Why Brazil or Argentina craze?

[BalamG]

Actually most of the football supporters are crazy with brazil and argentina during World Cup? What is the suitable reason for this?The majority of their players play in Italian or Spanish Leagues or their own home leagues which is seen rare in sports channel. English premier league is mostly in the lead, yet why support Brazil or Argentina?

[Preaetorian4931]

Because South American's tend to play good football but they also get results. Both clubs are in the top 3 in the world (Brazil 3 and Argentina 1). If you look at each squad you will find some big name players who can play entertaining football.

The English Premier League doesn't relate to how good England is. Look at the number of England players in the top four teams. There are hardly any which is why many of the players are bought from overseas which is why they're successful.

DUH do leagues participate in spanish and italians leagues ? no senor
the world cup is the IT in soccer, where all the famous players go back home to play for the team so like you said most players in europe if not european are argentian and brazilian so thats why ppl are crazy about them and they are good, famous, had maradona and pele and made history in soccer. what do u expect ?

The classical idols are Diego Maradonna (Argentina) and Pele(Brazil). Most people have a large influence of the news which comes to them about the football matters in the history. So many support these two teams (even people who dont even understand football). The top 4 teams of the English League doesn't have the majority of football players from their country, most are brought from outside England.

Yes, I myself for one, look forward to watching them play. There are a few reasons for this. The teams in Europe has a more tactical and strategical approach to football. But for Brazil and Argentina, their strategy has always been the same, attack is the best form of defence.

European teams will try to get a 1 or 2 goal lead and then take it easy and rest their important players (most of the times). But if you watch Brazil and Argentina take the lead, you will know the difference. Once they have taken a comfortable lead, it is showtime for their players. They will try some audacious skills or play style. This is an absolute joy to watch of you love football.

The players selected are also quite different compared to Europe. In Europe, each team only selects one to two of those flair players. England: Joe Cole, Germany: Shwansteiger, Spain: Jaoquin, Italy: hmmm....Del Piero if he was selected.

But look at the Brazilian and Argentine squad. Brazil: Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho, Diego, Ronaldo. Argentina: Messi, Maxi Rodriguez, Aguerro. There are actually even more players, and I am sorry if I didn't list all of them. But this is what makes them a joy to watch when they are attacking.

Although the European games is about my tactic versus your tactic, the South Americans, especially Brazil is more about your tactics versus my attacking flair.

Haha if you still don't understand, than just watch them play during the World Cup. Trust me, by then you should be able to appreciate what these two teams bring to the International fray. Enjoy football because it is a way of life!
