The Story of the FIFA Confederations Cup: 1997

[@ldn5986]

Romario and Ronaldo, a re-edition of Pelé and Garrincha, a duo so perfect it had Brazil simulteanously World Cup, Continental Cup and Confederations Cup champions.

[@ivanalhamed6843]

One of the greatest football misfortune ever is Romario's injury in 98...he missed world cup...Brazil would win...Ronaldo and Romario had PERFECT chemistry

[@etc3625]

Bring This Tournament Back... it was Fantastic..

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

Let's not forget the fact that a golden generation Australia beat a strong Uruguay and went to the finals against Brazil! Uruguay were the favorites in that semi-final!

[@gerjaison]

From memory Australia had a red card early on. So it was 10 vs 11 for most of the match.

[@ppgranja3]

Brasil!!! Ronaldo + Romario + Cafu + Denilson + Roberto Carlos....DREAM TEAM IN 1997!!!

[@miriangelashvili6900]

Aldairi, sezar sampaio, leonardo, edmundo, junior baiano, bebeto, giovani

[@fidelgarza347]

I don't think there will be another team this talented like this one wow unbelievable players

[@JarrettMehldau]

Ze Roberto was also part of that team.

[@karenmakeup1]

Olho assim e fico triste pela equipe de hoje em dia, isso sim era futebol arte :/ ainda vamos recuperar que eu sei, Brasil.

[@JoseyWales93]

Romario is the best finisher ever, what a wonderful striker!!!

[@neotuber8646]

The very best

[@maikolim37]

What? Are you telling me that Australia was a Finalist in this Tournament? I'm impressed.

[@btf_flotsam478]

Four years before Australia made the World Cup Qualifiers look like a joke (and used the Confederations Cup as a punch-line)? Yeah, everyone from major soccer teams and umpires to OFC presidents and World Cup selection committees have underrated Australia at their peril.

⚽Brasil FIRST Three-peat of MAJOR trophies (WC94/América97/Confederation97). They did it again in 2005. Only France accomplished it as well in 2001 (WC98/Euro2000/Confe2001)

[@javierburgos7]

Not really, France should have won the confe in 1999 but declined partaking, 2001 was two years later, so their ''three peat'' doesnt count

[@bekirtunagurdamar8445]

(WC 02, 05 Cf, 04 CA )

[@bifftannen66]

Romario was denied a world cup, Brazil was. Because the coach disliked the guy he couldn't come, they sure would have needed him in the finals with Ronaldo poisoned

[@gulistanaaz3480]

Doesn't Actually Make A Difference Because He Won It In 1994 And Was Voted The Best Player, And Won The Golden Ball With 5 Goals

[@bifftannen66]

@@gulistanaaz3480 It does, he would have two world cups and recognition would go up way higher if he achieved twice on row

We did well to draw with them and make the final.

[@andytet-dife3154]

Romario was injured

[@PinkasBrown44]

The injury was a pretext the national coach used due to a personal quarrel with Romário, By the time Brazil was playing in the quarter-finals in 98, Romário had already recovered from injury, scoring goals for his club.

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

Wasn't he like out of shape and partying too much?

[@midoali2720]

A wonderful review of this tournament, and Brazil was the best team in this tournament, Ronaldo was the best ever

[@andytet-dife3154]

Hat trick for both Ronaldo9 and Romario11 Look at 1994 to 1999 1994 Brazil final won 1995 Brazil final lost 1996-1997 Brazil won copa America and confederations cup 1998 Brazil final lost 1999 Brazil final won. 6 years straight Brazil always went to the final Amazing team

[@536767676533766]

Not normal, in that time 1997 Brasil had so many good players.There where not good there where great best of the world.

[@casamentotatyanethiago4357]

Bolívia was 97 Copa América runner-up, Brazil was both champion of World Cup and Copa América so the Bolivian team represented the CONMEBOL on that tournament. Also, the Czeh Republic played instead of Germany that withdrew from playing the tounament

[@joker3245]

Bill Mcmanaman -v- is a perfect example of a hater that was one of the best years of Brazil but they can't see Mexico win anything or they start making all these excuses how the tournament didn't mean anything or how the opponent wasntt any good. lol omg these ppl.
