Yup broke it down perfectly… Brazil became known globally through their athletes. This inspires the youngins to become athletes as they have so many that paved the path before them. On top of it being one of only paths out of poverty, low cost of entry, etc.

I'm not even Brazilian but i love Brazilian football. The world is a better place when Brazilian football is thriving.

A factor that's usually missed about Brazil is the fact that it's HUGE. This is the only country with over 200 million people that has football as the national sport. So in addition to everything you brilliantly said in this video, Brazil has a giant pool of talent that inevitably will produce world class players.

Now, if you want to be really surprised, think about Uruguay. No other country in the world has more world classe players per capita.

A lot of factors go into it. Brazil 🇧🇷 is beautiful to watch. Love and respect to Brazil from a Romanian 🇷🇴

I'm Brazilian and I've spent my whole life thinking about this. You summed up my thinking very well. In general, those who play on a futsal field touch the ball 6x more than playing on a football field, and if you touch, you improve.

a big difference is that in brazil you are encouraged to improvise and dribble especially in 1 on 1 situations, where as other coutries want you to play it safe and pass the ball off.... they dont got the sauce like that

Its not just kids in the favela who are obsessed with football. I'm from the upper-middle class and 90% of the kids my age used to play football regularly. If there wasnt a court we'd spread our flip flops on an empty street to create a makeshift goal area, and that's what we would play

Other countries see football as routine. But there is something unique about brazil. The love and passion they have for football is amazing. The fact that many of them come from poor families makes it even more beautiful. They are the joy of the game.

I'm proud brazil team fan since 2006 when i was only 8 years old ( and realmadrid in the club )

There is one major factor that its not in the video: the closeness to Argentina and Uruguay. No, I'm not saying that Brazl has Argentina and Uruguay to thank for their football, or only in the level of competing against this national teams and the clubs, but actually a huge system where players from these 3 countries affect and influence each other constantly. It is known how Rivellino influenced Maradona's style, how Ronaldinho and Maradona absolutely admired each other, Messi being friend of both Ronaldinho and Neymar, and the Suarez, Messi, Neymar trident just to give a few examples. The borders between these 3 countries tend to blur football-wise, and the influences between them all are clear.

Brazilian here. First of all, amazing video, great edits and information. Just a correction. The first football club in Brazil to accept and stand up for blacks and minorities was Vasco da Gama. Vasco literally left their soccer division because they would not remove blacks from their roster as it was demanded by the organization to allow them to compete. They wrote a letter to the main league association explaining they would remove their team from the ranking instead of removing blacks. That letter is known as "A Resposta Historica" (The historic answer") . Cheers!!Subscribed to your channel

I really love their passion for the game. Much love from Nigeria.

Learning about how football arrived in Brazil, it's just incredible how they became so great at this game. The link with their team mates seems telepathic & moves unfold with a liquid beauty that only Argentina can lay claim to having similar powers

[normantaylor]

Brazil needs to prove themselves again, they have not been the same since that 7 to 1 thrashing by Germany.

Love how the passport is side by side with Ronaldinho 0:54

R.I.P Legend King Pelé hvil i fred du ville altid være

[marialuisabastista]

Desde criança, o sonho da maioria dos meninos é se tornar jogador de futebol, algo que raramente acontece, porque você precisa ser o melhor do melhor no brasil, pois nós temos um futebol muito competitivo.

I can't believe i'm typing this but,  
You broke my passive "no comment online rule" without a single sweat. I mean damn man, goosebump everywhere. So much so that I didn't want the video essay to end. 
This is probably because as a Nigerian born and raised London dweller, Every single one of your insightful exploration of the Brazilians unbridled love if not obsessive relationship with footbal deeply resonated with me on a spiritual level. As it is the perfect reflection of Nigerian's love and passion for music, art and fashion. For just like these magnificent Brazilians you just cased studied, Nigerians love if not obsession music(along side art and fashion) isn't even a matter of dreams and passion, instead, it's simply a one way ticket out of what seems like an inevitable life long destitution. Except for the sad reality that theres isn't any true unity and or genuine community built around music, (again, alongside art and fashion) down there in Nigeria. Which to a certain degree is understandable, because music is more subjective than football. bUt even more importantly, the music, art and fashion requires a certain degree of egoism and or selfism if one is to be successful. But still, it touches and resonated with my soul.
Anyways,  I think all I'm trying to say is,
Thanks you for sharing this inspirational work of passion with the world. May you continue to remain blessed all your

Love you Man.
