This is the film of the 1958 World Cup on DVD, which took place in Sweden and was eventually won by a Brazil team which featured a certain 17 year old by the name of Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé. It's a fascinating documentary with footage and highlights from the final stages of the tournament.

The quality of the film is a reflection of the original date of broadcast and recording and is in black & white.

This World Cup saw the qualification of all the United Kingdom's Home Nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with Northern Ireland eliminating Italy for the first (and only) time in the competition's history. The England team weakened by the Munich Air Disaster were eliminated from the group stages in a playoff game against the Soviet Union but again in a play-off Northern Ireland beat Czechoslovakia to join the defending champions West Germany in the quarter-finals and Wales topped Hungary to advance with hosts Sweden. Of the British nations, it was arguably Scotland who had the toughest group, having to face Yugoslavia, Paraguay, and France. France topped Group 2, with Just Fontaine netting six goals. Yugoslavia finished second, while Scotland came in last.

The quarter-finals saw France triumph over Northern Ireland and Pelé score the only goal against Wales who then netted a hat-trick in the semi-final and capped his tournament with two more goals in the final.

This is a superb football documentary which brings all the highlights and excitement from the final stages of the 1958 World Cup on this nostalgic DVD.
