The Official Seleção History thread

Yes, I saw that... he gave us a lot.

 

R.I.P Zito!!! Thanks for all the memories for Brazil and Santos!! I'm quite sure we will be wearing black armbands on Wednesday!!

 

21 years ago today we won our Tetra!! Wonderful memories!!!

 

Damn!! I f'd up!! I'm off by a month!! World Cup 1994 started today!!

Then you had the New York Rangers Victory parade, the Houston Rockets winning the NBA title, Arnold Palmer's last game and then to top it off O.J Simpson's Bronco chase by the police!!

 

Bakaman,

Why do you do that??

 

Because it's fun

 

I thought you had something vs 1994!! Maybe it was a bad year for you!!

 

Nah not really. I don't remember much of it because I was 7 (6 during the cup).

 

Is Thiago Silva injured? I haven't seen him at Copa America 2015.

 

He's playing now in place of D. Luiz

 

55-minute radio clip from 1950 - Brazil 6, Spain 1.

 

13 years ago today....we won our Penta!!!

 

No need to explain!!!

 

Knew I can count on you to make me chuckle...

 

Our B Team from Copa America 1993 was so good. Ultimately we were eliminated in the quarter-finals but there was hope.



22 - Zetti [São Paulo]
2 - Cafu [São Paulo]
3 - Antônio Carlos [Palmeiras]
4 - Válber [São Paulo]
6 - Roberto Carlos [Palmeiras]
17 - Luisinho-RJ [Vasco]
8 - Marco Antônio Boiadeiro [Cruzeiro]
10 - Palhinha São Paulo]
(18 - Marquinhos ) [Flamengo]
11 - Zinho [Palmeiras]
7 - Edmundo [Palmeiras]
(20 - Almir) [Santos]
9 - Müller [São Paulo]

 

On this date we suffered two embarrassing 3-0 defeats in 1998 to France and last year to Holland!!

 

What happened to defensive midfielders Sandro and Paulinho? Sandro is playing in the championship for Queens Park Rangers and Paulinho is playing in China. Both of them should be in better leagues then that. Anybody know why both of them have been thrown away so fast? They are both only 26 years old.

 

I would say Paulinho confidence was destroyed during his time in England and he never recovered. I think Sandro had injury issues which delayed his development and he regressed.

 

Today 65 years ago was the upset in Rio as we lost to Uruguay in that World Cup Final!!!

 

Now it was 21 years ago today when we won our Tetra!!!
