Well, according to Luc Besson it would be possible...
The Fifth Element takes place around 2300, and if you notice at some point in the movie, in Korben's apartment there's a Brazil soccer jersey hanging on the wall...
If soccer can survive for 300 years, why not 300 more?
(ok, some might say it's an
old jersey from our time... pretty damn well conserved eh?)
N.B. In addition, if you look closely, you can notice there are still only 4 stars on the jersey. For those that do not know, a star on a national jersey equals to one World Cup victory, so the script fallacy here is that during these whole 300 years, Brazil never had a chance to win additional world cups...
