I will surely go for 1970. The team was on a mission which it accomplished. I recall that the entire forward line was "lethal". From Tostao to Pele and Jarzinho. The 1982 squad even though was the favorite for that year considering it had the likes of the great Zico, Socrates, Junior, Alemao (to mention but a few) had a poor striker in Serginho who ironically performed brilliantly at the club level before the world cup.

Manchester United, they also won the European cup in 1968.

1970 - BRAZIL 4-1 ITALY\n1982 - ITALY 3-1 WEST GERMANY\n1994 - BRAZIL 0-0 ITALY (Brazil won 3-2 on penalties)\n2006 - ????\n\nthe above statistics shows that ITALY qualified for the final, once in 12 years beginning in 1970. they qualfied again in 1982 & 1994. \n\non 04.07.2006, ITALY will play GERMANY for a place in the final. GERMANY with their home support could sneak thru while ITALY could do it yet again after their miserable campaign in 2002. will the history favours ITALY?? we'll wait & see.

Maradona was the best football player, but Pele was the best professional football player.

That was ITALY, losing 4-1, probably one of the greatest World Cup final of all time. BRAZIL's winning team of 1970 was one of the greatest squad led by you know who.....Pele.

Uruguay won two of them in 1930 and 1950\nItaly won it in 1934 and 1938\nW. Germany won it in 1954\nBrazil won it in 1958 and 1962 and \nEngland won it in 1966\n\nThen came the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Italy and Brazil faced off, each having won two under their belts, the winner takes all and keeps the Jules Rimet Cup. Brazil won 4-1, and are the proud OWNERS of that Cup.

at the end of the group stages of the 1970 world cup it was quite clear that the tournament was a two-horse race. england and brasil had dominated the early stages to an extent nobody had expected - or even believed.\n\nin their quarter-final match against west germany england dominated the first half of their game, and were 2-0 ahead with only twenty minutes to go when their manager took off their star player to rest him for the semi-final.\n\nwest germany scored two goals in the final twenty minutes to draw level, then put england out 3-2 after extra time.\n\nthe only teams i have yet seen playing like world cup winners are argentina and probably spain.\n\nbut it is football - anything can happen.

BraZIL\n\nIn 1962 the Football World Cup returned to the continent of South America. It was held in Chile by FIFA's decision in Lisbon in June 1956 , and won by Brazil, who retained the championship beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final.\n\nOnly three nations competed for the honour of staging the tournament. Chile prevailed over West Germany and Argentina though the larger, better-equipped Latin American country was the favorite. The format of the competition stayed the same as 1958: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.\n\nIn May 1960, as the preparations were well under way, Chile suffered one of the largest earthquakes (8.5 magnitude) of the twentieth century, which caused enormous damage to the national infrastructure. In face of this, Carlos Dittborn, the president of the Organization Committee, coined the phrase "Because we don't have anything, we will do everything in our power to rebuild," which became the unofficial slogan of the tournament. Stadia and other infrastructure were rebuilt at record speed and the tournament occurred on schedule with no major organizational flaw. Sadly, Dittborn would not live to see the success of his tireless efforts, as he died one month before the start of the tournament. The World Cup venue at Arica was renamed in his honor and bears his name to this day.
