"Venezuela was all baseball and beauty contests but a few things have changed... a crowd of more than 50,000 turn out to watch Venezuela host Brazil in a World Cup qualifying match. It’s a sign of the country’s growing passion for football."
"They can qualify for the World Cup, but it is going to be tight. After wins over Paraguay and Chile and a 1-1 draw in Brazil, early optimism was high... but just three points from their last five games means Venezuela still have a lot of work to do."
"We are under no illusions. We face Brazil at home next... winning is the only way we'll make it to the World Cup." Legendary forward Salomon Rondon reflects on the challenges ahead for the Venezuelan squad.
"It wasn't always this way. Since 2001, with Richard Paez as head coach, he instilled a sense of national pride in the team, changing the international perception of Venezuelan football."
