Sweden vs. West germany, FIFA World Cup 1958

[Koehnson]

Great work! Who are the people who gave this thumbs down? I am astounded.

Trivia: The director Fassbinder in Lola has audio of this game playing in the background in an important scene.

[seanreillyireland]

@manthevan Great points! Imagine how strong they'd have been in '50 or '54!

[grant20100]

The days when Swedes were Swedish and Germans were German...

[seanreillyireland]

@grant20100 True.

[GordonMorrice]

Amazing, unique footage, The Swedish Football Association would probably pay you for a duplicate of the 8mm film.

[Lasermannen]

Vilket fantastiskt ögonblick i historien.

[Stensture]

How rude to put the final the day after the semi!

[rendlaW]

...and, the Swedish team had to travel

470km, or 292 miles, while Brazil didn't have to move an inch. Either way, I don't think Sweden would have a chance in the final.

[Stensture]

Probably not.

[chavmanx]

they didn't the final was played 4 days after, both semi's were played simultaneously. It's a fact

[ocsiero]

In colour! How mazing! It looks so different, I mean, one used to think footballers really played in black and white back then...

[scholion]

Hamrin, I bow down to you.

[Goren37saik]

Best Swedish team ever....

[GordonMorrice]

The 1974 team was excellent, too, I feel. They gave West Germany a run for their money. Roland Sandberg and Ralf Edström were very good up front and scored some brilliant goals and Ronnie Hellström was one of the best goalies of the 1970s.

[raffabeni]

zlatan suck my ......

[Bjooorneee]

AIKs Kurre Hamrin gör Sveriges snyggaste mål någonsin, försök att göra om det zlatan, :)

[deco982]

Amazing Video!!!!!!!!!

[4eyesfever]

type "conspiracy 58" in google search and you will find facts that WC 1958 was not played in Swedish and in fact it is played in US stage.

[rasmusjp]

Do shut your face...

[hampe7]

wtf??!?

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

my gradfather was a journalist and were on all games in that tournament except two or three games. so i don´t think so

[luizpacotinho]

Absolutely fantastic! It is the first color film I have ever knew about that great World Cup. Thank you for posting it. I am a brazillian soccer fan, who was six years old at that time. This looks like being there; its magic! I wish there is something like this about the final game, Brazil 5-2 Sweden.

[chicken1133]

wtf! color TV in 1958!?! AMAZING!

[leenyburghers]

I found this by chance and really enjoyed watching it this is unique and amazing footage and is exactly why youtube was set up I.m sure this has commercial value and yet you have chosen to give it away for the enjoyment of other people. Thank you I do think that this is proof that there are truly altruistic and decent people in this world. Thank you for reafirming my belief in human nature.

Sweden 3 - 1 Germany

The Sweds managed to knock out the defending Champions during the semi-final 1958 WORLD CUP.

Goals:

Skoglund 32'

Gren 81'

Hamrin 88'

**This is amazing historic footage as good as treasure.

[MVGplusplus]

During the 40's and 50's was sweden one of the best football nations. Like Hungary, Sweden won the olympics in 1948 and played in the final 1958 so you could say that Sweden had a golden era in those days!

[scholion]

Feels like actually being there. I'm amazed to find this material here on the Internet.

Apparently, Sweden was one h*ll of a country even before I was born into the country!

[lulachner]

Incredible!

Fantastic..

[henningwehn]

Absolutely stunning footage!

[Monzie77]

fantastic clip! and...a fantastic game. Who could have thought that Sweden would play the final.

[svenskmotherfucker]

Well, a lot of people did... Since Sweden was the second best team in the world, after Brazil, at the time. it was a fantastic team and the forward-trio called Gre-No-Li could unlock any defense in the world. Who'd thought someone didn't know about that...

[Monzie77]

Well, I AM Swedish and I do know about it so spare me the sarcasm mate... :-)

[svenskmotherfucker]

varför äsger du en så krokad grej då?

[Monzie77]

Krokad? Antar att du menar korkad? Det var väl solklart att Sverige var under dogs till att gå till VM final. Det gör ju hela grejen ännu bättre!

[denderton]

yeah, i see you have some footage from 1958 gregoriak. Color can't be that common.

[Gregoriak]

This is really amazing stuff.

[denderton]

this is most likely amateur stuff. there's a few seconds of vacation footage from the Swedish country side on the same roll of film.

[StefanAhman]

dude, it was recorded 1958...

[bradgard]

schyst!

[WockesZero]

hm wonder who filmed it, doesn't look like a pro tho...
