Greatest World Cup game of all time? Even the English think it was Italy-Brazil 82

"For sheer drama and quality, this game remains hard to match. Bobby Charlton was my co-commentator and he was almost in tears with the emotion of it all."

I certainly was in tears.
But, I think they excluded two Italy-Germany matches. 1970 and 2006.

There is always a minority opinion. And, that's fine.

The only game that can compare to Italy-Brazil 1982, was the Game of the Century, Italy-Germany 1970. All these minority opinions based on personal allegiances are not really in the competition.

Or when Italy loses on penalty kicks to Brazil.

Hey Brazilian fans, you have only won 1 World Cup more than Italy and you won it on penalty kicks, don't flatter yourselves.

Hey Italian fans, stop crying
Brazil have not only won 1 World Cup more than Italy, but at the ranking of every World Cups, we are in 1st place(172 pts), second is Germany(160 pts) and Italy is only in 3rd(122 pts).

We have won 4 World Cups even after losing our whole team in an airplane crash in 1949. Had we not lost our team, we would have certainly won in 1950. You can count all the points you want , but you are dealing with someone that has forgotten more about football than you will ever learn.

If the U.S ever manages to win a world cup before England wins their second, and I am still alive, I will personally guarantee that you will all hear about me on the news....I don't care if I'm 85 by that time
this is a promise

I'm not talking about the FIFA ranking you're thinking about, it's not the one that is on FIFA.com
I'm talking about a ranking I found on wikipedia, where it shows the position of each country if the world cup was a point based tournament. A victory earns you 3 points, draw 1 point, loss 0 point, you know what I'm saying.

The world is not based on "if that" "if not", etc..
If that's like that, I can say that "if" Ronaldo hadn't a convulsion before 1998 final we would have won it.

I have always admired Uruguay's two World Cup wins, especially when they beat Brazil in Brazil.

I think that people descredit Uruguay when they claim that Olympic wins equal World Cup wins.
