Since then, the Brazilian national team have produced incredible players including Ronaldo de Lima who dominated the game in the 90s and early 2000s.

In the top 10 best players from Brazil ranked by FourFourTwo, it is notable to see that Bebeto who inspired the squad to World Cup glory in 1994 missed out.
