Brzilian football was so much more magical in those days.

The more negative style first started in 1990 has left me dissapointed.Sure brazil have still produced awesome players live rivaldo,ronaldo,ronaldinho etc,but in the 60s,70s and 80s they were so beautiful.Its time brazil got back to its roots,playing constant attacking football.They are THE entertainers of the beautiful game.

@jaysea32 yeah...imagine what'd happen to Brazil if nelinho & roberto carlos live in the same era..

@tecnoshack IMO as I posted Roberto Carlos was overrated as a fk taker in comparison to his fellow countrymen.

@rb7magnetico Roberto Carlos...

[rb7magnetico]

@lapwiz I think RC was an overrated fk taker. Imo he below Eder,Zico,Neto,Juninho Pernambucano, Marcelinho Carioca and of course Nelinho

[rb7magnetico]

Brazil has a history of great freekick specialist...Rivelino,Zenon,Ed­er,Zico,Neto...that era is gone, now the top brazilian fk taker is a gk (Ceni). Juninho Pernabucano was probably the best but he was overlooked by bad coaching. Nelinho had the power and accuracy even better than Eder.Brazil has lost its all around magic on the field.
