"Santos brothers"? I hope you don't mean the National Team's Djalma Santos and Nilton Santos (The Encyclopedia) ; not only they weren't brothers, but they didn't look like brothers, Nilton being white and Djalma being pitch black.

Actually this is one of the few questions I believe I know the answer to - It would be Socrates (from WC '82 and Corinthians) and Rai (from WC '94 and São Paulo).

That was a lousy guess from me:silly:

but Rai was his nephew or brother in law ? not a real brother. am I right this time???

No, sorry. Rai and Socrates are in fact brothers, from a big family of four or five bros, of which Socrates was first (i think) and Rai was the youngest (or something like that). But yes, they are brothers.

and about another of the questions (one of the few I have any clue about...:rolleyes: )
Which player is the second highest scorer for Brazil (after Pele)?

Uhn, is it Zico?
