De Futebol
Oh, where have you gone Cristiano Ronaldo? We know that you didn’t show up at the World Cup.
This clown is the most expensive futebol player in the world yet he has only ripped twines once.
This stinks bad boy.
No wonder my fellow Brasileiros call you the fake Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo can still score even though he is fat and out of shape.
Ronaldo is the top scorer in World Cup history with 15.
Cristiano at this rate it will take you 100 years to reach 15.
The bad news Spain defeated Portugal 1-0.
Instead of attack, Portugal sat back and played defense.
Spain had a 2-1 edge in possession.
David Villa received a great back-healed pass from mate Xavi Hernandez. Shot. Block. Save. Rebound. Shot. Score.
Villa’s rebound of his own shot in the 63rd minute was the difference in the match.
I don’t get this game plan employed by Portugal.
You have a guy who can rip the twines and you don’t use him.
Jeez, let the fake Ronaldo have a whack at the Spanish “D”.
If you are going to lose, at least go down swinging.
But, hey what do I know I’m just a blogger.
Spain is on to the next round where they will take on Paraguay who beat Japan in a 5-3 PK shoot out win.
Both sides were tied nil-nil after 120 minutes of hard-nosed futebol.
Paraguay had most of the possession but they Paraguayans couldn’t crack the code.
This match up should be a good one.
So far, Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay, and Uruguay have advanced to the quarterfinals.
Only Chile didn’t make it because Brasil kicked their butts.
I am looking forward to a Brasil-Argentina final.
I told my friend Robert, who works at Jons in Van Nuys, CA, that I expected to see a Brasil-Argentina final.
So far so good.
