I dont have anything aigainst Brasilian soccer in fact i think it rocks! But the reason that it rocks is bigause they're a poor country EVERY boy in brasil plays soccer from 9Am in the morning to 10Pm in the evening. Soccer is they're life they dont have anything but dreams on how they will ones be like Ronaldo and Romario earning millions of dollars. So it would almost be IMPOSSIBLE that Europe could even compete with brasil, but it seems we can or can't we ?

I dont beleive in what ifs, what is, is what is. Using your argument the americans can say their best athletes play football(american), basketball, baseball and hockey. And if they didnt have those other sports to distract their athletes they would be the best at football(soccer).(Maybe they would, and maybe europe would be better too if they were all poor but that is not reality). All i have got to say is SCOREBOARD right now Brasil is the best. They might not be 10 years from now but right now they are the best PERIOD.

Look at Russia, they are really poor.
You don't see Russia winning the world cup or producing masses of unbelievably skillful players.
Football is a way of life in Brazil.
They don't just play it because they are poor.
They play because they enjoy it.

I think it is not right. East European contry are poor and dind't make more great player.

Soccer in Brazil is like:
The Basketball + Baseaball + American Football in USA.
Arrogancy in Engalnd (joke!)

It is what we talk with friends, with boss...

It is more then just a game, for some it is life (i disagree). But you see it in Italy and Spanish too.

I just don't know what make Brazil so good... and I think no one knows, if they know there will be others 4 WC Champion.

ps: When I talk about it I am not counting Italy and Germany, they too have their magic about football.
