After working my ass on thousands of rosters, I realized that almost every country has a club where a brazilian plays...
Is there any brazilian playing at your country??? Is he playing well???

In Portugal we are FLOODED with brazilian players... In Porto we have Aloisio (old, but good), Deco (great), Clayton (good, but only in short time spans), Esquerdinha (awful)and Pena (convincing). In the spotlight we also have Zé Roberto (Braga), which is one AMAZING player, Rafael (Paços Ferreira, coming to Porto next season), Rodrigo Fabri, César Prates and André Cruz(Sporting). The others are just average players

That´s true Portugal is flooded with brazilians, in every single team from the different divisions! Every year arrives lots oh them, clubs like Porto and Benfica are bringing even very young players to play on their B teams or on the younger teams! They´re all over!

Alenitchev, Esquerdinha is not so bad! He´s not a superstar, but is very efficient deffending and comparetively with Secretario he´s much better!

Maybe... but I like more seeing Nélson playing as LD than Esquerdinha... but anyway ANYHTING is better than Secretário ;)...

brazil and protugal are almost the same country because they speak the same language so i dont find it suprising that they have lot of brazilians in my country turkey, there is a looot of brazilians also just this week a team named trabzonspor signed about 4-5 brazilians to their team to put in the a and b teams brazilian players come for low prices and they play just incredible!

Can't stop the rush...

Rivaldo(Barca).
But he gets snubbed from the Brazil national team most of the time.

The reason behind so many brazilian players in Portugal are the player's agents. There are brazilian teams who rely completely on agents to sell their players... Corinthians Alagoano has at least 10 players playing or played in the 1ª Liga.

It's easy thing to put brazilian players at portuguese clubs, because most of brazilians have portuguese families (mine is from Ilha da Madeira!), and they can play as naturalized players, without any trouble with passports.

Can't stop the rush...

We have two: Silvinho and Edu at Arsenal!!
Edu's only been with us for 6 months and hasn't really had a first team chance but Silvinho...WOW!!
Just amazing the way he's played this season.
Scored 4 or 5 goals, not bad for a Left Back!
Also was in the FA Carling Premiership Team of the Season!!
But... Best of All... A true honour for any footballer at Arsenal or Crystal Palace... (Drumroll please)... He got his name and number... PRINTED ON MY SHIRT!! WOO WOO WOO!
:) ;) :cool: :p

See, in Brazil we're used to have left and right backs always going forward. I heard that the first time Silvinho did it, the coach almost killed him...

Rafael played also for HJK but moved to Herenveen. We have a lot of Brazilian players in Finland perhaps 10.
