despite the threat of rain.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32Liedholm leads out Sweden, Bellini leads out Brazil.
1:17:38 > 1:17:41The teams sensibly keep their muscles active
1:17:41 > 1:17:42during the lengthy formalities.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53Referee is Frenchman Marcel Guigue.
1:17:57 > 1:17:59He blows one short sharp blast of his whistle
1:17:59 > 1:18:02and the World Cup final is under way.
1:18:02 > 1:18:06Sweden have the hosts built-in advantage of the crowd behind them
1:18:06 > 1:18:08but Brazil are the neutral's favourites.
1:18:08 > 1:18:12Sweden are unchanged for the second successive match, Brazil have
1:18:12 > 1:18:15surprisingly left out right back De Sordi
1:18:15 > 1:18:18in favour of the 1954 veteran Djalma Santos.
1:18:18 > 1:18:21A change specifically aimed at reducing the threat
1:18:21 > 1:18:23posed by Swedish left-winger Skoglund.
1:18:27 > 1:18:30Sweden seize control of the early minutes,
1:18:30 > 1:18:33looking for a potentially decisive early goal.
1:18:33 > 1:18:35They think this may upset the temperament
1:18:35 > 1:18:36of the highly strung South Americans.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43Didi cleverly keeps possession for Brazil.
1:18:44 > 1:18:49So does Pele, the youngest player ever seen in a World Cup final.
1:18:49 > 1:18:52Pele has the confidence and command of a veteran.
1:18:58 > 1:19:00But it is a real veteran, Sweden's Liedholm,
1:19:00 > 1:19:03who achieves the breakthrough with this opening goal.
1:19:03 > 1:19:05CHEERING
1:19:10 > 1:19:11Will Brazil crack?
1:19:11 > 1:19:13It doesn't look like it as Didi feeds Garrincha
1:19:13 > 1:19:16and he blasts his shot into the side netting.
1:19:17 > 1:19:20Sweden's fans have a right to be worried.
1:19:25 > 1:19:26Garrincha again.
1:19:26 > 1:19:28Past his man once more, crosses
1:19:28 > 1:19:32and Vava shoots the equaliser past Svensson from point-blank range.
1:19:33 > 1:19:37Just watch the accelerations of this man Garrincha as he leaves
1:19:37 > 1:19:39the defence for dead and sets up the chance.
1:19:46 > 1:19:48Garrincha is a sheer force of nature.
1:19:48 > 1:19:50Only a post denies him a goal of his own.
1:19:56 > 1:20:01So he turns creator. Vava is again in place to stab the ball home.
1:20:01 > 1:20:05Brazil, far from being broken, are 2-1 ahead at half-time.
1:20:19 > 1:20:22The second-half presents Sweden with an uphill task.
1:20:27 > 1:20:30Does Professor Gren have the formula for a revival?
1:20:30 > 1:20:31He finds Simonsson
1:20:31 > 1:20:34but the centre forward has no space in which to work.
1:20:46 > 1:20:48Brazil start to turn on the tricks.
1:20:56 > 1:20:58Djalma Santos finds Garrincha.
1:21:03 > 1:21:05His cross is half cleared.
1:21:07 > 1:21:13Zagallo pops the ball back in and Pele's teenage genius does the rest.
1:21:13 > 1:21:15CHEERING
1:21:17 > 1:21:21Even the Swedes can't help but appreciate being beaten like this.
1:21:25 > 1:21:28Garrincha forces Svensson to concede a corner.
1:21:30 > 1:21:33Zagallo takes it. Sweden fail to clear
1:21:33 > 1:21:36so Zagallo comes back into the frame to score Brazil's fourth.
1:21:51 > 1:21:53Sweden keep trying to play.
1:21:53 > 1:21:57Bergmark, their fine right back, leads this attack.
1:22:02 > 1:22:04Skoglund, a shadow of himself today,
1:22:04 > 1:22:07finds a rare few inches of space and Simonsson shoots home.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09Sweden cheer.
1:22:09 > 1:22:12But Brazil still lead 4-2.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15Garrincha hasn't finished yet.
1:22:21 > 1:22:25This incident looks worth a penalty but Sweden escape.
1:22:31 > 1:22:32Vava takes a breather
1:22:32 > 1:22:35and a shower just to give masseur Americo something to do.
1:22:40 > 1:22:43Manager Feola calls for his men to give him another goal.
1:22:43 > 1:22:45Instantly they oblige.
1:22:45 > 1:22:48Zagallo from outside left provides the cross
1:22:48 > 1:22:50and Pele heads beyond poor Svensson.
1:22:58 > 1:23:01The new world champions have won 5-2.
1:23:01 > 1:23:04Sweden know they have been beaten not only by a better team
1:23:04 > 1:23:08but by one of the great teams of football history.
1:23:11 > 1:23:15For two-goal Pele, the emotion of the moment is just too much.
1:23:15 > 1:23:17No doubt we'll see him again.
1:23:26 > 1:23:28As the teams line up for the anthems,
1:23:28 > 1:23:30even veteran keeper Gilmar is overcome.
1:23:34 > 1:23:37All smiles now as Brazil salute the Swedish crowd.
1:23:49 > 1:23:53And the Swedish king salutes the new kings of world soccer.
1:23:58 > 1:24:01Skipper Belini receives the Jules Rimet Trophy.
1:24:01 > 1:24:04Brazil are on top of the world.
