About the Picture Slideshow/Slide Show: Cafu, real name Marcos Evangelista de Moraes,born June 7, 1970, is a Brazilian football player, who is currently a defender for Italian giants A.C. Milan. He is the all-time leader in appearances for the Brazilian national team, with 143 as of May 29th, 2006. He has played for two World Cup-winning Brazil sides and in 2002, became the first person to play in the World Cup final three times. Cafu had played sparingly for the Brazilian national side in the early 1990s, but only went to the 1994 World Cup as a squad player. After an injury to Jorginho in the final against Italy, Cafu came on as a substitute in the 22nd minute, forming part of the Brazilian defence in what was a turgid final. Brazil won 3-2 on a penalty shootout after the match finished goalless. After that, Cafu became a regular in the Brazil team, winning the Copa América in 1997 and 1999, and taking the team to the final of the 1998 World Cup Final, which they lost to France. After a rocky qualification tournament, Cafu captained Brazil in the 2002 World Cup after an injury to regular captain Emerson, and helped his side triumph 2-0 over Germany. Cafu is his nickname. He was given this nickname because his style of play was reminiscent of that of Cafuringa, a legendary Brazilian forward who played in the 1970s.
