I was nine years old when I saw this Brazil team win the World Cup. They left an indelible memory in my mind till this day. I can still recite the entire team line-up. It was and is truly the greatest team I’ve ever seen in my life, and I’ve watched every single World Cup since 1966. After more than 50 years, no other team has come close to this magical group.

[@bharatvarsha7]

what about the brazil's 2002 team? that team looks total team as usual..exceptional striker and defender

[@kenzone]

@@bharatvarsha7that team had a few stars like Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Cafu. But they had nothing like the super lineup from back to front with Pele, Tostao, Jairzinho, Gerson, Rivelino, Carlos Alberto - every single one of them a goal threat from every direction. Actually the 1986 Brazil team coached by Tele Santana is the second best Brazil team I’ve seen, with Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Branco, Careca and Junior playing magical one-touch football. They lost in the quarterfinals but were simply a brilliant team to watch.

[@rajbalore7648]

Francis Lee almost scored against this team when England played them in the group match. In spite of losing 0-1, England went through to the quarters, only to lose 2-3 against W Germany without Banks who was replaced by a nervous Bonetti

Greatest football tournament ever. I was 12 at the time of the 1970 World Cup and remember every game. Best game was Brazil v England on June 7th at Guadalajara. The world's greatest striker against the world's best defender. That game was a classic. It had everything. Gordon Banks making that epic save from Pele. England taking command in the heat. The Brazilian attack showing glimpses of their brilliance. Tostao, Pele and Jairzinho produce a moment of sheer magic and Brazil lead. Alan Ball hits the bar, Jeff Astle misses an open goal and Brazil eventually record a famous victory. Fabulous match. One of my treasured possessions is a large, framed, original photo of Pele and Bobby Moore shaking hands and embracing at the end of the game. Brazil were simply majestic in that tournament. Wonderful, beautiful memories !

A great example of how Italy's man marking was a greatly flawed strategy, as you see Fachetti, one of the best left backs ever, used to defend Jairzinho, one of the greatest right wings ever, well normally that's pretty acceptable as Jairzinho played in Fachetti's zone so he defending was pretty much the right thing to do. But as explained in the video Brazil's intense switch of positions meant you couldn't really man mark all time against then, as at the moment of the fourth goal Jairzinho went to the left wing to create space for Carlos Alberto, and loyal to their man marking strategy Fachetti followed him, leaving a huge gap in Italy's left side of the defense, exactly what allowed Carlos Alberto's penetration and goal. It's a brilliant tactical move that Brazil were the pioneers of, the switching of the 2 wingers up front to confuse the defenders (Jairzinho going to the left and Rivelino to the right) as well as the switch between their striker and their number 10 (Tostao and Pelé). Simply perfection, unifying the indivdual artistry with tactical genious

How anyone would consider Messi greater than Pele is just sad. This is the greatest team ever and Pele was part of it. Incredible

[@amooolusina6978]

Has Pele ever played with Higuain to reach the world cup final? Put Messi in the Brazil team from 1958 to 1970, he would win 4 world cup titles easily. Pele was good but he was equally carried by his teammates. Messi is a better player than Pele. It is not up for debate. Messi is the most efficient player in the history of football. Reply when Pele has 2 world cup golden balls. He had 1, his teammates had 2. The only advantage Pele had over his Brazilian teammates was age (young enough to play with 2 generations of extremely talented Brazilian groups. His coach in the 1970 world cup was his teammate in the 1958 edition!

I watched every televised game of the 1970 World Cup and every other world cup to date so I've seen a few. This one was by far the best one it had so much skill, goals and imagination especially by the master himself Pele. The things he done in that tournament I'll never forget. One that will always stand out is his brilliant header that was saved by the brilliant Gordon Banks. How Pele rose as high off the ground as he did and direct the ball down at the perfect angle I have no idea, but how the hell Gordon Banks saved it is another mystery. My final thanks goes to every team that took part to make this my number 1 World Cup.

1982 Brazil was as good but unlucky. Football today is so popular only because of those beautiful Brazilian teams.

[@MikeHenrycashback]

@80s guy The 82 Brazilian team were every bit as good as the 70s team, they even had a Pele like icon in their team called Socrates. They were very unlucky to run into a resurgent Rossi who was in the right place at the right time in that match. The difference with Brazilian teams nowadays is that they no longer arrive at tournaments with any mystery. Because football is a money making machine all their superstars are whipped away into European football before they are 100% Brazilian baked and ready to make the impact they used to. 😢

[@YoogiNation]

Jairzinho's goal against Uruguay is actually absurd! the fake that froze the defender then acceleration thereafter. What a thing of beauty! Today, people only know Messi and Ronaldo, but there are so many forgotten legends!

The best squad ever and not because they had phenomenal players like Tostao who many saw as the best player in the world at that time, Pele the greatest ever, Rivelino who nobody wanted to get embarrassed by but because they had one of the best passers ever in Gerson that nobody ever talks about! How history hardly mentions anything about this dude when they talk about greats and the funny thing is he might have been Brazils best player at that tournament!

Yes so much better when no teams outside Europe and South America made for such a better “world” cup.

I love watching African teams regularly play toe to toe with the traditionally big teams. Players today are much more physical and faster.

My father as a child escaped with my grandfather from Hungary as the Russian tanks were invading his country in 56 and to my incredible luck emigrated to Brazil. I was 8 years old when I witnessed with my father this imortal team take the World Cup trophy home. I inherited my father’s passion for World Cups due to Hungary’s World Cup history including their amazing team in the 54 final. I emigrated to the U.S. in 79 and had the joy of watching Brazil play every game live and win in the 94 World Cup, the year my daughter was born, when she was also 8 years old she was visiting Rio with my wife at my father’s home when Brazil won in 02, since then my father passed away and I made a pact with my daughter that when the World Cup comes back to the U.S. we’ll go see all games that Brazil plays at the stadiums, she’ll be 32! I always joked that I track my life in increments of 4 years. Interesting to note that it took from the 70 Word Cup 24 years for Brazil to win again in the U.S. 94 tournament. In the 2026 North American World Cup with its final in the U.S. once again it will be 24 years since Brazil won its fifth World Cup in 02. I hope the football/soccer Gods are keeping track of all of this! ⚽️🇺🇸🇧🇷
