The 2010 World Cup is in the books. Spain defeated Netherlands 1-0 to win their first title. I was happy for the Spanish side but I was sad Brasil didn’t win.
Spain became the first team lose their opening round match and go onto win the World Cup.
So much for the press template.
A friend of mine at the radio station where I work asked me what did I think about the World Cup.
I told him it was a chippy match. The Dutch played dirty because they couldn’t keep up with Spain’s superior speed.
It was down right dirty futebol. Especially De Jong’s foot to the chest of the Spanish player.
This should have been a straight card.
The ref had his head up his butt on that one.
My friend is a former professional wrestler.
We both are air personalities.
I am the a futebol freak and Seth is a former professional wrestler working together. Then throw into the mix Ross a hockey nut and Dave a straight-laced news guy makes the radio station kinda wild.
The news guy and myself are the only true futebol nuts.
The ESPN idiots and the clowns in the press are having a cow that Rooney, Messi, and Kaka didn’t score.
Rooney entered the World Cup tourney broke down. He was part of the walking wounded. Rooney has been hurting since September 2009.
This is the direct result from playing futebol year round.
Hey, give the guy a rest.
Kaka was not the primary scorer on the Brasil side. Kaka was the point guard to use hoops terminology. His job was to distribute the ball to Robinho, Elano, and Fabiano.
Kaka’s role and I repeated his role was to dish out assists.
Don’t doubt me on this.
This was Dunga’s system.
The stoops at ESPN were either blind or were stuck on their template.
What killed Brasil in the match against Netherlands was Elano was hurt.
Without Elano, this enabled the Dutch to marshal their forces to stop Robinho and Fabiano.
With a Elano healthy, this would have opened up the pitch.
Instead of a two-pronged attack, Brasil would have three go to guys.
Yet, this doesn’t take away from the boneheaded stomp on the ankle by Mello.
You can’t lose your cool in times of crisis.
I am not saying if Mello didn’t do the unforgivable sin Brasil would have won but he did kill Brasil’s chances of mounting a serious comeback.
Brasil played team ball.
They were not a team of stars.
The Brasil press went nuts on this.
Globo Esporte and UOL wanted the likes of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo to play. They blamed Brasil’s defeat on the lack of stars.
Yet, the stars of 2006 stunk the joint out.
They were fat, out of shape, and drugged out.
These stars lost in the quarterfinals too.
Brasil lacks two players.
One is a money player.
This is the cat that can take over a match and score.
A dude who can carry a team on his back like Pele.
A Pele comes along only once in a million years.
Yet, if Kaka, Elano, Robinho, and Fabiano can play together for another four years Brasil will be almost unbeatable.
The second is a stopper on “D”.
Dunga knew what he was doing.
He was fired or quit according to what source you read was because he didn’t placate the Brasil press and the CBF.
Dunga should not have been fired.
This was stupid.
England needs to fire Capello.
Fire the entire team and rebuild from the ground up.
The English side was overrated.
Germany will be a force to be reckoned with in 2014.
Spain is a one hit wonder.
The Netherlands had their chance.
Argentina needs to fire Maradona.
Argentinos will need to replace Tevez and whole slew of players.
Maradona is fun for quotes but a futebol mind he is not.
Hire a real coach.
Try Europe.
Uruguay was a huge surprise to many.
Not me.
Uruguay had to go through the qualifying route to make it to the World Cup.
The Uruguayans are for real.
Suarez and Forlan are for real.
This squad is made up of some real good young studs.
Forlan scored five goals.
All in all, it was a fun World Cup.
South America proved they can hang with the big boys of Europe.
The power is shifting from Europe to South America.

On the verge of leading Brasil into their quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, former Dutch star Johann Cruyff said he wouldn’t pay to see Brasil play.
He said Dunga has led Brasil into the shits.
Globo Esporte put it this way- Dunga aproveitou a entrevista coletiva oficial da Fifa, nesta quinta-feira, em Porto Elizabeth, na África do Sul, para responder a Johann Cruyff. Considerado um dos melhores jogadores de todos os tempos, o líder do Carrossel Holandês que encantou o mundo na Copa de 1974 disse que “não pagaria para ver a seleção brasileira jogar” e que o Brasil comandado por Dunga tinha se transformado em “um time como qualquer outro da Copa”.
Dunag fired back that FIFA gave him free tickets.
Ele (Cruyff) deve ter ingresso de graça. Por isso ele não paga. Ele pode escolher as partidas para ver. Na democracia você escolhe os jogos que quer e vai assistir. Ele deve ter ingressos de graça da Fifa e por isso não vai comprar.
Perguntado se pagaria para ver alguma partida da Holanda nesta Copa do Mundo, Dunga preferiu brincar.
