And yes I know exactly how passionate Brasilians are, I have been to games involving Brasil in the past I know only too wlel. When did i say they weren't? I know Brasil produces some of the best footballers on the planet but does that mean they have a top leage? The answer to that question is NO.
The reason being for that is because the lack of finance and the number of clubs who are in the red and so close to going under. The players grow up in poor family's and not only do they see football as their passion but it could make their family's life so much better. Why do you think there are so many Brasilians playing in Portugal? The reason beiong is that the smaller Portugese clubs are always looking for cheap talent, and they cnanot afford ot look elsewhere. And from the Brasilian point of view, they just want to get to Europe as fast as they can. That is why the talent is going out of the Brasilian league and that is why it is not one of the best teams in the world.
And lmfao mate. Why the hell do you think Wigan got into the Premiership? Do you think they did it by playing samba Brasilian style football? No. The answer is they got stuck and played hard. So how can you say they are worse than one of these hardnut championship teams.
If I were you i would keep my mouth shut on this topic, you are digging your hole deeper. |
Yes, a team like that is worse then a team like Liverpool, and a Brazilian team like Sao Paulo or a lot more for that matter could last a day in the EPL.
And when you say there are so many Brazilians playing in portugal? That is also wrong. You think I don't know about the lack of finance of clubs in Brazil? I've been saying that for the past million posts. And yes, people in North America do know about that situation, for all your criticism of us, some of us are in many ways simalar to your "hardcore fans" of England. it's not our fault are parents came here to live a better life, we bring the passion of the game here. In my community, if you came up to someone and asked about this ***** they would know probably almost as much as you do.
Also, I lived in Brazil for over 10 years. I played in my bare feet with a bunch of towels packed together for many years when I was young. It wasn't until when I was 6 until my parents finally bought me a ball. And still then, I barely ever used it because I loved it so much. I do not have this ball today because I gave it to my very good friend before I left. So when you say all this shit about Americans, you need to actually live in our shoes for a day. There will come a day when Soccer is one of the first sports, and in many places and communities it already is.
