Roberto Rivelino

Am I the only one who thinks that he's one of the most overlooked players in world football? For me he's one of the best players ever, instrumental in Brazil's win of the 1970 World Cup even though he was playing out of position. You could argue that he did more than Pelé in that tournament but he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Apparently he created the flip flap skill move, if thats true then

Wouldn't go so far since most people only know about him b/c of the 1970 WC, and probably haven't seen him play. I myself only really know him as a very good player.

just checked the Classic XI squads and he's there!
rated 94 as well and he does have amazing dribbling and shooting stats as he should

Apparently some Japanese guy in his youth team at Corinthians invented the elastico, but it was Rivelino who perfected it.

There's a Classic XI preloaded on FIFA 12? How do you access it?

Go onto the "Rest of the World" bit and they should be at the end of the teams.

Cool. Thanks.

Not sure if serious

Classic XI has been on FIFA for years.

Didn't some Brazilian say Rivelino was better than Maradona?

I know, but I don't remember seeing it when I went through ROTW, so I thought you had to complete some sort of task to get it or something.
