    RIP Socrates

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16017071.stm

    Might have to dig out my Brazil 1930 - 1986 DVD later on I think. The 1982 team were something else. They took Total Football and ran with it - for example watch Junior's goal against Argentina and then try and tell me "there have been no better attacking full-backs than Ashley Cole". They would have swept the board if they didn't have Serginho up front - think a less elegant Heskey...

    They've now got highlights of the Scotland game up there now. You'd have thought they'd have picked the Russia game (in which he scored), or of course the Italy one - but maybe they'll come later. Still lots to enjoy in this one though:

    Eder's chip
    Scotland's Number Five...

    Shame he never won anything with Brazil.

    Looked a good player but played during a time when Brazil were a bit shit

    82 and 86 teams seemed a bit Pub Teamesque and i say this having never watched them play but based on their World Cup performances
