Every boy in Brazil wants to become a professional footballer and that has been the success story behind Brazil’s dominance in World soccer over the years.

Carlos Da Silva mostly known as Mineiro who is part of the Vodafone Play Fair Brazil tour said soccer is a profession for many Brazilians.

Mineiro who scored a famous goal for Sau Paulo against Liverpool in the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship said he had a great time playing alongside the likes of John Terry and Frank Lampard for Chelsea in 2008.


Mineiro rates Lionel Messi as the best soccer player on the planet.

The Play Fair Brazil team will play Fiji at 6pm tomorrow at Churchill Park and 2.30pm Saturday at Govind Park. 

You can catch the live commentaries of both matches on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
