Brazil
Brazil has long been considered the Kings of the Soccer World for their speed, artistry and dominance on the international scene. The Brazilian national soccer team is the most successful country in the world with five FIFA World Cup victories, including the tournament championship in 2002. Known as the Sons of the Desert, Brazil has produced some of the finest teams and players of all time and their current roster is filled with stars like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Robinho and Adriano. In FIFA Street 2 Brazil is the team to beat with four superstars and the legendary Zico having their own signature moves among the Brazilian players available for selection. Street soccer is the soul of soccer in South America and it produces the most creative players with the skills, flare and showmanship that FIFA Street 2 is all about. Brazil's players are always in constant motion and are able to play off of each other at all times, creating beautiful and spontaneous plays throughout a match.
The Stars
Brazilian midfielder Ronaldinho acquired his second FIFA international player of the year award in a row leading his club team FC Barcelona to the top of the Spanish league. He is quite simply the best player in the world today and any team with him on it would be fun to play and watch. Up front Adriano appears to be an unstoppable goal scoring machine. Adriano scored three goals to lift Brazil to its 18th World Cup tournament with a 5-0 win over Chile in a qualifying game last summer. Ronaldo is a task master who shows flashes of brilliance few players can match, while the young superstar Robinho, who began his career with Pele's old club Santos, is the newest Brazilian star with on-the-ball flare and high expectations.
