Italy-Brazil 1982
In response to the bad US soccer I've watched recently, I thought I'd post a summary of one of the greatest games in World Cup history. Paolo Rossi led Italy in a stunner against Brazil 3-2 in the quarterfinals of Spain 1982. I cried. The Brazilian team was technically speaking unmatched in history with Zico and Socrates. They were a pure joy to watch. However, their defense was a bit dubious to say the least. Nowadays people talk about Brazil this and Brazil that, but that's a bunch of BS. now they're a good team but they just play regular soccer. Back then they were playing something else.

Has Brazil's defense been anything but dubious? I mean, they're not really known for their defenders.
No, they're not known for their defenders, but their defense has been much better over the past couple of decades. In 82 it was very shaky.
