Cafu, the Brazilian right-back, won 2 World Cups with the Brazilian national team. He played in 4 World Cups for Brazil and was instrumental in their triumphs in 1994 and 2002. Like a typical Brazilian full-back, Cafu was comfortable going forward and delivering crosses. However, he was quite adept at doing his defensive duties as well.
Cafu broke into the Brazil National team in the early 1990s and made his mark in the 1994 World Cup triumph. Brazil again reached the World Cup final in 1998 but lost to France to finish runners-up. In 2002, Cafu became one of the most decorated players in international football when he lifted the World Cup trophy again as the captain of Brazil.
