Socrates, who played in 1982 and 1986 world cup finals. Unfortunately, he was part of a generation of great brazilian players who did not manage to lift the Cup, such as Zico, Junior, Falcao, etc...\nSocrates was a local hero for Corinthians fans, but also played in Fiorentina, Botafogo, Flamengo, and Santos.

Quote:\n\nCaptain Cafu’s appearance in the game with Ghana in Dortmund was his 19th FIFA World Cup game - a Brazilian record, taking him past Claudio Taffarel and Dunga who were both on 18. If Brazil go all the way and he plays in all the remaining games, Cafu would end the tournament on 22, three behind record-holder Lothar Matthaus who appeared in every FIFA World Cup between 1982 and 1998.

My favorite player by far is Ronaldinho Gaucho and i would tell him that not only will my national team beat Brazil but i will embarrass him so bad by schooling with his own trademark moves that he's going to beg for my autograph and i will take his cleats ( so i can cherish them for the rest of my life lol).

It is Franz Beckenbauer. I wonder what's going on with him at this moment. I saw him playing with with his arm tied by bandages to his body after breaking his collar bone because he refused to be taken out of the game in the finals during the world championship of 1974 (correct me if I'm wrong).\nThose were the days of good soccer!\nHail to him.

Pele\nEdson Orantes de Nasciemento\n\nwatched a million movies of his highlights at soccer camp as a kid.\n\nsaw him score on a bicycle kick in a Brazil v. Mexico friendly. Saw him play for Brazil and NY Cosmos.\n\nInstrumental in Brazil's creation of "The Beautiful Game."\n\nWithout Pele, there would be no soccer as we see it played today. There would be no Maradona, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, you name 'em!

Manoel Francisco dos Santos (October 28, 1933 – January 20, 1983), known by the nickname "Garrincha" ("little bird"). He was a Brazilian football right winger and forward who helped the Brazil national team win the World Cups of 1958 and 1962. He is considered one of the best dribblers in football history, and the best Brazilian player ever after Pelé.The word garrincha itself means wren. \nGarrincha was born in Pau Grande, a district of Magé, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in 1933. He had several birth defects: his spine was deformed, his right leg bent inwards and his left leg six centimeters shorter and curved outwards; yet he still became one of the greatest players in football history, due to his ball handling, explosiveness and dribbling skills, along with being a very effective shooter and crosser. He had the ability to turn on himself at top speed, which he used to great effect. The constant attacks and goal opportunities he generated from individual plays on the right wing would often end on an accurate pass to a teammate in position to score.The success he had on the football pitch had great contrast with his personal life.\nGarrincha played 50 international matches for Brazil between 1955 and 1966, and appeared in the 1958, 1962 and 1966 World Cups. Brazil only lost one match with him on the pitch, against Hungary at the 1966 World Cup. Pelé did not play the game against Hungary, and thus Brazil never lost when Garrincha and he were on the same team.\n.........the best dribbler of all-time, and can match him today, Cristiano, not Giggs with his lack of control, not Ronaldo, not Zizou, not anyone...

I had the same feeling about Peter Crouch, how something like that can happen? I've heard jokes about the Brazilian player KAKA too...for us Brazilians , Kaka is nickname for Carlos, but can be used as shit too. Luckly he doesn't do "shit" in our soccer, at least by now...hahahaha
