My first World Cup was Spain 1982 (can’t believe it’s been 32 years!).<\/p>\n

At\u00a0 that World Cup, BRASIL under Tele Santana won my heart. One of the best soccer team ever assembled.<\/p>\n

As a 9-yr-old boy who played soccer in the backyard, I was fascinated by reading newspaper article that portrayed Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Eder, Cerezo as football’s great artists. And from TVRI, I was simply amazed by how the Brasilian played.<\/p>\n

\"one<\/a>

one of two best teams ever (the other one is Wenger’s Unbeaten Arsenal 2003\/4)<\/p><\/div>\n

Eder’s long range goal, was cemented in my memory. Just before I wrote this article, I test memory by You-Tube-ing that particular goal. And, amazingly, it’s just as what it’s been in my memory for 32 years!<\/p>\n

I remember exactly, during that World Cup, because of time difference, the last-night result was publish the day after. Therefore, after school, I kept searching\/tuning the radio in SW band to listen the result of World Cup from foreign radio. Trying to get the result ahead of reading from newspaper.<\/p>\n

After qualified from First Round, Brasil was put in a death-group with Argentina and Italy. Brasil beat Argentina, and only needed draw with Italy to qualify. But luck favored Italy. A man called Paolo Rossi scored hattrick against Brasil. Brasil lost 3-2 in one of the best World Cup games ever.<\/p>\n

That’s my first World Cup!<\/p>\n
