as a teenager, i had a great passion for the sport...
once i cried of frustration and anger as my favorite team lost... -lol
Brazil won its first World Cup in Sweden in 1958 with Pele, still a teenager (17)... Brazil 5 x 2 Sweden (in Stockholm)
Vavá (2) Pelé (2) & Zagallo scored for Brazil

i watched (on TV) Brazil's Pelé beat Czechoslovakia. 3 x 1 in the final in 1962 in Chile....

Pelé was injured, did not play in the final, Garrincha, Zito Amarildo and Vavá scored for Brazil... that was their 2nd WC
then i was at Wembley in 1966.
Pelé was injured in a game against Bulgaria and never came out of the group play
in the final England (and the famous ghost goal) defeated W. Germany 4 x 2...
one hell of a thriller game... Germany scoring first... England tying and going ahead 2 x 1, and in the last minute of regular time Germany tied the game 2 x 2 in overtime,,, the ghost goal came...
i was there, and i saw the ball hit the crossbar, bounced (not in) and out... the linesman (a Russian if i remember correctly) said it had gone in... -lol... Germany lost all hope, and England scored its 4th goal to clear all doubts

then in Mexico City watched at the Azteca Stadium Brazil's win of their 3rd World Cup (Jules Rimet - which meant they kept it for good), beating Italy 4 x 1.... in fairness... the Italians were "spent" due to their semifinal match against west Germany, beating them 4 x 3 in over-time fiercely played (yes i watched that too)... and in my opinion, THAT game has been the BEST match of football ever played.
Italy went ahead 1 x 0... in the last minute of regular time Germany scores the equalizer.... to over time...
in which Germany goes ahead 2 x 1.... and on and on.... best to watch

so after such an exciting game (and tiring).... Italy went to the final against the BEST verde-amarela ever assembled
Final 1970 Mexico city
Brazil 4 x 1 Italy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZRdegSdrBI
Brazil (with Pelé) win their 3rd WC hence keeping the Jules Rimet trophy for good. (1958 Sweden, 1962 - Chile, 1970 Mexico)
enjoy....
