World Cup Spain 1982 - Second group stage The game was closer than the scoreline suggested. Maradona was denied a legitimate penalty, and Argentina were close to equalizing before Brazil hit their second. Eder´s freekick and Diaz´s consolation goal were two of the best that year. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6y8LVCxtxA"]Argentina - Brazil 1982 World Cup[/ame] The absence of two star strikers and the lack of either quality defending or goalkeeping catches up with Brazil. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTfPOzUc1JI"]Italy 3 v 2 Brazil at world cup 1982. Classic match[/ame] They finally met their match in what should have been the final. Italy (a complete team) ended the dream. Pele said after the Cup Brazil could have used a player like him.
