In times of the World Cup, let's talk a little about this sport. The world stops to cheer for its country or favorite team every four years. Can we affirm that soccer brings itself cultural elements?

Soccer emerged in England in the mid-nineteenth century and arrived in Brazil by the hands, or feet, of Anglo-Brazilian Charles Miller in 1894 and soon fell into popular taste. Initially, in England and Brazil, the aristocracy played the sport, and the soccer fields were, therefore, a place of the social elite. As time went by, soccer slowly managed to break the barriers of social and racial prejudice and became popular in Brazil, taking on a more competitive tone and winning over an ever larger audience.

Among the poorer populations, they played soccer, where cattle pasture fields became the playing fields. The ball was improvised and made of oxen bladders because the real ball was costly and had to be imported from the UK.

Taking Brazilian soccer as a reference, which particular characteristic is the miscegenation of people and is also a characteristic of the Brazilian people to this day, and Because it is a democratic game played by the rich and poor, this sport is part of Brazilian culture. In each World Cup, Brazilians stop to cheer for their country.

Brazil is the five-time world champion and has players known worldwide for their talent, especially for their familiarity with the ball, as if it were part of their body, such is the athlete's intimacy with the sport. Among so many stars, we can cite Pelé, Garrincha, Ronaldo, Romário, Neymar, and Richardson, among so many other athletes that make our hearts flutter with every movement of the net when they score the so dreamed goal.
