Adrian,
It's all cultural matter. the way brazilians are....we are free, do whatever you want....and that's what we do on the pitch.
We dance, we smile, etc..
Natalya, I love Samba, and that's another reason for our greatness, it makes every Brazilian learn how to control the pace of the feet, to turn it back and forth, and that's the basic of the dribble, learn how to control you feet while turning and on speed. If you see the samba dance , you will notice the same similarity to a Brazilian dribble. Also the pace of the game, is totally laid back, we can change the pace of a game just like of the samba beat, from fast to slow and vice versa.
Jan A, good thought, but your wrong on that one......it's not about population , it's about culture, otherwise China would be the best of the world, and football is the number one sport their, and they were the first ones to play it back in Zillions of years ago. But many people do think is that but it is not.
Also, you can notice, why do an average Brazilians have vision and loads of skill, while a average hispanic has not? I know a lot about the hispanic, as i play with many of them every week, and they are totally blind on a football pitch, even the skillfull ones have not got a clue about tactics or game plan....while an average Brazilian has.
Also another thing, is that in Brazil you got many big clubs, and a win or a lost you will be teased to death, as Brazilians love to tease each other and make fun of people, more than in britain natalya
When we lost the 98 WC, i stayed about 3 weeks without going to the British puc down the road, when I got their, these Scots went out to the car park to make fun of me, just in the revenge for what i gave them during the WC
I was pointing the fifth star all over them!
Another thing we are multiraced, we mixed up 3 races, the white, south american indian and the black, so that makes our bodies more elastic i suppose, and got good and bad aspects of all the 3 races and put into the own brazilian identity!
Guess i explained, anyway adriaan go to the webstite
www.uol.com.br/bbbola and read some poems on Brazilian football, they got text in englsh and in french which will be good for you! In Brazil football is not a sport is ART abd FOLCLORE!
