Brazilian soccer is all about "o jogo bonito", Portuguese for "the beautiful game", which means
"a game in which prodigious individual skills outshine team tactics, where dribbles and flicks are preferred over physical challenges and long distance passes", to quote a book by Alex Bellos named "Futebol: the Brazilian way of life".
It's a way to express flair and creativity in the Brazilian culture, I guess.
