When we think back to previous World Cup tournaments, many fans - myself included - look back to the 1982 Brazil side as the best in our living memory.
The names of the players conjure some beautiful memories. Players such as Socrates, Eder, Falcao, Junior, Zico and others.
Thanks to YouTube, all of them are the incredible goals that they scored in the 1982 World Cup are featured in the above video. Don't you wish the Brazilians were as good as this now!

Those would rank as some of the best goals in any tournament. I must say #5 involved some great teamwork and #4 was a great finish. Obviously goals # 1 and 2 on the list were great strikes!
I doubt we will see similar goals from the current Brazil squad or any other side for the matter. One interesting point: On some of these goals, one can see the defensive strategy and concentration inside the penalty area by the opponents yet the superior skills of the Brazilian players made the unthinkable happen and opened up the opponents by great passing, movement and individual skils all combined together.
Sorry, the correct answer is “Brazil ’70″ as the greatest World Cup team ever. That last goal in the above video is phenomenal though.
Brazil team of WC 1982 is probably one of the most talented teams to not win the competition. I believe Hungary over 50 years ago was the other squad in contention for being considered as one of the best teams not to lift the trophy in a particular year.
