They come from the poor upbringings because of their heartbreak and struggle.Football is their escape from the slums and ghettos and into lengendary status look at Pele;He grew up in the slums of Minas Gerais and became the most beloved Football legend in Brasil and throughout the world.The reason why the are brought up like that because they need to be tough, strong,and resilient and have style.That is why Brasil is the most celebrated team in football.Don't belive me ask a Brasilero or Brasilera.

Because until some years ago just poor young boys was interested in play soccer, they didn't have chance to go to university. The rich ones had to study in good colleges, where they learned more sofisticated sports.
But it have been changed. Two famos brazilian soccer players came from high society, they are Leonardo (he played in Japan) and Raà ( Paris Saint German).

Well Brasil is a third world country, so poverty is very high there, in Brasil your either filthy rich or very poor, there's no in between, most of the greatest legends of the game from Brasil were very poor, so i think that motivates them more then anything, cause it's there chance to do something with there life instead of wasting it, so many players have done it, so many Brasilians know they can do it, and that's why there so competitive, and you wonder why Brasil produces so many talented and skilled players....

Soccer is a game that does not need any gear. For tennis you have to buy the racket. for hockey you have to buy the whole gear. Soccer, all you need is one ball for 22 people. Yuo can paly it on the streets without any expensive Gym enrolment.
Besides soccer is the best way to have fun with out having to spend a penny. I don't think they play because of money. They play for fun, the mone comes later.

Overall players who come from a poor background are more determined thus brazils great team. A guy who is poor will often try much harder and persevere

OK, I will try to answer your question but make it fun(not funny)too. The reason is as poor kids can not afforded to get their own toys, so they get together and shared one ball, and also following theirs ancestors' tradition, OK...have fun my friends! I really love Brazilian footballers, they are great.

Cause when everyother aspect of your life is so dificult, soccer becomes your only outlet! So you excel! It distracts you from a harsh reality...And it'd the only place in Brasilian society that poor and rich are treated equally!
