Sadly, Mane Garrincha was an alcoholic, to a fault... it affected his health, big time... nonetheless, he's my favorite player of all time. Ode to breakin ankles, sometimes, three defenders at a time. During his time with the Brazil national team, he was #1 assists and the greatest dribbler in the world. He literally had defenders tripping over each other in every game he ever played and he played happy... Popolo Allegre... the joy of the people.

Pele and garrincha, the deadly duo!

bebeto and romario either. never lost.

And when David Luiz played they never won one

1966 Hungary 3-1 Brazil

@@Roman-yv3ye Pelé didn't play in this day

​@@Roman-yv3yePelé was injured against Bulgaria and was still thinking of continuing playing the WC. Garrincha was injured in this match and was absent for the rest of the WC. The next match however...was against Portugal...

Já ouvi falar que essa de 58 foi melhor que ade 70

just stupid kids

Pele and the Brazilian League were never overrated. Those who come up with such quasi loud noise are insane. Pele and Brazil deserved everything they worked for. Couldn't have been overrated. Well deserved.

last team to went to 3 wc finals and won 2

@@zoezoe3301 brazil in 94 won 98 lost in the final and in 2002 won so 3 final 2 win

themostawesomepig - Wrong Hungary played 5 up front. Kocsis, Puskas, and Hideguti with two wingers one called Zoltan Zibor I think, (played for Barcelona), and the other guys name escapes me.

You're right. Bela Gutmann have worked here in Brazil in 1957 training Sao Paulo FC and Vicente Feola, coach in 1958 was your assistent.

Esse 4-2-4 era com a bola, quando esse time não estava com a bola se tornava um 4-4-2 com Zagallo e Garrincha compondo o meio campo.

@@jibsmokestack1 Nope.. Hungary was 4-2-4 Hidegkuti and Bozsik played in the mid.. Czibor,Kocsis,Puskas,Budai upfront.. Budai is the one u forgot.. Hidegkuti always scored coz he was an attacking mid.. Both Czibor & Kocsis have played for Barca

@@martinjohn9954 Completely incorrect!

Football wise though... 🙄

Is this the road to Amarillo?

Kings are for kids

Neymar will be remembered as a petulant, whining, diving little shit who could play a bit of football on his day. Not fit to lace the boots of the others on your list. Cafu a much more worthy addition.

You are right to say Brazil have played better football than anyone else and produced better players. Brazil do need to learn how to defend corners at the world cup. When they fail to do that they get eliminated.

It's not that they don't know how to defend corners. It's that corners are almost the only way opposing teams have a chance of scoring against Brazil, given Brazil's vast superiority in open play. By the way, even though Brazil was the favorite for this world cup they put their odds at less than 25% of winning, so not winning was very expected. Winning a world cup today is much harder than it was in 1958-1962, not only because teams got more competitive but now they study Brazil in depth before they play a match Brazil, unlike in 1958-1962 (because Brazil is already a legend now as well). Also, the tournament format today makes it harder for a favorite to win because of the fact they use extensively rounds of elimination today: a team has to win 4 elimination games straight before winning the cup so it is much more likely than an upset will occur. While in 1970 they used two group stages.

Look at games when Brazil got knocked out at the world cup. Portugal in 1966, Italy in 1982, France in 1998 (twice), Holland in 2010, Germany's 1st goal in the 7-1 game in 2014 and Belgium's 1st goal in 2018. You can't afford to neglect the defence. Brazil conceded goals from corners in all of these games that ended their interest in the world cup.

@@wonjubhoy ohhh shit i didn’t even realize we always concede on corners I hope we defend better in 2022 and end the 20th year bad luck we had only god knows the future

No question at all about it, mate. And there is no need to diminish one or another ;)

well Didi is somewhat like regista, like Pirlo or Xabi, while Zito was more like Ballack (box-to-box), and at front four Zagallo played as box-to-box winger (that's why his nickname was 'Little Ant'), Garrincha as winger-cum-forward, Vava as main target-man and Pele as trequartista..

samirriani Zagallo did win the world cup as qla player and manager but he was manager in 1970 not 1994 and 1998

Many revere Uruguay, the 'Spartans' of World Football.

Kevzete I think he played in first 2 matches before he picked up the injury. But it also shows that even without Pele, Brazil were still a great team. Garrincha was the one who won the cup for Brazil. I guess Garrincha to Pele is like Maradona to Messi. One side is more talented but controversial and the other is squeaky clean.

Kevzete actually pele played twice in 1962 he dint play the third game you idiot.

thekububeach actually after pele retired Brazil won nothing for 24 years . After how many years what has Argentina won after the 1986 world cup

thekububeach Idiot

thekububeah since you don´t know our history i will tell you. Pelé and Garrincha were reserves,our coach had them out, saying Pelé was to young and Garrincha wasn`t feet to play because he had a mental problem besides not a team player.After the first two matches,Didi,Nilton Santos and Bellini the captain called Feola the coach,Brasil would play Russia for a meeting. Well they were the players that own Brazil team on the pitch , right way they said we want Pelé and Garrincha to start the game. Feola said no , he was the coach and so on. Their answer was you are the coach but we own the team and we know better. He gave in and they start and played the entire match. Brazil won neither one score but the assists for the two goals came from them. Next game Brazil play against Wales won by one goal scored by a 17 years old kid. Than came France the favorite to win the WC since thy had Fontaine, consider by Europeans the best player in the world,Brazil beat France 5 to 2 three goals by Pelé. Final again same score Pelé 2 goals and a pass to Vavá. Without Pelé Brazil would not win 1958 and you are so blind, must be Portenho and never 1970. You never saw Brazil games in 1970 , i mean to write such a stupid thought clear you never did. Ustedes argentinos boludos envy us so much , just feel pity for you all

Such superstition!

Nymar can be good player if he concentrate in playing football instead of diving and talking

Because going to a world cup match is very expensive and most of the black people in Brazil are poor

Maradona was a great player. Top-10 of all time and definitely Argentina's best-ever player.
