Were they elite or shit? My boomer Dad keeps going on about how great they were but they won fuck all for Brazil

shit, won literally nothing. Only nostalgic boomers rate them

I've never seen a ~1.93m player being this graceful

Even Ibrahimovic looks like a mammoth compared to him

Zico is a youtuber (due to his son) now

My dad goes on all the time about how Zico is the greatest free kick taker of all time. I don't think I've ever heard him talk about Socrates

What, mate? This team dominated the game. They were experts at keeping the ball.

foda-se, zico era bom mas nunca foi tudo isso

>divegrass player unironically names himself "Socrates"
>"critically acclaimed" style of play yet didn't win a WC
Do you even need to watch him at this point to tell he's overrated?

That's his literal name, retard.

>Sócrates was a physician, a rare achievement for a professional footballer (he held a bachelor's degree in medicine from the Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto).[26] Even rarer is the fact that he earned the degree while concurrently playing professional football. After retiring as a player he practised medicine at Ribeirão Preto.[2]

That's cool but he was still a socialist, and the 3 Rs were probably better partly because they all voted for Bolsonaro desu

Sócrates was a lazy commie bastard and a drunkard to boot.
Zico was based, but tended to run his mouth once in a while, though nowhere near the level of Romário or Pelé.

Is your IQ a single digit?

This was not me btw
(I hate when people with the same flag as me reply to a post that replied to without telling that they are someone else, very rude)

Socialist players tend to be overrated because they draw a cult following(see Cruyff). It's just an empirical observation. Sorry

They were fucking amazing, one of the best team in the history of football. Unironically better than most Brazil world champion squads (except 70s), joga bonito at it's finest. They were definitely better and played better football than the most acclaimed brazilian generation (2002-2006), but were just unlucky that couldn't won the cup.
Pitifully, brazilian people is retarded and they only care about wins, so they don't rate them.

Well, socialists and cults of personality walk hand in hand, I'll give you that. Still, that came like a desperate attempt to one-up someone praising a socialist, which is a very bad way to prove your point.
Anyways, fuck Sócrates, and fuck Corinthians, and fuck communism.

Based as fuck and huepilled

The only brazilian team that deserved to win, too bad we cucked them.

>Pitifully, brazilian people is retarded and they only care about wins, so they don't rate them.
Way to expose your ignorance about >us, Juan. This team is considered to this day one of our best of all time around here, though obviously you'll see only middle aged and old people saying it because the younger monkeys weren't alive to watch them play.

>people will make this exact thread about Messi and Aguero in 30 years time

Except that none of their losses in WC were "upsets", and they were never really hailed as the best NT of their generation.

Just watch a fucking highlight video of the 82 WC user.

They got stuck playing in thugball era where two footed studs up challenges were okay.

Which is what I said in this thread
