Game

Brazil controlled this match from start to finish, as the team we have admired so many times before did not turn up. Sweden looked disorganized and their long balls in the second half played into the Brazilian's game. Brazil did not allow them to develop a rhythm and only occasionally were they a serious threat to Brazil.
