1970 mexico.\nThe 1970 Football World Cup was held in Mexico, from May 31 to June 21. The decision was made by FIFA in October 1964 in Tokyo, Japan, with Mexico beating out Argentina's bid to organize the event. Two years later Argentina was chosen to celebrate the 1978 FIFA World Cup. The 1970 World Cup was won by Brazil, who beat Italy 4-1 in the final. This tournament saw the return of free-flowing, attacking play after the physical battles of 1962 and 1966, and is still considered by many fans to be the finest World Cup in history. Not a single red card was issued in the competition. The Brazilian team, featuring Pelé (who was in his fourth and final World Cup), Jairzinho, Rivelino and Tostão, is often regarded as the greatest team ever.

You want a list?\n1. The 1970 FIFA World Cup passed without a single player being sent off\n2. Pelé returned after vowing never to play in another FIFA World Cup and Brazil won the Jules Rimet trophy outright with a near-perfect team including Clodoaldo, Gerson, Rivelino, Tostao, Jairzinho, Pelé and Carlos Alberto.\n3. Brazil won for the 3rd time and "kept" the Jules Rimet trophy\n4. Italy had beaten West Germany 4-3 in an astonishing semi-final, the only match in FIFA World Cup history to have produced five goals in extra time.\n5. Jairzinho becoming the only player to have scored in every match\n\nEnough?

>>> Top scorer in ALL WC ever:\n\nMost goals scored: Gerd Müller (West Germany 1970-1974), 14 \n\nMüller scored 68 goals in 62 games for Germany. His career in the national team started in 1966 and ended on July 7, 1974 with the win of the World Cup at his home stadium in Munich. He scored the winning goal for the 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the final. His 4 goals in that tournament and his 10 goals at the 1970 World Cup combined make him the most successful World Cup striker to date. Müller also participated in the 1972 European Championship, becoming top scorer with 4 goals and winning the Championship with the German team.\n\n\n>>> Top scorer in ONE WC:\n\nJust Fontaine (born August 18, 1933 in Marrakech, Morocco) was a French football player. He holds the all-time record for goals scored in a single World Cup finals, with 13 in 1958.\n\nWearing the blue shirt of France, Fontaine's statistics are even more impressive. On his debut with the team on December 17, 1953, Fontaine scored a hat trick as France drubbed Luxembourg 8-0. In seven years, he scored 30 goals in 21 matches for the national team. However, Fontaine will best be remembered for his 1958 World Cup performance, where he scored 13 goals in just 6 matches, including putting 4 past the West Germans. This tally secured him the Golden Boot for that tournament, and his total of 13 remains the greatest number of goals scored in a single World Cup tournament.

Pele's 1970 team won the world cup without losing a single game and they scored tons of goals on their way, including a 4-1 thrashing of Italy in final. That team is widely considered as best ever. This brazilian team has to win the wc first to be even considered for comparison

That was ITALY, losing 4-1, probably one of the greatest World Cup final of all time. BRAZIL's winning team of 1970 was one of the greatest squad led by you know who.....Pele.
