We all have heard about the great games and players of the past. Pele, Garincha and Maradonas alll played in an era when I was either too young or had not even been born. So I really started watching worldcup football matches since the 1998 World Cup. It should have been all about Ronaldo but we all know what happened in the finals. So, myself being a huge soccer fan, had my hopes high for Brazil in the 2002 World Cup and Whoila! they delivered. Even to this day, i remember almost all the goals brazil scored. They won all the matches comfortably, barring perhaps against England when Ronaldinho scored a blinder, which he later admitted that he was going for a pass not a goal. Still the beautiful game they played in the tournament and the great goals they scored and the fact that no opponent really gave them a scare proves that since 1996 world cup, brazil of 2002 was the best team even upto now. Spain in 2012 are close call but my points go to that team.