Eu sou pão duro, vejo pela televisão.
Logo depois, o técnico brasileiro procurou amenizar a polêmica. Jogos de Copa do Mundo sempre valem a pena assistir. São um espetáculo. São jogadores de qualidade de todos os países. É algo único que acontece de quatro em quatro anos
Não sei se o mundo para, mas uma boa parte do mundo para para assistir. Eu pagaria sem dúvida. Gostamos de olhar os jogos porque são jogadores muito técnicos.
Johann Cruyff também havia criticado os talentos individuais escolhidos por Dunga para disputar a Copa do Mundo.
Eu olho para esse time e me lembro de pessoas como Gerson, Tostão, Falcão, Zico ou Sócrates. Agora, só vejo Gilberto (Silva), (Felipe) Melo, (Michel) Bastos, Julio Baptista. Onde está a magia brasileira? – disse o holandês.

The entire world was waiting to see the match between Brasil and Portugal. This baby ended in a nil-nil kiss your sister draw.
Dunga rested many of his top stars. Robinho was given the day off. Kaka had to sit out due two yellow cards and Elano missed to the ankle stomp administered by the dirty Ivory Coast buggers.
Brasil had most of the possessions.
Both sides had a few good scoring chances but ended up firing blanks.
The fake Ronaldo played like a girl. This dude sucks in big time matches.
The stupid folks at ESPN named the fake Ronaldo the man of the match. Only the idiots at ESPN could come up with something as insane and inane as this.
Dunga said it best- This was a totally dumb decision. Lucio should have been named player of the match not the fake fraud of a player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Além do técnico Dunga, diferentes atletas da seleção brasileira criticaram a escolha de Cristiano Ronaldo como melhor jogador em campo. O mais enfático foi o zagueiro Lúcio: “É uma vergonha”, disse, depois de observar que a defesa brasileira anulou o atacante português. “A nossa defesa marcou muito bem, conseguiu neutralizar o Cristiano Ronaldo. Com todo respeito, acho uma vergonha ele ser eleito o melhor em campo”.Na entrevista coletiva depois do jogo, Dunga afirmou que, na sua opinião, o merecedor do troféu de melhor em campo deveria ser, justamente, o capitão da seleção brasileira. ““Eu elegeria o Lúcio, que interceptou todas as bolas e saiu jogando muito bem. Mas são as pessoas que escolhem que têm que ver”, comentou.
Lucio said someone must have been watching a different game.
Luis Fabiano também se surpreendeu com a escolha. “Quem ganhou? O Cristiano Ronaldo? Se ele foi eleito, alguém viu outro jogo”, ironizou. Sobre a própria atuação foi mais comedido: “Se ficam os 11 atrás, como eles ficaram, não há equipe que vença”, observou. “Foi muito complicado achar espaço”.
Os números mostram que Cristiano Ronaldo teve atuação apagada na partida. Chutou sete vezes a gol, mas só uma na direção certa e sem perigo para Julio Cesar. Tocou na bola 32 vezes, acertando 13 passes. Não sofreu marcação especial e levou apenas duas faltas. Conseguiu levar perigo ao gol brasileiro em uma única jogada. Depois de driblar Juan, levou Lúcio a tocar a bola para Raul Meireles, que quase marcou.
Portugal coach blamed Brasil for the lack of “O”.
Dunga said the Portuguese side sat back and did nothing.
Dunga played his cards tight to the vest.
We won Group G and now we faced South American foe Chile on Monday.
Portugal takes on European foe Spain.
Bye, Bye to the fake Ronaldo and his Portuguese buds.
Spain beat Chile 2-1 to win Group H.
Now it’s on to nut cutting time.
Brasil, USA, Uruguay, Chile, Netherlands, Ghana, Slovakia, and South Korea are on one side of the bracket.
You gotta look at the death side of the other bracket. Get this Spain, Argentina, England, Paraguay, Mexico, Germany, and Portugal in a knock down draw out bracket.
Twenty paces, aim and fire guys. Let’s hope the guns are loaded. Whatever you do, don’t fire blanks.
Six of the top fifteen teams in the world are in this bracket.
Crazy baby.
The Brasileiros press can scream at Dunga about how stupid he is but look at the teams he is match with.
You idiot pundits need to shut the blank up.
Dunga is a genius. ]
He has taken a team that was full of fat overpaid stars that didn’t care about anything and transformed this sorry team into one of the top teams in the world.
Dunga got rid of the fat man Ronaldo, the troublemaker Ronaldinho Gaucho, the coke head Adriano and the other clowns and replaced them with Kaka, Robinho, Maicon, and Fabiano.
It’s on to the next round baby.
