Nevertheless, Médici was popular, as his term was met with the largest economic growth of any Brazilian President, the Brazilian Miracle unfolded, authored jointly by his liberal ministers ahead of the ''Ministério do Planejamento'' and ''Ministério da Fazenda'' (planning and finances) Roberto Campos and Delfim Netto, and the country won the 1970 Football World Cup.
