Sweden vs. West germany, FIFA World Cup 1958

I found this on some super-8 i bought on a flea market and had digitalized. Sweden took a promising win in this semi final with 3 to 1, but failed to beat Brazil in the final the following day.

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

[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.

Hamrin, I bow down to you.

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

[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.

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

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

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.

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