England may have set the rules, but many people argue that the game’s spiritual home is Brazil. The South American country is home to the world’s most successful and admired national team. Famous for their free-flowing, elegant style, often referred to as “samba soccer,” the Brazilians have carried home the World Cup trophy no fewer than four times. Despite some poor results recently, it would be foolish to dismiss Brazil’s chances in World Cup 2002.
英國人也許制定了足球的規(guī)則，但許多人認(rèn)為足球靈魂的故鄉(xiāng)是巴西。這個(gè)南美洲國家是全世界最成功、最為人欣賞的球隊(duì)的家鄉(xiāng)。巴西人以自由、文雅的踢球風(fēng)格聞名，常被認(rèn)為是“桑巴足球”，他們抱回世界杯的獎(jiǎng)杯足足有四次。盡管近年來戰(zhàn)績有些不太好，但小看巴西隊(duì)在2002年世界杯足球賽的獲勝機(jī)會(huì)是愚蠢的。
