Great expectations Brazil are the best team in the world but pressure weighs heavily on players

Football is a whole world in itself, a democratic sport that brings some feelings that are impossible to describe to people who do not follow it. Within football there are also things that are passed down from generation to generation, just like in a country in the real world.

Each great football country has its own characteristic, its own way of seeing football and that, in turn, forms how football is being played in that country, how a national team relate to their supporters, how the media analyses the games and much more. But one thing is for sure: it does not matter how long football has been around, no one in any country will ever understand football 100%. There is always something new to teach us, in every single country, no matter how good or poor or passionate.

Despite the many differences between these countries, there are many similarities. All of the great nations play to win the World Cup and all want nothing more than to lift the trophy in front of their fans. The funny thing with football is there can be only one winner - but that does not mean the losing finalists or a team that have gone out in the semi-finals have done something wrong. They may have done everything in their powers but not had the necessary quality.

For a football team to be successful, just as in a developed society, its people - ie, players - have to work together to achieve something special. In real life people need to collaborate to evolve. That goes for every country. But in Brazil we have something different that I cannot see in other countries.
