Brazilian winger dies

Former Brazil winger Jair da Rosa Pinto, better known as Jair, died on Thursday of a lung infection.

Jair was part of the Brazil team that lost the 1950 World Cup final 2-1 to Uruguay at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in front of what is still a world-record crowd for a stadium-based sports event of 199,584.

He died in Rio, his home city, at the age of 84.
