16/06/1986 Brazil v Poland

[@i.marr.6688]

Boniek was a superb player he was one of my favourites ,And Josimar the way he went through two Polish players then hit the ball with a force like a Howitzer and the angle he took the shot ,one of the best goals in the tournament

[@pbd2849]

I was 10 years old that time and I cried after this match. Everybody here in Poland was completely surprised by so high defeat. We knew Brazil had a very good team then and we could lose but not by four goals! Paradoxically, the Poles played their best match in the tournament and lost 0:4. Football can be such a cruel game... To be honest, Brazil had a brilliant squad. Josimar, Socrates, Careca, Zico, Branco, Alemao... I'm a faithful supporter of Brazilians just since Mexican WC. They should have been the champions in 1986, they had everything what they needed to be the champions. But football can be such a cruel game...

[@gumdeo]

Poland should score at least twice in this game.

[@paulrichardson9843]

Yes, it was one of the unluckiest 4 nils I've ever seen. Two penalties correctly given, but Socrates one was almost identical to his one against France that was saved. The keeper almost saved the other penalty, a wonder goal from Josimar and a goal caught on the break. The Brazil side had some great players, but most of them were quite old in '86 and their defence couldn't deal with pace very well.

[@i.marr.6688]

@@paulrichardson9843 I thought Josimar's goal was awesome he really hit the ball with some force, It was sad for Poland Boniek was one of my favourites of that WC Brazil's Team was just as good as the 82 side. Socrates ,Zico. Careca ,Falcao Josimar Alamao Branco ,Oscar and Junior if those guys were playing today you'd want a big chequebook

[@Vitikocosme]

I was only 8 years old and I remember that world cup perfectly. I watched almost all the games and Poland played a tough match during the first minutes and deserved to open the scoring, but the Brazilian team was very good. I remember that here in Brazil people were confident because of the title. We faced France and it was one of the best matches I've seen from Brazil in all the world cups, but we were eliminated. Football is passionate about that, the best doesn't always win.

[@rick2723-s3y]

I swear footballer's 30 years ago had better technique than what we've got today.

[@swkenny]

Actually I know it looks that way but it's because these guys have so much time & space to do their thing. Today's players have far more technical ability but have far less time & space so it's so much harder for them to demonstrate their skill set. As I said to a previous comment the current players would absolutely destroy these old teams without breaking a sweat.

[@imisan]

@@swkenny 100%

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@swkenny It is only with a bit of time and space when the donkeys reveal themselves at the pro level. That's why the likes of Bellerin can get by fine pinging the ball about a slick pitch using the same single technique as training, but with a bit of time and space to make a decision or improvise something, his technique breaks down. Modern players have their "A" technique down, more solidly than the past, but give them a pitch that isn't synthetic snooker table, and they often go to pieces because they only have one technique. And their creative ball striking is far worse in general. Its just an Americanized court sport now, is all - overblown 5-a-side.

[@swkenny]

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin I agree with some of what you're saying but let's put it this way... The current top teams of world football let's say a Liverpool, Man City etc, etc would have this great old Brazilian side beaten by the 20 min mark or half time by the latest. It's just evolution & it's the same for any sport but I still love watching these old games & appreciate that at their time they were top notch & great to watch, still are actually.

[@juanestadian8471]

I dont think they are more technical. Fitter certainly. But fitness only affects the pace of the game. Even if Brazil had more space to move and pass, you would also have to assume they would be as fit as the opposition. What has changed is the consistency with fouls. For example, Claudio Gentile's performance versus Maradona and Zico would never be tolerated today. He would have been sent off before the end of the half. But back then, as thuggish a performance as it was, it was considered a defensive masterclass. Players now have a lot more protection from the referees

But that's the way it goes , strange things do occur of which you just can't explain!!!

