In continuation of our World Cup series 🌍🏆, we find ourselves in the 1980s 🕺 with the greatest team never to win the World Cup. At least, that is the contention of Stuart Horsfield 📚, the author of The Glorious Failure, a book about the Brazil 1982 team 🇧🇷 that was (spoiler alert 🚨) beaten by Italy 🇮🇹 and, specifically, Paolo Rossi in a weird round robin second round of that competition.
Tune in to find out what happened 🎙️👀. Oh wait. Well, tune in anyway 😅.
That Brazil team really did score some amazing goals ⚽✨ and we know a website that has them all 🌐. Oh, there is a competition too 🎁 — our first ever!
