Argentina vs. Brazil: Playing out the Rivalry in 8 Matches

The footballing rivalry between Brazil and Argentina is famous the world over, with the South American countries’ fierce hatred of defeat clear at all levels of competition. It is a matter of pride for both nations. Traditionally, with the exception of brief periods when Uruguay have stepped up to the top level of international football, the duo have divided up South American honours among themselves... 

Why Retiring Deco Was the One That Got Away for Brazil

For a number of years, Brazil has regularly seen players leave for pastures new and, in the knowledge that they will be unlikely to ever represent the selecao, pull on the shirt of their adopted country at international level. It is rarely a problem that overly concerns Brazilian fans and authorities. After all, there is such enormous depth to the ranks of selecao hopefuls that the loss of an Eduardo... 

Assessing Neymar’s Contribution for Brazil vs. Switzerland

How much can we really learn from Brazil’s 1-0 defeat to Switzerland? Given the stage of the season and lack of preparation time, the answer has to be very little.

How Luis Felipe Scolari Made Brazil Look Like World Cup Winners Again

When Brazil headed into the Confederations Cup in June, there were very few people predicting any chance of success for the Selecao.

Brazil Football: Stars with a Point to Prove Against Switzerland on Wednesday

Brazil’s Confederations Cup-winning squad meet up this week to take on Switzerland in Basel on Wednesday, and many team members will do so with the knowledge that their individual places at the World Cup next year are still far from secure. While the side’s triumph earlier this summer was a magnificent achievement, coming off the back of a poor run of form, there is no doubting that there... 

5 Next-Generation Brazilians Ready to Shine This Season

Are Brazilian Players Overvalued in the Transfer Market?

Brazil has provided the world with some of the best footballers ever to have played the game, and, naturally, the transfer fees that some are able to command reflect their place at the top of the game. This summer, for instance, we have seen the brightest light of Brazilian football, Neymar, make the switch to European football for a phenomenal fee of €57 million, per Goal. Was he overpriced... 

Brazilian Stars Who Could Yet Make a European Switch This Summer

There is around one month left of the European transfer window, with clubs looking to complete their squads ahead of the coming campaign. For Brazilian sides, though, that opportunity has passed. They can no longer recruit players from outside of Brazil and, thus, they will now be very cautious about selling their assets. Some clubs, though, will find themselves unable to resist offers, while others...
