ROHITH AND ABDUL

1. BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL

2. THE START
Charles Miller introduced football to Sao Paulo
Athletic Club in 1892 he would have had no
idea just how much the sport would become an
important part of everyday life. There are very
few places where football is so passionately
supported than Brazil. It is said that when Brazil
lost to Uruguay in the final of the 1950 World
Cup the entire nation mourned. The heartbreak
was so much that a name was created for the
disaster (the “Maracanazo”) in much the same
way as an earthquake or hurricane might be
titled.

4. NOW THE TEAM
Brazil currently stand as the most successful
country in football history. They have won the
World Cup five times (in 1958, 1962, 1970,
1994 and 2002), one more than Italy and are
only one of five countries to have won it more
than once, and one of eight to have ever won
it at all. Their players have won the Ballon
D’Or six times in the past 15 years and the
World Player of the Year eight times in its 19
years of existence. That’s more than any other
country.

9. Dani Alves
Dani Alves is a great
footballer and also a
legend. What I mean
by that is he fought
against racism in a
way. A person from
the crowd threw a
banana to the field,he
saw the banana and
took it and ate it and
carried on playing.
And other famous
people supported
him by posting pics
on social apps like
facebook and
instagram.
