Initially I would like to introduce myself, I want to show the honor and gratitude to be debuting my column about soccer in essence for such a prestigious magazine and such a select audience. My name is Igor Moura, the sports reporter at News System Journal of Commerce & Communication, located in Recife, and arguably the greatest communication system in the North / Northeast of Brazil. My passion for the sport came from the crib with a professional athlete father, and today I work with what I love and I'll be happy from now on to share it with all readers, opinions about the most popular sport in the world . Soccer. To start, nothing better than to draw a parallel between the Brazilian soccer and Soccer in the United States, which in my opinion, is among the three countries in the world where the practice evolves with more notoriety.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was able to draw the most of every athlete, implement a system of effective and psychologically swinging game from each player, something his predecessor Mano Menezes failed to do.
