Brazilians have more flair, but what's ball skills and juggling skills got to do with how effective you are in a game? Generally, the people who do all those crazy tricks with balls are clowns. They are like circus entertainers. They are no footballers. Brazilians are more skillful than Italians in the way that they can dribble or juggle more, but in technique-wise, Italians are up there. Its not about how much you can juggle, or how many step-overs you can do. Its about how you use your skill in soccer and apply it to the game. Take Neddy for example. When do you see him dribble and turing around players? Hardly ever, but he is VERY effective.
There are different kinds of skills. Controlling a ball is different from juggling it. Italians know how to control a ball when its comming their way. Italians play by the book. Brazilians generally add their own flair to it. Its helpful at times, but disasterous at others. Nonetheless, moderation is key in football. If a player has flair and can use it effectively, then he is a great footballer. Examples of such are Ronaldo, Totti, DP(old times), Henry and Zidane.
