He was one of the best football players of the brazilian national team along with zico that didn't win the world championship,but he will be remembered,rest in peace,you did great
To be fair, the defenders were actually pretty good, Edinho who would later play incridibly well at Udinese was in the bench then, but they were the only 2 players in the team who even tried defending lol, it kinda made it hard on them :P
Just look at Thiago Silva and Lucio and copa America for example, it was a little similar, they looked bad because everything was getting through Alvez and Andre santos, overexposing them.
Oh yeah, in case you are counting Junior and Leandro as "defenders", well, let's just say that both of them had the technique to make Kaka look like John Terry.
As an Italian friend once said to me, "Only Brazil to play these players in Defense".
Weirdly enough, they were not bad as defenders, Leandro actually finished his career as a top class center-back after some injuries, but in this particular WC they, as well as Falcao and Cerezo just didn't feel like defending I guess.
By far the best Brazilian team to have not won the World Cup. Zico, Socrates, Falcao, and Eder were the perfect "square". Paolo Rossi and the Italian squad were devouring everyone though.
Its been 28 Years since this side graced the World Cup, and we are all still amazed AND STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS SIDE! They may have been better since or in the past. But as a side I have never since a side play like this one. Only 1970's side from Brazil can match it for sheer beauty.
You ask anyone around the world about this side. From Russia to Australia and from Greenland to Africa. The whole world that watched in 1982 witnessed one the best sides to ever grace a World cup. They were that good.
The interplay between Eder and Junior at times was so so good. And the team up between Socrates, Falco and Zico at times was magical. In modern times everyone is raving about the modern spanish side. But I will be honest you they really don't come close.
Out of the 3 that you mentioned only Pele is better. Socrates was better then Tostao in my opinion and I think that Jairzinho was a diiferent player to Falaco - but tat does not mean he was better. But Jairzinho in my opinion was NOT better then EDER! No he was some thing else.
But then again you have the original Ronaldo *BRAZIL) who is another player who is just as juat as good as MARADONA, and in my opinion he is another player who was better then MARADONNA.
Remember when they played Argentina in this same tournament they faced the World greatest player - Maradonna. Such was brazil brillance at keeping the ball amoungest themselves Maradonna went for long periods of not getting hold of the ball. I honestly believe that we all witnessed the best team ever to play at World cup in that match alone. Both sides were jammed packed with truley World class players. I still rate ZICO as high as Maradonna & I rate Socrates as high Zindane! Great team
The Brazil 1982 TEAM caputered the hearts of the footballing world. Even today when any of them come to England they are always given a warm welcome. I honestly believe that if the Brazilian Striker called Careca was not injured. Brazil would have won the world cup. Can you imagine in a side that already boasted Zico, Socrates, Falco, Eder and Junior. The only reason why the Brazil side of 1970 is rated as good as this SIDE is because they contained the great PELE!
It was a combination of a bad defence, bad goalkeeper and lack of a good striker that cost them in this world cup. To be fair, the 1998 Brazil team were fun to watch.
Rossi was gifted those goals by poor defending.Brazil1982 were the artists of football let down by poor defending.Rossi finished clinically but it was the Brazillian defence who created his goals.Most international strikers of that time would have scored after such gifts.
I would rank Brazil82 above Hungrary54 and Holland74.They were simply irresistable.Out of this world.I felt priveleged to have witnessed such a spectacular group of footballers who all came together at the right time.
Brazil 1982 - The team which played the most beautiful, the most exciting, the most artistical football ever. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT KIND OF FOOTBALL AGAIN.UNMATCHED. But like other great ones, it was not meant to be a WC winner.
Total football perfection for me.1982 Brazil world cup team would have won the tournament but for the defenders trying to play like the rest of the team in the semi against Italy.There will NEVER be another team like them.Pure fantasy football which was reality.
I don't care about the comments about teams today are better and fitter,obviously those stupid ignoramuses haven't seen this wonderful Brazilian team of 1982,football wizardry,magic stuff! Easily the best soccer team of all time,to hell with Spain who pale in comparison to this team,different class,I still watch them on my dvd,it's how soccer should be played.
When the russians are trying to clear the ball, it sounds like the stadium is half-empty, but when the ball hits the back of the net, the sound levels go through the roof. Fantastic.
Yeah, me too. The 82 Brazilians were better than some of the Brazil sides that WON world cups. Just magical stuff, creative imagination and sheer joy in playing and just being alive.
the most amazing thing is that if you put them to play today they would still amaze us,as i saw in many master games in brasil versus other foreign and national teams;and also zico and junior playing beach soccer not so long ago,amazing!.
your right,but if you had to criticise i suppose you could say that there defense was the weakness!! they let in 3 goals against italy, but the brazilian mentality is if you score 3 then we score 4!!!

This is the broadcast I recall watching as a boy..........Brasil were relatively flat and losing 1-0 until that Socrates moment of magic.
Too bad the OP did not let it continue with the replay of the goal....the commentator saying "One to be saluted, One to be remembered".
I salute you Socrates a football and intellectual genius.
You WILL BE REMEMBERED.

I remember watching all their games. Missed some sitters against Italy, unfortunately the secong goal they leaked was handed on a plate.
Zico's shirt ripped, should have fallen down and had a penalty.
Italy's third goal from a corner, was never a corner, goalie had the ball in play.
Bad luck.
Imagine if Careca was not injured.
Will never see this type of magical football again.

82 world cup, especially the skillfull Brasilians who were so unlucky not to have lifted the trophy.
Brazil's samba has long gone after the 86 world cup.
Too negative and boring to watch nowadays. Last decent world cup was the '86.
