Soccer in Brazil (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)
Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Wednesday, October 06, 2004 at 01:31:11 AM EST.
Soccer in Brazil was influenced by our culture and our Samba. Soccer, for us, is a combination of these two arts.
The greatest soccer players in our country started to play in poor and bad conditions. They trained a lot and, today, Brazil is the best country at soccer. Pelé, Garrincha, Zico and others were considered the best in the world.
For the Brazilians, soccer is not just a sport, it’s a religion and makes much difference in our culture. Soccer is a way we use to express our feelings to express our emotions. For example, when our team loses a game we will probably be sad the following day.
Soccer is the most famous sport in the world and it is also very popular everywhere. Because of that, our talent is always shown to other countries and to the rest of the world.
