This is the match I have been waiting for Brasil- Ivory Coast.

Game on.

I love it.

So far, we have a tightly played contest.

Brasil hit for pay dirt in the in the 25th minute. Luis Fabiano fought his way thru the tough Ivory Coast “D”.

He roofed a tight angled right side shot to give us 1-0 lead.

Kaka had his hand in the play with a great back heel pass to set up the winner.

Brasil has now seized the match by the throat.

Ivory Coast is still dangerous with Didier Drogba on the pitch.

This cat can change the scope of the match in a heartbeat.

Except for free kick, Drogba has been MIA.

This is not good for the Ivory Coast.

So far so good, for we are up 1-nil.

From the 35th to the 37th minute, the Ivory Coast has had three good attacks on goal. Zippo nada is the result.

We are half and we have the result we wanted a 1-0 lead.

We are in the money. Fabiano took it straight to the rack and beat three Ivory Coast defenders to make 2-0 Brasil in the 50th minute.

A great long ball by mate Julio Cesar set this up.

Drogba had a great header on goal in the 54th minute. His shot skidded across the goalmouth.

This was s close call. 

It is three-nil in the 63rd minute.

Kaka took a free kick down the left side of the pitch. He set it up with a great crossover dribble.

This set up the defender to shade to the middle of the pitch.

Kaka went zoom past em.

He flew straight to Ivory Coast end line.

Elano broke to the center of the box.

Kaka fired a great diagonal pass to mate Elano.

Elano had the easy tap in goal to make 3-0 nil Brasil.

Drogba scored for the Ivory Coast on a break away header in the 79th minute.

This was set up by a defensive lapse by Brasil.

Robinho stopped a for sure goal a few moments earlier.

This led directly to the Didier Drogba goal.

Now you see what I mean about how dangerous Drogba is.

It is 3-1 Brasil.

Kaka was given the heave-hoe after his second yellow card.

The Ivory Coast player deliberately ran into his elbow.

The guy’s a flopper.

This sucks big time.

Brasil was given the raw end of the deal.

Yet read the scoreboard fools.

You lost sucker.

3-1.

Brasil is on to the next round.

Kaka will miss the final Group stage match against Portugal.

Kaka played great.

He didn’t score but had two assists.

The Elephants are dirty.

The Brasil press said that peace has been restored on the Brasilian team. This win tested the nerves of the Brasileiros team- Globo Esporte- Foi uma vitória para restabelecer a paz entre a seleção brasileira e a torcida, que na arquibancada do Soccer City gritou “olé” e “o campeão voltou” graças ao placar de 3 a 1 sobre a Costa do Marfim neste domingo, em Joanesburgo. E foi também uma vitória que testou os nervos de alguns jogadores, já que os africanos apelaram para faltas duras depois de levarem três gols até os 17 minutos do segundo tempo. Kaká não passou nesse teste e foi expulso.

Luis Fabiano’s two goals made him the top scorer with Dunga at the helm.

Os gols marcados por Luis Fabiano (duas vezes, uma delas ajeitando a bola com o braço) e Elano fazem do Brasil o segundo país classificado para as oitavas de final da Copa do Mundo, depois da Holanda, e o terceiro a conseguir 100% de aproveitamento, junto com holandeses e argentinos. A primeira colocação do Grupo G pode ficar garantida já nesta segunda-feira, em caso de empate entre Portugal e Coreia do Norte, que se enfrentam às 8h30m. Luis Fabiano, agora o artilheiro da era Dunga (com 21 gols), foi eleito o melhor em campo no Soccer City. 

The press is saying that Fabiano’s second goal is similar to Maradona’s famous “Hand of God” goal in 1986.

The the ball did roll up his arm.

The ref didn’t see it.

Too bad this baby counts.

This was like Maradona’s blatant hand ball.

This sucker was not intentional.

 Em 1986, o gol com a mão de Maradona na partida de quartas de final entre Argentina e Inglaterra criou uma polêmica que se arrasta por mais de 20 anos e promete não ter fim. Neste domingo, em Joanesburgo, Luis Fabiano, mais discretamente, usou novamente do artifício para ampliar a vantagem da seleção brasileira sobre a Costa do Marfim, na partida vencida pelo Brasil por 3 a 1. Após a partida, o atacante confessou que dominou a bola com o braço. No entanto, ele tentou aliviar para o seu lado.

Foi uma mão involuntária, a mão de Deus. Realmente a bola acabou tocando na mão no primeiro lance. O segundo lance foi no ombro. Para ficar mais bonito, o gol tinha que ter um toque duvidoso. Mas como foi involuntário, acho que valeu o gol. Acho que foi um dos mais bonitos da minha carreira. Fazer um gol numa Copa do Mundo é espetacular. Acho que é falar mais do gol, que foi uma pintura, do que o uso da mão – afirmou.

New Zealand pulled off a huge upset by tying the defending World Cup champs Italy one all.

Italy is playing like crap.

Paraguay shut out Slovenia 2-0.

Paraguay is in the pole position in Group F with four points. Italy and New Zealand are tied for second with two points each.

This is the day I have been waiting for Brasil’s first World Cup match.

Sure, Brasileiros won 2-1 but the reality of the situation is this we played like crap.

Yes, the two goals were brilliant.

Maicon scored the first goal in the 55th minute.

He fired a difficult angled shot from the right of the box.

Maicon squeezed the ball past the keeper just inside the left post.

Globo Esporte wrote this about his first appearance in the World Cup competition.

Maicon, um dos estreantes em Copas do Mundo na seleção, disse ter ficado satisfeito com a atuação de outros jogadores que atuaram pela primeira vez na história da competição. Por ter marcado um gol logo na estreia, o jogador ficou emocionado. Mas garante que não chorou.

