Maxi Rodriguez vs Mexico

He had a rating of 10 for both games. It's difficult to think of many great individual perfomances in WC, tbh.

[Brazil]

Leonidas 38, Kempes 78

:tu on kempes 78

in WC Maradona and Kempes > Missi tbh

Before 60 I have not a lot of clue tbh... I guess 58 Pele could be in there too.

Nice call on 62 Garrincha. Totally underrated. He was a 1-man team after Pele's injury.

Brasil never lost a single match with Pele and Garrincha playing together. 40 matches, 36 wins and 4 draws and with 55 goals by both. Greatest duo of all-time tbh

Nigga scored every goal for Brazil until the coach decided to rest him in SF because he thought he would win anyways :lol They were beaten by Italy and had to play the 3rd place match.

I'm a fan of Botafogo and a fan of Garrincha, I swore to a dude in Rio to root for them after having drunk at least 15 caipi on ipanema beach during my first trip in Brazil... Did you read the book A Estrela Solitaria of Ruy Castro ? amazing book.

[DAF86]

Haters fighting each other to take the bait. :lol

I didn't, but thanks for the indication. :toast

15 caipirinhas ? holly shit you can drink son

Botofago has a nice history. They're the smallest fanbase among the greats in RJ, but easily the most loyal fans. They've suffered so much in the past 20 years and still kept it going.

I'm a rugby guy from south west of France I can take some caipi :lol also and to be fair I started at 11 am till 8/9 pm that day. I was so drunk I paid for most of the dinks of the rogerio (the botafogo fan) "barraca"... at the end of the day dude was as much drunk as me, we discussed Botafogo / Garrincha the whole day, him in portugues and I in portunhol. He offered to me to erase half of my bill that was pretty huge if I started to root for Botafogo... I went with a king posture and said: "not only I will be botafogo for life but I pay for all and add 200 reais because you are a great guy". One of my best Brazilian memory tbh :lol

you gonna love this book.

A local magazine once named Botafogo one of the "jinx" teams in the world.

If you wanna prop Messi, you gotta go with his youth world cup, tbh... det goal against Brazil was tits....
