After playing soccer in Brazil for three days, I have started to see a little bit of what Brazilian soccer is all about.
They play soccer fast. They run, dribble, and pass fast. There style is to move the ball quickly in order to find an opening to the goal. If one opening closes they move the ball around to find a new one keeping position of the ball. The Brazilian style of playing soccer is also about having fun playing a game they all love. When we played the abc soccer club, all the other teams from the club were there to watch and also practice. Kids cheered from a nearby parking ramp and construction workers stopped to watch. Soccer is the only sport in Brazil, everything else is a game. When you go to the mall soccer stores replace sports stores. Because soccer is the only sport, then soccer is the only way for some kids to find a way out of poverty. The children in Brazil play soccer for fun, but also with a purpose.
