Talk:Carlos Alberto Torres

Untitled

I removed this passage because it's not true:

Carlos Alberto was the first mulatto (mixed race) to play for Fluminese. Alberto used to whiten his face with rice powder when he used to play. As the make-up started to come off the opposing fans started to chant "rice powder", which became, and still is the club's nickname.

This incident happened in 1914, and it was a different Carlos Alberto. /dylan 167.206.188.3 22:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

National career - 1970 World Cup

"...Perhaps his greatest feat was when he captained Brazil in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico to an impressive victory over Italy. This legendary squad also included Clodoaldo, Gérson, Jairzinho, Roberto Rivelino, Tostão and Pelé. This team scored one of the most memorable team goals against Italy in the final, with Carlos Alberto sauntering down the right wing unmarked to score the fourth goal in their 4-1 defeat of Italy. Carlos Alberto's goal against Italy[1] in the final of the Football World Cup 1970 is considered one of the greatest goals ever scored in the history of the tournament."

This is a lame paragraph. Italy is mentioned 4 times - but it's all about the same game. I would suggest this instead:

"...Perhaps his greatest feat was when he captained Brazil in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. This legendary squad also included Clodoaldo, Gérson, Jairzinho, Roberto Rivelino, Tostão and Pelé.