[@lemat579]

Boniek said (I have just watched it, that is why I am here) that the best game of Poland at 86 Mundial was... a 0-4 against Brazil. (I am not sure, but to hit post and next to hit a bar, and also referee granted a penalty for Brazil after a "diving" of brazilian)

[@pbd2849]

I think psychically we broke down afer the first goal. Żmuda and Careca got into the penalty area and colided with eachother but the referee dictated penalty for Brazil and your team felt stronger. It was a key moment of this match. The second goal was a start of the execution of Polish team - so, it was a magnificent Josimar's performance. It's very sad that Poles didn't score any goal in the first half. There are three importnant matches against Brazil in our history. The first was our debut match in the World Cup - it was in 1938, we lost 5:6 and our striker Wilimowski scored 4 goals. The second we played in 1974, it was a third place match and we won 1:0. And the third took place in Guadalajara in 1986...

[@annarakannan6620]

I saw this game live back in the day. It is true that todays game and players are better fit and rules favor players and not bully's. As one of the comments said, players 30 years from now will be far better than the players of today and that is how it works in any sport. Just enjoy it for what it is because it is still beautiful to watch these games.

[@richardbrown9623]

This Brazil side wasn't as technically brilliant as the unforgettable '82 side, but still awesome goals and lethal finishing. Poland valiant and incredibly unlucky in this match. They deserved at least a consolation goal.

[@spencerglover1]

The 82 side is definitely the greatest international team I’ve ever seen, 82 was the first World Cup i watched as a kid, in Mexico 86 Zico, Falcao and Socrates were all 33 and past there best, Cerezo pulled a hamstring on the eve of the tournament and my favourite out the lot Éder elbowed a Peruvian in the jaw in the warm up game and Santana banned him from the squad what a shame, junior still had some fire in him he won his last cap in 92 aged 38 playing for Flamengo after his great career in Italy with Torino and Pescara.

[@vja1970]

The technique was still there ( for example the match against France) But they were all on the wrong side of 30. And fatigue and the high altitude were a main factor. I feel that they were playing well within themselves. Only doing enuff to win matches. If anything this side was better balanced than the 82 team. Then there was Careca :-)

[@macioluko9484]

Very true!

[@hugodrax71]

Agree but I'd say the '86 side was actually better-equipped to win the trophy than the '82 side because a) they had a very good goalkeeper b) they had a top-class centre-forward and c) they had a much stronger defence.

[@macioluko9484]

6:08 Edinho's goal was magnificent. The clearance/outside-of-the-foot pass, Careca's reverse pass, then Edinho's one turn (which takes out two players) and finish. I think this Brazil team was a bit underrated. Maybe not as spectacular as the 1982 team but capable of scoring some great goals and they had a good defence and a great striker.

[@ricomajestic]

They should've gone to the final I thought. They got a bit unlucky against France. Zico missed the penalty kick and the game went to penalty kick shootout which is a 50-50 affair. Brazil dominated France in that game.

I'd forgotten how well Poland played in this game, it took a soft penalty and a wonder goal to break them down.

[@rjjcms1]

I could only snatch glimpses of this match on a stranger's TV set that Monday evening,and the bits I saw looked more one-sided than it was. So I didn't quibble with newspaper reports I read that rightly heaped praise on the Brazilians but were unduly harsh on the Polish side in some of their write-ups. Lato was no longer in the side but Boniek and Smolarek were among five players still there from the 1982 team that went all the way to the semi-finals. I was trying to watch every match I could but my dad and stepmum had taken me with them (and my sister may have been there too even though she'd moved out to share digs with a friend the previous summer) to collect a kitten or two from that nice little family house,with its nice tree-happy garden and leafy location,to replace a cat of ours that had died. After a few days they named the kitten Clough,after guess who,because they thought his personality had similarities! He had a habit of sitting waiting in front of his food bowls,and sometimes putting his paw on top of your foot in some kind of optimistic attempt to trap it,while fixing you with the eyes. My stepmum's maiden name is Wilkins,and one day before she got home from work my dad spotted one of those transfer speculation (that turned out to go no further than speculation) article headlines in the sports pages of that day's newspaper,cut it out and put it in front of the cats' food bowls. It read "Clough plays waiting game for Wilkins",after a certain ball-throwing England player (at a referee) from Mexico 86.

