BRAZIL V SWEDEN |
|
Brazil have developed a nice habit of playing a number of their international friendlies at Arsenals fabulous Emirates Stadium. This time, it was Sweden who were the visitors to Ashburton Grove, and Alison and Scott McCarthy decided to take advantage of the Easter break from uni to attend this feast of football flair |
