No, actually I don't care about that Argentine, even though it's always fun to mess with 2 atishe Argentina fans.

Having said that I prefer Maradona to Pele, but generally apart from that I like Brazil over Argentina in football.
Adriano is the best example of a phenomenon in Brazilians of lack of longevity - whether it is because of bad mentorship, additional pressures or poor decisions (e.g. why did Oscar go to China at 26?)
Many of these players just didn't fulfil any expectations: Most expensive player ever Denilson who ended up in Saudi Arabia just a few years after he went to Betis, The ever-injured Pato, Diego (discipline problems the whole time), Elano (assaulted his indian club owner in Goa) and the other ones who came to england with lots of hype but didnt do anything - Robinhoe, Anderson, younger Denilson etc...

Most football players come from piss-poor families/neighborhoods. The difference is that in Brazil they are usually much poorer, yet they are extremely talented and many times they reach top of the world. For these players usually money plays a bigger role than their football careers. "Who cares if you go to Saudi Arabia or China at your career's ideal age, as long as you are set for the rest of your life and even more". They start quite well but as soon as they get some fame and money, only money will matter I guess.
