One of my favourite players that ever played for the Brazilian national squad has died from an intestinal infection.

Socrates scored some sick goals. Very sad indeed.

Check this finish (and Zico's turn and pass)

I first saw him in the '82 World Cup, just thought the Brazilians were magic, little did I know about the team of 1970
