Brazil is no longer the best team in the world in football. I would also say that Maradona is an even bigger failure than Dunga is as a coach.
I wouldn't even be suprised if Spain beats Brazil 3-0 if they play each other anytime soon.\
edit: And thats what I know about Brazil

BJJ had it's peak maybe a couple of years ago, nowadays it's more popular in the US and everywhere else than it is in Brazil!
Soccer and MMA are indeed very popular sports here. I'm more of a MMA guy myself, as I hate soccer and praticed BJJ and boxing for many years in the past.
I wouldn't say our women are particulary "hot", because really, there are hot women everywhere, but no doubt our women are the easiest to get. It's a known fact we brazilians have a much harder time getting chicks when we're travelling abroad than in our own country!
Freedom of religion and best voting system are the two things that make me proud of Brazil. Even though we're largely a catholic country, there are people of ALL faiths possible in Brazil - and everybody gets along well. The voting system is just the way things should be in the whole world. We know who the elected candidate is just a few hours after elections are over.
DotA is by far the most played game atm. It's the only game with a lot of tourneys and some kind of very. very poorly developed "e-sports scene" going - all other games aren't really played that much.

lol moltke
I think this is probably true seeing as how almost every list of facts here has included sexy women.
And I believe Thailand is infamous for sex slaves? Don't hold me to that one though.

Most people don't know much about other countries other than their own. I don't see what the OP expects. Does he know random things about random countries in africa or europe?

any races girls can be hot.
The only two things i've learned in this thread is that brazil has a crappy government and that they are only known for the same thing every other spanish country is, soccer. /nutshell

Theres a big rivalry of Brasil with Argentina, that started with soccer and gone into a national feeling. Not that we treat they bad if they come as tourists, but its notable (perhaps like Japan-China, but without war-invasion attempts on the past).

In fact our base educational system sucks. The higher is not that bad (some public universities are the best of south america, the private ones are more bad) Our law intellectuals and, more notably, medicine is well know, with some of the best surgeons of the world (like on plastic).

with that i disagree, since our football team (yeah football is right also) is being much more sucessfull now with Dunga in recent matches than others. All the critic is for he being inexperienced.

In most of our english schools, unprepared teachers teach that SOCCER is right, FOOTBALL is wrong. Poor teacher dont even think that England created football and there they call it football. There is more acception to the american english than UK english. This is changing now, as at this moment the more prestigious franchise of english schools is "English Culture", focused on UK english.

Baggio the great just choked at the worst time ever 
God, that was an incredibly disappointing day

I don't really understand why you guys care so much about what people know about you lol I personally am ashamed that - my country tops every international corruption rank. - That all famous international election pooling companies officially quit making election pools in Brazil because every election is rigged and their pooling results are always inaccurate. - That our "democracy" makes Iran look like an utopia. lol - That our crime rates shocks any tourists from the first world. - That we use the word "smart" as an synonym to "dishonest".
I don't really want people to know more about Brazil, they would just laugh more at me

Busty tan latinas and capoeira.
Well, I guess I would know a bit more if I dug around in my mind but that's what comes to mind first

I remember my parents told me "yea you can watch the whole game" but it was sooooooooo late here after the prolongations ( 3 am or something lol ) haha.
But Romario was dope too so it was ok 
Usually i don't really care about football but there is always so much drama during WC :p

Sorry VIB, but you are just bashing yourself. Im unhappy with Brasil also, but you are acting like that teenagers who like to talk bad of their country and find it funny or think they are putting themselves off the pot. I saw you are one of the anti-Lula, like if FHC was any better politician. I hate all politicians here, be it PT or PSDB.
Also i would like to se the source to this: "- That all famous international election pooling companies officially quit making election pools in Brazil because every election is rigged and their pooling results are always inaccurate."
Seriously, never heard of it, i would like to see it myself.
