Brazil- The Country of football
Although Brazil was eliminated in the first round of the 1930 World Cup, the team's outstanding player, Preguinho, shocked the audience with his bright and exciting style of play. Gradually, football became the passion of the Brazilian people, who often call their country "o Pais do Futebol" (football country). Football is the most popular sport in the country and the Brazilians are very enthusiastic fans.
