		  Friday, 30 May 1958 - The Russian 
		  Committee have selected their 22 players to represent them during the 
		  1958 World Cup Finals in Sweden. The surprise exclusion is Eduard 
		  Streltsov, who has also been suspended, and Mikhail Ogonkov, the only 
		  other member of the team that faced England two weeks ago not to make 
		  the final party.
  
		  Sunday, 1 June 1958 - The Russian 
		  party arrive in Sweden.
  Friday, 6 
		  June 1958 - Ignor Netto, honored Master of Soviet Sport, 
		  captain of the USSR team, and probably the country's greatest 
		  footballer, missed training today and is unlikely to face England on 
		  Sunday. He is still suffering with the injury that he picked up the 
		  last time the two countries met on 18 May. 
		   Sunday, 8 June 
		  1958 - England 2 USSR 2 - 
		  
		  
		  "England 
		  drew with the Soviet Union after trailing 0-1 at halftime and being 
		  two goals down after 55 minutes. It was a hectic contest in which the 
		  Russians were repeatedly penalised for rough lay. England equalised 
		  with only six minutes to go, from the penalty spot." 
		   Wednesday, 11 June 1958 - USSR 2 
		  Austria 0 - The Ivanov's score Russia's goals to put them top 
		  of the Pool 4 table alongside Brazil. Lev Yashin saved a 57th minute 
		  Austrian penalty.
  
		  Sunday, 15 June 1958 - Brazil 2 USSR 0 
		  - Vavá's two goals ensure Brazil qualify for the next stage of 
		  the World Cup, whereas Russia, who have an identical record with 
		  England, must face-off again on Tuesday night.
