Anyone else heard this? It seems that the Brazils first ever match was played in Rio, 1914 versus Exeter City. Exeter were asked by the FA to represent English football and traveled to Brazil and played a number of games down there...
There are now rumors abound in Brazil that a re-match is to be scheduled, could be a very nice earner for Exeter that…

Exeter PR man on radio5 about it today.
He is hoping for a reciprocal at Exeter next year, but fears Brazil FA are being "nice" but star players will turn it down and Exeter will play a bunch of unknowns in a deserted stadium.
Shame though, hope they get something out of it.

The British and Irish contribution to football in South America in the late 19th and early 20th century was immense. Even a game with 11 Brazilian unknowns would be worht watching.

Wynnie and Ant are already planning an away supporters game on the Copacabana, should Exeter pull out. Cost of travel will be £10, with a free go on the football card. No drinking will be allowed on the plane for those playin in the match. Bizzy lad should do alright with those Brazilian girls though
