OK thanks for the explanation.

Still, many countries has the same amount of football-energy deployed in several demographic layers, rich an dpoor contries, all over the planet, so, well, I'm thinking, the artistic stuff that you guys are world known for, is not really being seen yet, in any other place. Is it?

On every school you will have to play Soccer on the physical education classes, from kid to teenager.

Almost all the "dad"s here incentivate their sons to chose a team, to watch games, to play soccer, and almost every kid goes to a "kid soccer school" where you play soccer with other kids with an adult being the referee (even poor kid's, cause there are always a free soccer school for poor kid's being runned by the governament or from some retired soccer played)

Many poor kid's see in soccer a chance to became rich and famous.

Almost any sport club arround here have a soccer field.
Every beach have soccer goals.
Also, soccers kind of works like an opium of the poor people. Something like: "Hey, your kids dont have any food, but who cares your team just won the cup."

Everywhere that you go there will be a kid with a ball. Parent's usualy give soccer balls to their kid's arround here, it is a cheap present and the kid will have fun for hours.

Brazil Vs Holland

Interesting game at all. Both teams preffered the attacking style-attractive football throughout the history and now they both play cautious in this tourney like nearly all other teams.

As a matter of fact, there are 3 teams in this tourney who roughly play a 4-2-3-1 formation which are Brasil, Germany and Spain. Germany seems to be the most effective team on this system however, its for sure that Brasil-Holland game will be very interesting game especially if one of them scores early in the game.

Brasil has a very talented squad which is capable of creating chances nearly out of nothing but Netherlands is playing a very systematic and cautious passing system which may slow down or tire out the Brasilian midfielders. Again, if one them scores early, it will be a fantastic game to watch.

Lets hope the best team wins!

WTF?





About the core of brazilian SOCCER, though, I must say, I prefer Handball and Volleyball over soccer, but anyone can play soccer (not very well, ie. me).

But I was born in Boston, so that might be a reason.
