Description

Football is the sport of choice of Brazil. Since losing the World Cup on home soil in 1950, the nation made a vow to become the most successful in the history of international football, and their passion and intensity for glory has not waned, despite winning the World Cup on five separate occasions, in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. Their most famous players are a who's who of some of the greatest ever; from the fantastic team of Vava, Pele and Garrincha, through to Rivelino and Jairzinho. Romario was the superstar of 1994, while Ronaldo's eight goals in 2002 made him the hero of the World Cup in Japan & South Korea. Their current stars include Phillipe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Neymar. Brazilian domestic football has been typified in recent years by players leaving for Europe at a younger and younger age, decreasing the standard of the local competition. But there are Brazilian players competing in virtually every league in the world, and their heritage for thrilling attacking football makes them one of the most beloved sides.
