OK, this one is a real challenge. This is the lower division team photo from 1981 for a team whose greatest claim to fame is having been the Brazil national team’s first ever opposition.
Team X made their historic tour of South America in 1914, during which time they played 8 matches against teams in Argentina and Brazil. As I said, the Brazil national football team is believed to have played its first ever game against Team X on 27th July, at the Laranjeiras stadium in Rio de Janeiro, home of Fluminense.
The result of the match remains disputed, with some sources claiming Team X lost 2-0, while others reckon it ended a 3-3 draw. That was the last match of the tour, which yielded 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats for the mighty Team X. The only other loss was in a match that kicked off a mere 12 hours after the players got off the boat.
To end the agony, merely scroll down to the bottom of the page to find out who this team is.
