So Sad, Socrates passed away just a moment ago, deep condolence for him and his family and all of his fans in Brazil and all over the world. The Brazilian captain on 1982 world cup who has well known as dream team but unable to win world cup,this continue to 1986 world cup either. He is also famous with his penalty kick-trade mark, one step only penalty and make goal keeper hard to guess where he wanted to placed the ball on the net.Although, he was also one of the failed penalty taker on 1986 world cup penalty drama against France.He has played for Corinthians and Fiorentina around 1985-1986 season. So How about you?what you remember about him?

Socrates was really a good player for Brazil. Unfortunately, I started to follow football only around the 1986 world cup, so really have not seen much of his performances to really comment on it. All I can say is Socrates, Rest in Peace. Cheers! Ram

I have never seen him played before but from what I know, he is one of the best Brazilian to have never won the world cup. RIP.
