	Brazil in the 1958 World Cup - Sweden
		Nilton Santos, one of the Brazilians in the world all-time team, was known as the Football Encyclopedia, for he seemed to know everything about it.
		Brazil won by 3 x 0, goals by Mazola (2) and Nilton Santos; the match was tight, with Brazil scoring the third goal only at the last minute.
		Nilton Santos said that Joel was good, but Brazil needed someone to surprise the Soviets and other strong European defenders; an unpredictable player like Garrincha would do it perfectly.

		The match was hosted at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, watched by 200,000 people, and Brazil only needed a draw to win, but lost the match 2-1 after being 1-0 up; this match has since been known in South America as "Maracanazo".
		The Brazilians had been worried about their match with the USSR who had exceptional fitness and were one of the favourites to win the tournament; their strategy was to take risks at the beginning of the match to try and score an early goal.
		Before the match, the leaders of the team, Bellini, Nilton Santos, and Didi, spoke to coach Feola and persuaded him to make three substitutions which were crucial for Brazil to defeat the Soviets and win the Cup: Zito, Garrincha, and Pelé would start playing against the USSR.
