Runners up World Cup 1950 - Brazil. Facts: Ademir Menezes (“the Big Chin”) was the top scorer of the WC 50 with 9 goals. Tactical tendencies: Coach Dori Krueschner came to Brasil during the 40’s decade to coach CR Flamengo and with him all the influences from the English Herbert Chapman and his WM system. The WM system was very successful at club level with Vasco da Gama (Rio de Janeiro) during that time. Vasco players were the base of the Brazil National Team in 1950, therefore the WM system and sometimes a variation to a 4-2-4. Brazil had a tremendous campaign but lost to Uruguay, an unexpected historical upset inside of the Maracana Stadium. 2) BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM 1958 BRASIL 1958 (4-2-4): GYLMAR; DE SORDI (DEJALMA SANTOS), BELLINI, ORLANDO e NILTON SANTOS; DINO SANI (ZITO) DIDI; JOEL (GARRINCHA), VAVÁ (MAZOLLA), DIDA (PELÉ), ZAGALLO.
