Revisiting Collections - 'Football has a major effect on Brazilian culture. For much of the early development of the game in Brazil, the nations size and the lack of rapid transport made national competitions infeasible, so the competition centred on state tournaments and such inter-state competitions as the Torneio Rio-Sao Paulo.' - Leonardo O Cunha
