Sad to see the passing of the great Brazilian midfielder and captain, Socrates.
What a great player he was.

Former Brazil captain Socrates, one of the world's greatest midfielders, dies in hospital after an illness.

Oh yes the beautiful game as it should be played.They don't make 'em like that anymore.I've also posted this on the round ball game thread.

Sorry to hear this news. I have good memories of that team.

Very sad. What a team Brazil were at that point in time. As said earlier, that's how football ought to be played.
