[quote=Anonymous]Latin countries have language that derives from Latin. This thread has at least 5 different interpretations going on, but for good reason.  The original question is, "Why is the Latin style of soccer so dominant in the world cup tournaments?"  Then OP lists all the countries.  This gives the impression that Latin style is as much French and it is Brazilian.  Anyone who watches the world game knows that these countries play the game much differently.  Football has been extremely successful in taking hold as the national team sport in most of these countries.  That is why they are so successful in the world cup.  Not because there is a certain style they all play.  The problem is with the hypothesis.  Not with the debate.  When Americans hear "Latin", they automatically think Mexico on south through South America and they are not wrong.  Many of those countries do play a similar style.  The "Latin" countries in Europe do not though.  Belgium is technically a Latin country.  I don't think many people would connect their style to that of Peru.  [/quote]
