Notes
This tournament commemorated the Brazilian Football
Associations 50th anniversary. It was also called the Brazilian Jubilee Tournament
and heralded as the "Little World Cup." England manager Alf
Ramsey, already immersed in preparing for the World Cup finals still two
years away, used the tournament to measure his side against South American
opposition and received a rude awakening.
The attendance figures for England's
three matches given in Mike Payne, England: The Complete
Post-War Record, pp. 197-98 (1993)--Brazil 110,000, Portugal 70,000 and Argentina
95,000--are much larger than those stated in Ron Hockings & Keir Radnedge, Nations of Europe, vol. 1, p. 194, vol. 2, p. 24 (1993)--Brazil
77,000, Portugal 25,000 and Argentina 15,000.
