After reading the above erstwhile great team, I gasped, "Where is
Causio?  Where is Rivera?"  I was also trying to remember the name
of the centre-forward of the late 1970s.  Good in the air if I remember
correctly.

Sorry, you got the wrong one :-). I think you meant:

1   Valdir Peres
2   Leandro
3   Oscar
4   Luizinho
6   Junior
5   Falcao
8   Toninho Cerezzo
7   Socrates
10  Zico
9   Serginho
11  Eder

Not a very lucky team, I agree. But definetely better than the one you
mentioned.

BTW are the above numbers right ? I always thought that Socrates was
wearing 8. I know Cerezo was 5, Falcao 15 and the sparingly used
Miller (Muller ?) 7.

Overall a very good team with incompetent goalie and centre-forward

No need for Lineker. A 22-years-old Careca was the starter for that team
before getting hurt 2 months before the WC. As I said before, not a very
lucky team :-)

You missed my point here, I'm not saying that this was the best brazilian
team ever, I'm just saying it was better than Italy and the best in the
world at that time, just that. Do you want an all-time best-11 for Brazil?
Fine, here goes my selection:

1. Gilmar
2. Djalma Santos
3. Domingos da Guia
4. Nilton Santos
6. Junior
5. Falcao
8. Zizinho
7. Garrincha
9. Zico
10. Pele'
11. Rivelino

And you can put Didi, Socrates, Romario, Tostao, Gerson, Carlos Alberto, Zito,
Ademir Menezes, Jairzinho, Cerezzo, Leao, Careca, etc. in the bench if you
need them :-)

Hello brazilians, sorry if a missed someone :-)