Poland had been semi finalists in 82 and Boniek was a class striker. I think people forget how good their team was but the opening sequence of this game showed they had the quality, they just lost their steam when Brazil scored. It shows how well England did to beat Poland 3-0 too. As for Brazil, I am in two minds as to whether this side is better than the 82 team. It is a tough call. Either way, I actually think that, judging by a performance like this, they were probably better than even the Argentine team who won but perhaps they lacked the consistency Argentina had, and the willingness to use their hands.

No. If you know anything about football

[@SpadajSpadaj]

Damn. I remember watching this game as a kid but I forgot how well polish team played (the thing that stuck with me was the final score and the Socrates' penalty).

[@servettefootballclubgeneve8803]

Boniek era mi idolo.

[@eduardocarbonari228]

Careca jogava demais, pqp. Se ele não tivesse se machucado na véspera da Copa de 82 imagina aquele time ....Cerezo, Falcão, Sócrates, Zico, Eder e Careca. O jeito que ele pensava o jogo é muito parecido como aquele time jogava....

[@a.m.armstrong8354]

The 82 team..It was as if the intervening years since 1970 never happened.

[@JohnnyPaton]

Back when Brazil looked like Brazil and not a European side

[@bconni2]

yeah, but the Europeans have won the last 4 World Cups.

[@ricomajestic]

@@bconni2 It's a generational thing. Brazil went to 3 world cup finals in a row in the 90s and early two thousands and won two of them.

[@bconni2]

@@ricomajestic . i'm not knocking Brazil. i'm well aware of their pedigree. just pointing out stupidity when i see it. that's all

Tak, nożyce mistrzowskie. I jeszcze Rysiek Tarasiewicz jak je,,, walnął bombę pod poprzeke. Miał kopyto.

Josimar was beautifull goal in all WC

I was 7 years old ...... I felt sad because Brazil was eliminated by France in this world cup.

0:41 - 0:43. Shot of the century.

[@markgable101]

Careca great centre forward.

[@stiopastiopa8552]

Piękna gra Brazylii...Polska pechowa...sprawiedliwy byłby remis..ale to piłka...wielka szkoda że nie ma już z nami takich artystów futbolu jak Socrates i Smolarek....świeć Panie nad ich duszami...

[@paulwhite1040]

would have been a great game in 1982... these stars were a little aged by now... Socrates and co and Boniek were all over 30 by this point

[@buthan494]

Josimar. Que magnífico jogador.

[@vadimzdonutube]

This was the end of an era for Poland,they finished 3rd in 1974 and 1982, quarterfinalists in 1978 and this was the last time they made it out of the group stage and they wouldn’t qualify again for the World Cup until 2002.

[@fabricioalves928]

Careca era um monstro!

[@powailai9886]

86 brasil team was one of the finest in terms of skills and defense 👏 👌 🙌.

[@bigbenatten5732]

Zico, Socrates, Junior, Oscar, Josimar, Careca ,Falcao Priceless

[@bconni2]

probably the best team to never win a WC. and the 1986 French team, too

[@ArnHaz]

4:07 Josimar single-handed goal from acute angle

[@marciamaria2629]

Eu nunca tinha revisto esse jogo..

[@leolima07]

Zico , Boniek, Sócrates, Júnior, Szamarch ... wow!

[@23alexpb]

What a shot at 41 sec. I Wonder If the The polish Guy actually shot a lime or Rocket

[@kaushikganguli1091]

Correct margin would have been 3-2 for Brazil. Poland always a brave dogged side.

05:45 que chilena espectacular del Polaco Número 20!!
