What do you people think of Brazilian football.?

alot of brazilians are not very wealthy and tend to grow up with football as a major part of their life, aside from that they do often express themselves in the game with exstravagant skills and all sorts. take neymar, carlos eduardo, and ronaldinho for example they always put a smile on my face when they play old skool with triky feet and stuff

European football is the best, why do u think they all go to europe to play

I think four reasons may suit your question.. >The most palatable excuse. For the last twoyears or so, Brazil has been stripped of many of its great footballing theatres, closed for rebuilding work in preparation for the 2014 World Cup. The Maracanã in Rio, Belo Horizonte’s Mineirão, Salvador’s Fonte Nova, and Fortaleza’s Castelão have all been closed, meaning that nine clubs have had to seek alternative accommodation. Palmeiras have also been made homeless while the new Arena Palestra Itália is being built. Perhaps the worst hit have been the two Belo Horizonte teams, Atlético and Cruzeiro, who have had to stage their home games 70km from the city in Sete Lagoas. As a result, Atlético’s average crowd fell from 38,000 in 2009 to 14,000 last year. Goodnews came recently with the reopening of another stadium in Belo Horizonte, the Indêpendencia, and both clubs recently played their first games back in their home town in front of boisterous crowds... >When clubs celebrated signing fat new individually negotiated TV contracts last year, only a few lonely voices protested about theeffect that live televising of games is having on attendances. Local blackouts generally apply togames broadcast on the big terrestrial and cable networks, but the cable TV companies also offer a not particularly expensive pay-per-view service, which broadcasts every single Serie A or B game without restrictions. What this means is that while stadiums sit empty, bars and restaurants across the city are packed with fans watching the game on TV... >A curiously Brazilian issue, this one. The Brasileiro only adopted a straightleague system, with clubs playingeach other home and away, in 2003. Prior to that, the championship’s structure changed frequently, but always involved an extensive final knockout stage to decide the winner. To a certain extent the Brazilian footballing mind retainsthis mentality – while everybody knows that three points in the early going are just as important as three points at the end, no one really believes that they are, because titles are traditionally decided at the season finale. Thisresults in particularly tiny crowdsat the start of the year... >As in most footballing cultures where fan violence is an issue, the problem in Brazil is probably not as widespread as often portrayed, but at the same time, it’s bad enough. The deaths of a number of fans around football stadiums in Goiania, São Paulo and Recife this year reopened the debate onthe notorious torcida organizadas , and the groups were banned in a number of cities. However, while the pitchedbattles (and occasional murder) that can occur before and after clássicos are a stain on the game,they are also a product of the violence in wider Brazilian society. And while intimidating, the risk of personal injury to a fan not actively seeking trouble isminimal...
