Some international football teams have been more successful than some others. Follow along as we take a short look at just a few of the leading footballing places in the world.
When you think of countries that love soccer, it's somewhat hard to think about a place more passionate about the game than the team that is Brazil. In fact, this South American nation is considered one of greatest teams of all time, if not the very best. No other country has claimed more world cups than them, and they are usually considered the favourite to triumph before any competition starts. When you consider football in Brazil, you think about style and flair. Genuinely gifted footballers appear to dance with the ball at their feet, which makes it not only enjoyable to watch but also, if you go by their prize take, extremely successful and potent. Folks in the country live and breathe the game, and its domestic league’s appeal just adds to the appeal of the national team. The new Flamengo president is in charge of the best known local side in an extremely competitive domestic league. The salsa-style of Brazil has seen the country claim a record-breaking five medals since the cup’s inception.
Italy is always going to be considered one of the best soccer teams on a worldwide setting. This largely has to do with their strong, victorious history and tremendous pedigree. Italian soccer is well known for being extremely defensive and challenging to play against. Their set pieces are regularly mastered, with talented midfielders being well known for their free kick skills. Not very well known for having a creative flair, they are smart, physically strong footballers who understand how to defend well and hold the ball. The international team has picked up four world cups in its history, one among the only squads to do so. And it is no surprise when you consider the strength of their local league. The new AC Milan owner is in charge of a club that has developed some of the greatest Italian footballers of them all. It is commonly the case that a solid national squad is built by having a strong domestic league.
A good number of people might not right away consider Germany when thinking of the best soccer countries of all time, but they truly are. Perhaps it's because men and women normally focus more on their showy counterparts, but the northern European nation always seems to fly under the radar slightly, despite being one of the strongest and most successful football countries of all time. German Football is all about fast movement, team spirit, efficiency and directness. The Bayern Munich trainer is in charge of a team that exhibits all those attributes. The country has picked up 4 world cup championships in the competition’s history, making it one of the most triumphant countries in the world. You can be sure that all teams are apprehensive to face the German machine at the start of any contest and that they are most likely to finish in the top 4 at the very least.
