Question 127. Who is this?


Brazil
1979-1986
51 Caps
8 Goals


(wikipedia) "... came to international prominence during the World Cup in 1982. In Brazil's first match of the tournament he scored a wonderful, winning goal against the Soviet Union, flicking the ball up and volleying it with blistering power into the net from fully 25 yards. He followed that up with another delightful goal in the 4-1 win over Scotland, when he feigned to shoot powerfully but then just delicately lofted the ball over Scotland's frozen goalie Alan Rough and into the far corner, from the edge of the area. He smashed a beautiful free-kick against the crossbar vs Argentina in the 2nd round group game from 30 yards out and this shot resulted in the first goal scored by Zico. He wasn't the quickest winger in the world but he was athletically built and had dazzling close control, as well as a shot that earned him the nickname "The Cannon" from his devoted fans."
