It's funny you say about the 'old Brazil'.. I drink in a proper old school social club in Banstead.. I've been brought up in there more or less by my old man.. Always remember a guy who drank in there years back (He died about 6 years ago)
He was a total alcoholic bless him and it was sad as he was a very gifted football player back in the 70s who played for Sutton United, so didn't do to bad but the demon drink got hold of him..
Anyway I digress.. I always remember he used to wear a Brazil shirt and supported Brazil in any major tournament.. I asked him why once and he said ' Because in the 70s Brazil played football how it should be played.. They played it beautifully and Pele was the epitome of how football should always be'...

Sorry a bit of a pointless story I know but it always stuck in my head so I thought now was the perfect time to tell it!!

It's how a lot of people felt. Brazil was probably most people's second team. The same will not be said of the Argies.

Pele was ok but he was no Harry Cripps.

... and for that we can be thankful .. the one thing they do share is that both are deceased
