Franklin D. Roosevelt did more for American defence than any US president throughout history. He combatted the Great Depression with the curative New Deal and helped end the deadliest war in history. Fundamental to the latter was a telephone call between Roosevelt and British prime minister Winston Churchill \u2013 one enabled by a labyrinth system to impede interceptors. SIGSALY, cutting-edge technology, digitised human voice and, using cryptographic keys, transformed it back via vocoder. One terminal was concealed in the Pentagon and equipped with an extension to the White House. The other was concealed in the basement of Selfridges department store and fitted with an extension to 10 Downing Street. Another crazy phone story helped Franklin Roosevelt do wonders for the Brazilian defence. If FDR \u201clifted himself from a wheelchair to lift the nation from its knees,\u201d his namesake rose from a Maracanazinho bench to lift his nation to the skies. When the FIFA Futsal World Cup\u2122 final, 15 years ago to this day, went to penalties, Franklin Roosevelt Bueres Junior \u2013 his grandmother was a big fan of the American politician \u2013 channelled his inner Gunter Netzer, plucked up some courage and told his cantankerous coach PC de Oliveira, with whom he was at loggerheads, that he was going on. The Osasco native vindicated his decision by emerging as the shootout saviour, saving two spot-kicks to crown Brazil for the first time in 12 years. Franklin shares his mind-blowing story with FIFA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
