A bit too young to remember him, although I do recall 1986, and Brazil found a way to lose against the dirty French.
Just like 1982, after seeing highlights over the years, and now thanks to youtube, probably the prettiest soccer played in a WC in the last 40 years since Brazil in 1970, but the team didn't win anything. The captian of this team, and made the list 2 times on some of these magical goals. Prototypical Brazil....a bit of flair, cokiness, and fantastic skill, all rolled into one. The nickname came from the fact that he did study medicine.
