O Colapso: Brazil at the 1966 World Cup
Having won the World Cup in 1958 and 1962, Brazil were favourites to complete the hat-trick, by winning the 1966 World Cup in England. Instead, they crashed out at the group stage, a humiliating comedown for a team that was starting to think of the Jules Rimet Trophy as its personal property. From haphazard preparations to Pelé’s rough treatment, Joao Havelange’s hubris to bizarre team selections, I have a look at what went wrong for the back-to-back World Champions.
