La lucha continua! Muy bien!

I will watch with interest as it's a period close to my heart.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Nice! Certainly a different setting and period than most 80s conflicts...

Here's a quick primer  Jim.



Oh and btw back in the 80s old Daffyd would have probably been part of that gaming scenario.  ;)

Now just get yerself a bucket hat and a shirt and you'll be good to go.  lol
