What is Brazil known for?

The squad that represented Brazil in the 2010 Fifa World Cup
Christ the Redeeme
What is Brazil known for? Hmm, i guess everyone's answer without a shadow of a doubt would be Football. Brazil are the only country that have played in every other tournament of the Fifa World Cup, they are also the only country that have won the Fifa World Cup 5 times.  Brazil have plenty of footballing talents plying their trade in different nation's football leagues, from names like Ronaldo to Kaka to Pele. There is no end to the list. Brazil is the only country in the world that has enjoyed such footballing success.









Next up, I'm quite sure will be the second to football, which Brazil is known for. Christ the Redeemer. It is a statue of Jesus Christ which is located in Rio de Janeiro. It is thought to be the second largest art decoration statue in the world, standing at an astonishing 39.6meters high and 30 meters wide, weighing 635 tonnes, is an architecture wonder. Christ the Redeemer, which is a symbol for Christianity, has now become an icon for Brazil as well as Rio.
