    Socrates R.I.P

    Didn't saw him play, but saw some youtube videos.


    Someone here is old enough and saw him?

    A lot of comments from people saying the Brazil 82 team that played at the WC was one of the best ever.

    And and epic game





    Lot of people says that if not cause of Paolo Rossi, Brazil could have go and win the WC!

    And other interestingh thing, today Corinthians the team in which he played his best football became champion of the Brasilian league!

    R.I.P Socrates

    RIP - Socrates

    Most here are probably too young to remember this guy but he was one of the best soccer players I have ever seen and captained what was probably the best team NOT to have won the World Cup (Brazil, 1982).

    Different era. You can't directly compare Messi to players from 30 years ago.

    Sad loss to the game it appears from all I have heard over the weekend.
