Excellent list. I’m beginning to learn more about really old players because of HITC sevens but this was also quite enlightening.

It's sad we never had a world cup in the 40s. Really really sad 😔. The world missed

This is the era of "La Maquina"

I totally agree with you, River had one of the strongest teams in that time ( they won a lot of Copas America wich is similar to the eurocup) and they were talented enough to win the wc for the argentinian national team if they were given the chance to play it.

There is a error in Pedernera information. He won de Argentine League and doesn't Carioca tournament.

First of all, thanks for very interesting video! But. Who made this positioning? What the heck? Valentino Mazzola and Zizinho were always playing as an inside forwards: Valentino as a left inside and Ziza as a right inside attackers respectively. They have never played as a half-backs! Need half-backs from 1940th? Pick Varela, Danilo and Nestor Rossi - the three very best ones from that era

I love your content about classic players

Argentina were the BEST team in the 1940s BY FAR. They would have won the '42 and '46 world cups if they had been organized.

The Swedish team of the late 40s also deserve a mention. Phenomenal

There should have been a match between River Plate and Torino in the 40s. What a classic it would have been?

He put in, but not the starter, but honestly he could very easily be a starter in that team, he was by far the best player of his time, just see two of his only plays filmed and I saw right away that he was way ahead for his time , at least compared to the plays of the players in the video, it seemed to me much better, not to mention that it had the best stats…the only difference is that a player in England has 10 times more media making a third than a player in Portugal

Pelé always said that Zizinho was the best player he ever saw

Very good content

Liddell was good but him over Loustau and Praest at OL is baffling to me 🤨🤧
