1-Some Fun Facts here I did not know:I have heard that Texas has THE best pro state soccer team in the US.
2-Perhaps it is because soccer isn't so popular in the US, that their national team always make a fool out of themselves in the World Cup. Like last World Cup, they made so many commercial and ads before the cup to get people fired up, but lost in the Cup. There just isn't enough support.
3-I actually respect all the sports that are popular here in the US (baseball, basketball, football...etc) They all require talent and very hard work.
4- Maradona was a really good player and a bullet. One thing I don't like about him is the image he posed to people/fans with drug use and the fat shape he is in now after retirement.
5-As a Brazilian, I do admit that soccer in Brazil isn't just soccer. It isn't just a sport to make money, soccer, my friend, is a religion of a religion. Anywhere you go, big cities or country side, you will see people playing it. I'll give you an example, when I was there, I was in High School, there was this indoor soccer field that was perhaps half the size of the school itself, I guess that's how important it is.
Not to brag, but Pele was really the best player in the world, an he is still in good shape. He has some organizations that help out kids and even develop/train them to play pro soccer.
And we still have one of the best players in the world: Ronaldinho. The guy is a god when it comes to handling a ball. Amazing at what he does.
There are many more rising stars in the game: Kaka (played in the World Cup), Adriano (also played), Vagner Love (yes that is his last name; plays in Europe somewhere) and Rubinho.
Of course there are many other great players in the world: By Country
Messy- Argentina
Tevez
Zidane Aka Zidane "The HeadButt" lol(retired)
