Quick quiz [don't google it]

 

 

 

Guess what is Zico's first name?

[Guest Cally77]

Zico was my favourite player as kid. If you see that Brazil-Italy game again just watch his control and pass to Socrates for the goal.

I think you'll find it's Artur (not Arthur, mind).

 

That '82 Brazil team played the best football I've ever seen, and, disturbingly, I can still name the whole side. In effect they played with 10 men, as Serginho made Heskey look like Dalglish.

 

I think that's when I realised that a 2-2-6 formation is not necessarily a guarantee of success.

If Careca would of been fit, Brazil would of won in 82.

2 of the best ever games in that tournament,

Brazil v Italy

France v West Germany

Was Serginho the centre forward who just stood there looking scared while the game went on around him? Some scandal about him being related to someone in the Brazilian FA or maybe that was just the joke at the time.

 

He was funny.

Just about the only thing he did. And Socrates a nice finish and a lovely contrl with his heel. The rest passes going astray, left and right. And Italy's passing was abysmal for most of the game. When I saw the game at the time I though they were brilliant. Now compared with good passing teams of today I think they are average.
