For all the stylish football they displayed, Brazil made critical errors at both sides of the pitch and England capitalised in ruthless fashion...
When the Brazil vs England semifinal of the FIFA U17 World Cup was shifted to Kolkata from Guwahati due to poor playing conditions, the excitement over the marquee clash had gone up by several notches in the City of Joy.
The fans in the city were awash with excitement over the prospect of watching the flashy Brazilian team again, having witnessed their sensational 'come-from-behind' win over Germany in the quarter-finals earlier.
The tickets for the game were sold like hot cakes on a wintry evening and touts were reportedly selling tickets at 15-20 times the actual rate.
