Another component of their culture is the sports that the Brazilians play. The main sport that is played for fun is soccer. It's played for fun, and professionally or anything in between. That's how big the sport is in Brazil. The second main sport in Brazil is volleyball. This has just recently become the second main sport. Out of all the different sports they play, soccer and volleyball are the most played sports.

There are many similarities and differences between Brazil and the United States. One of the similarities is that Catholicism is one of the biggest religions. A difference is that there are a lot more people in the USA that do not believe in God or any other superior person like a God. There are many more Atheists or people with no religion. Also, in the United States, soccer is not the biggest sport. In the United States, Baseball, Football, and basketball are all bigger than soccer. The United States and Brazil are not that alike. In fact, they are more different than alike.
