one thing that is never questioned about the South American Brand is the flair with which the beautiful game is brought to life. Samba steps and a feel for the musical rythm has these latino players brandishing some of the most mind boggling moves on the planet. from 'Step overs' to 'nutmegs' these players attack with passion and not the slightest of hesitation, allowing for a viewing spectacle for the fans and an agonising 90 minutes for defenders.

the brazilians themselves have lifted the world cup title no less than five times and have a squad that sends tremors throug hthe hearts of opposing sides. An attack that can see the likes of Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho and Baptista bombarding goals is something that  brings a smile to the face of any supporter... and scarily they lie fourth in the group!

and while we acknowledge the brilliance of the brazillains over time, the present force on the continent has to lie with their neighbours Argentina. New coach and football Hall-of-famer Maradonna coaches a side with some of the greatest up and coming talent around. Lionel Messi adds a simple elegance to any attack, and the manner in which he has been slicing through opponents will surely have thuis diminutive genius don our shores in little over a year. there are few who can argue that the little maestro is the best player on the planet at the moment.

 

The top 4 teams qualify for the FIFA World Cup™. The 5th placed team enters a home-and-away playoff with the 4th placed team from North,Central America & Caribbean.
