  3. How many of you have actually SEEN this game?! I just did, it's on YouTube, and there's really no need for all the big words here. It's a boring game for the first half hour, with both teams having only 1 chance, Liverpool missing theirs and Flamengo scoring. Then there's a lucky free kick, 2-0 and that's game over. Nothing spectacular.

    A week after this game, Liverpool lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City. It doesn't say all that much.

    Not nothing. Sure they wanted to win it, but its a stone fact that most people in Europe never even knew the intercontinental cup existed. It was a non event here and a chore for the players.

    Don't take it as an insult, Flamengo were clearly the best team in the world in 1981 and good enough to beat Liverpool in any context.

    I was just giving a broad warning about putting too much importance on intercontinental cup results in general.

  5. I hate people who say Toyota cup was nothing.It was an special trophy,They gave the Toyota cup and the Intercontinental cup ,which was established in 1960.the most important thing.The Toyota cup was an international title recognised by Fifa.
    So dont tell me it was an waste.Once on the pitch both teams wanted to win.You dont travel to Tokyo ,and then pretend you dont care.Its a shame they dont play it anymore.since 2005 every final has been european south american at fifa club world cup.

  7. @supersonic…
    what am i smoking? obviously nothing as potent as what you are, coz you seem off your face! when you come back down to earth you will find lfc are, with five euro cups and three uefas are easily the third most succesful club in european history, and thats saying nothing of their domestic succes. any chance of your dealers number?

    Brasil sempre!!!

    Grande time com Zico mostrando que o Liverpool sempre foi fregues de brasileiro
    Um dos maiores times de todos os tempos Flamengo- 81

    Esses são os verdadeiros clubes do pais
    São Paulo, Palmeiras, Santos, Gremio, Inter, Cruzeiro, Flamengo e Vasco

    O resto nem conta

  9. Well.. you have teams with limitless purchasing power and can purchase players from all corners of the world to make your team great. Means a lot for our teams from South America beating these "power house" Euro teams bc we beat you with our talent. Not with our wallets.

    Yeah, I bring it up because Manchester United are currently the only British team that has won a World title and still do well in their season

    2008-09 for example, Manchester United won the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup and still won the League, the Carling Cup, went to the semifinals in the FA Cup and were runners-up to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.

    It's all about going for all major honors.

    Sure, past English winners either lose or decline to play the Toyota Cup, but only one has actually played in it and won the trophy: Manchester United.

  13. @JustOneWanderer

    You're just pissed off and keep saying the old Toyota Cup is a friendly because Liverpool has yet to win an ACTUAL world title.

    In fact, there's only one British team that has an ACTUAL world title whether it's the Toyota Cup or the FIFA Club World Cup and that's Manchester United who have two world titles.

    So until Liverpool beats teams outside of Europe and wins ACTUAL world titles, you're just champions of Europe.

  15. lol Zico owned Liverpool.

    That particular Flamengo team really was the best in the world, but South Americans would do well to remember always that Europeans care nothing for the intercontinental cup. It means less than the charity shield to English people.
    Its a nothing match they play under protest so you shouldn't gloat lol.

    Still a great vid though, Zico was the best.

  16. Props to MoeRocco for saying what others don't want to say.

    Torneio de verão? Que eu conheço, só tem um, que é o torneio vencido pelo Corinthians sobre nossos eternos freguês. 🙂

  17. Im a Liverpool supporter and have been since childhood. Liverpool are a legendary club, and were consistently the best side in Europe in that era. However against Flamengo they met their match. Even for Liverpool the Brazilians were a step up in quality. They had Zico for heavens sake! My Liverpool were good but
    Flamengo were better.

  20. not treated like a world club championship??well, take a look at FIFA's website…Flamengo has a World Club Championship title, from 1981….
    Excuses, excuses….
    no wonder why Brazil has the most World Cup titles…they have the best soccer players, and most of the times, when a brazilian team face a european team in the World Championship match, the brazilians win, like Internacional and Barcelona…

  23. Since when was the Toyota Cup anything like the World Cup? Face it, it's a cup we hardly care about, Liverpool even sacked it off twice in the '70s, as did Nottingham Forest.

  24. If it was such a waste, you shouldn't have gone at all. Also, last time I checked, England is closer to Toyko than Brasil is. Your point about traveling halfway around the world is moot. There is no shame in losing, you lost to one of the best South American teams ever assembled.
