The 1970 Brazil Team

The Brazil national football team is controlled by the CBF and represents Brazil in international football competitions. They are the most successful national football team in the history of the World Cup, with five championships (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002). A common quip about football is: "The English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it". Which stems from the fact that English players were the first to codify the modern game of football.

Brazil is generally considered to be the strongest football nation in the world and is the only team to have played in every World Cup.

Brazilians refer to national football teams (from any country) as "seleção", often capitalised when referring to the Brazilian team. The literal meaning is "selection" and can be translated as "the selected". A popular nickname is "Canarinho" (little canary), referring to the yellow jerseys worn during home games.

In 1970, Brazil won the FIFA World Cup with six wins in six matches, an achievement which had not been seen before (Uruguay, in 1930, and Italy, in 1938, also won all their matches, but there were only 4 rounds till the championship) and was only outdone by Brazil itself in the 2002 World Cup, when the team won all seven matches.

Brazil fielded what has been considered to be the best football squad ever with Pelé, in his last World Cup final, Carlos Alberto, Jairzinho, Tostão, Gérson and Rivelino. After winning the Jules Rimet Trophy for the third time Brazil was allowed to keep it for good. The 1970 Brazil national team is considered by many as the best national team ever.

For many around the world this is the best Brazilian..maybe football team ever!
