Read Replies (1) | Respond to as a teenager, i had a great passion for the sport... once i cried of frustration and anger as my favorite team lost... -lol Brazil won its first World Cup in Sweden in 1958 with Pele, still a teenager (17)... Brazil 5 x 2 Sweden (in Stockholm) Vavá (2) Pelé (2) & Zagallo scored for Brazil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syncd5yq8o4 i watched (on TV) Brazil's Pelé beat Czechoslovakia. 3 x 1 in the final in 1962 in Chile....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnV_ezpSMI0 Pelé was injured, did not play in the final, Garrincha, Zito Amarildo and Vavá scored for Brazil... that was their 2nd WC then i was at Wembley in 1966. Pelé was injured in a game against Bulgaria and never came out of the group play in the final England (and the famous ghost goal) defeated W. Germany 4 x 2... i was there, and i saw the ball hit the crossbar, bounced (not in) and out... the linesman (a Russian if i remember correctly) said it had gone in... -lol... Germany lost all hope, and England scored its 4th goal to clear all doubts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMDuHPvNtgg then in Mexico City watched at the Azteca Stadium Brazil's win of their 3rd World Cup (Jules Rimet - which meant they kept it for good), beating Italy 4 x 1.... in fairness... the Italians were "spent" due to their semifinal match against west Germany, beating them 4 x 3 in over-time fiercely played (yes i watched that too)... and in my opinion, THAT game has been the BEST match of football ever played. Italy went ahead 1 x 0... in the last minute of regular time Germany scores the equalizer.... to over time... in which Germany goes ahead 2 x 1.... and on and on.... best to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIxr3kQnYvk so after such an exciting game (and tiring).... Italy went to the final against the BEST verde-amarela ever assembled Final 1970 Mexico city Brazil 4 x 1 Italy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZRdegSdrBI Brazil (with Pelé) win their 3rd WC hence keeping the Jules Rimet trophy for good. (1958 Sweden, 1962 - Chile, 1970 Mexico) enjoy....
