yeah,maybe they are not tall enough,but it nerver means they are not good enough.i have been the fans of Brazilia for many years since i started my football favers.i was so impressed by their personal skills but not their heights.Some short people can even do better in the team, their height might be their advantages while controlling the ball.Ronaldinho with an average of height in his team often uses his head to goal,but Crouch in England with 1.98 meters prefer his feet to goal more often by contrast.So what do you think of it?

Yes. I agree with you. Size doesn't matter. What is famous with Brazil football is their Samba tactical play which continue to wow all the people since a long time ago. With the ability of individual skill that plus the teamwork and nice tactical approach, it is not a surprised to see why Brazil can be reckoned as the best in the world. Beside, how can we close one eye on the team that never failed to qualify to every world cup in history?

Short players do have their advantage. With a lower center of mass, they are known for incredible ball control and amazing runs. Just look at Maradona and Messi. Short players, but incredible ball control. They just don't seem to slip when they have the ball. Also look at Michael Owen, a short player as compared to others in the EPL, but often scored using his head.
