Brazil and Italy are the
two most triumphant countries in worldwide soccer, having won a joint nine
World Cups. But it's far from a one-sided series. The Italians have defeated
Brazil in some big matches, including in the semifinals of the 1938 World Cup
in France (which Italy went on to win).Perhaps the best contest between the two
came at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, where Italy defeated Brazil 3-2 in a
thrilling, classic encounter that many observers consider the best game in
World Cup history. In Fifa ranking Brazil is in 18th position with
908 points and Italy standing on Number 5th spot with 1173points.
