The Brazilian football team is believed to have played its first official match in 1914 against English club side Exeter City, which they won 2-0. Their first full international was against Argentina the same year. Since then they have become the most successful international football team in history. "The English invented it, the Brazilians perfected it" is a phrase often heard in Brazil and the side has backed this up by winning the FIFA World Cup a record five times. Re-live the glory days of 1958, 1962 and 1970 when the Brazilian team was arguably the best the sport has produced. Check on the glittering careers of Rivaldo and Bebeto in the 1990s and wonder at the magic of the latest players to make it to the world stage like Neymar, Daniel Alves and Adriano. More than 500 footballers have worn the coveted yellow Brazilian shirt, from Pele, Gilmar and Dunga to Zico, Ronaldo and Kaka. This book provides detailed information on the top 100, with each entry including fascinating statistics, career highs and lows and a brief biography of the finest footballers to have graced the game.