Maicon said he was happy and about to cry after his first Wiorld Cup goal.

Passou (na minha cabeça) tudo o que eu passei para chegar a esse momento, de disputar a Copa. E logo na primeira partida fazer um gol… Não cheguei a chorar, mas fiquei feliz, beijei a minha aliança por tudo o que a minha esposa vem fazendo por mim. É um agradecimento a todos que sempre estiveram do meu lado.

Then Robinho feed mate Elano. Elano had a walk in goal to make 2-nil Brasil in the 72nd minute.

North Korea made it close when Ji Yun-Nam shredded the Brasileiros “D”. He ripped the twines to cut the cap to 2-1 in the 89th minute.

It wasn’t pretty but a win is a win.

Brasil had a 3-1 edge in possession but Kaka and the guys wound up firing blanks.

Kaka was nowhere to be found.

This is very disturbing. 

Globo Esporte said that Brasil has never lost an opening game of the World Cup.

Durante 55 minutos, o Brasil deu a impressão de que seria atingido pela seca de gols nesta Copa do Mundo. Teve uma atuação burocrática no primeiro tempo e adotou outra postura após o intervalo, afastando o assustador 0 a 0 e conseguindo dois belos gols. Um descuido defensivo no fim da partida, no entanto, determinou o placar de 2 a 1 sobre a Coreia do Norte, mantendo a  tradição de vitórias apertadas em estreias. Desde 1982, o Brasil tem 100% de aproveitamento em suas participações iniciais, mas quase sempre por um gol de diferença – a exceção foi em 1994.

Many blamed the frigid conditions. It was 34 degrees with a wind chill of minis 2.

A previsão de frio na noite de Joanesburgo se confirmou, com 2º no começo da partida (e sensação térmica de -3º), obrigando cinco dos dez jogadores de linha na escalação inicial a usar luvas: Juan, Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Kaká e Luis Fabiano. Na arquibancada, a torcida fez a sua parte, tentando esquentar o clima com seu grito preferido de “sou brasileiro, com muito orgulho, com muito amor” e dando a impressão de que a seleção estava em casa.

Dunga said Brasil started out slow and improved in the second the half.

Após a vitória por 2 a 1 sobre a Coreia do Norte nesta terça-feira, em Joanesburgo, o técnico Dunga disse que o Brasil sentiu a ansidedade do primeiro jogo na Copa do Mundo, mas melhorou no segundo tempo. O comandante da seleção  explicou as substituições feitas na partida (Elano, Kaká e Felipe Melo saíram para as entradas de Daniel Alves, Nilmar e Ramires) e falou sobre a dificuldade de enfrentar equipes que armam fortes retrancas. Confira os principais pontos da entrevista coletiva:

The press questioned Dunga about his line up and why he choose Nilmar over Julio Baptista.

Eu tenho 23 opções no elenco. Se fosse apenas substituir um pelo outro, eu optava pelo Julio Baptista. Mas eles (coreanos) estavam em linha. Por isso eu quis colocar um jogador para dar mais velocidade, e esse era o Nilmar.

Then the idiot press asked Dunga if Brasil will play better against a stronger opponet.

Quando se enfrenta uma seleção ofensiva, você tem espaço. Quando um time joga fechado, fica difícil. É preciso acelerar o passe, tem que ter persistência. Mas a nossa movimentação foi perfeita no segundo tempo, principalmente quando passava o Maicon. E criou bastantes oportunidades.

We will find out when Brasil faces the Ivory Coast on Saturday.

Portugal and the Ivory Coast tie nil-nil.

This is the day we have been waiting for.  

The World Cup begins today.

South Africa battles Mexico while Uruguay takes France.

Happy days are here again.

Brasil is one of the prohibitive favorites to win the whole shooting match.

Led by Kaka, Robinho, Maicon, Juan, Dani Alves, and the superman in goal Julio Cesar Brasileiros are a team to be reckoned with.

These cats are hungry to prove they can win without the super stars of the past-Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaucho and the rest of the fat fading stars.

Kaka and the guys have a chip on their shoulders.

Brasileiros are in a very hard group.

Check this group out.

Group D has Brasil, Portugal, Ivory Coast, and North Korea.

This is truly the Group of death.

Brasil will win hands down.

Dunga has put together a team that has size and speed.

Besides that, these cats can flat out rip the twines.

Don’t forget Dunga has taught them to play tough nosed “D”.

Globo Esporte wrote that Kaka and Robinho have led this squad to 28 wins and four draws.

These two guys make a deadly duo.

 Globo Esporte put it this way-Kaká é a principal estrela da seleção brasileira que vai disputar a Copa do Mundo a partir do dia 15, na África do Sul. Robinho é o símbolo da Era Dunga. Juntos, os dois se tornaram imbatíveis sob o comando do treinador. Em 32 jogos, a dupla obteve 28 vitórias e quatro empates. Derrotas? Nem em sonho. O aproveitamento é de 91,6%.

Atuando ao lado de Robinho, Kaká é o artilheiro da dupla. O apoiador do Real Madrid marcou 14 gols nas 32 partidas. O Rei das Pedaladas, por sua vez, deixou a sua marca em oito oportunidades. Sem contar os jogos da parceria, o jogador do Santos balançou a rede 19 vezes e é o goleador ao lado de Luis Fabiano.

God forbid if Brasil fails to win this baby.

Dunga will be shot at dusk.

We have the final tune up before the 2010 World Cup kicks off in June in South Africa. Brasil battles Ireland at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday March 2nd.

This will be Dunga’s last chance to tweak the line up and see which players will make the final World Cup squad.

Sure, bets are Robinho, Kaka, Cesar, Luis Fabiano, Maicon, Lucio, Daniel Alves, and Felipe Melo.

This is just a partial list.

Adriano will be teamed with Robinho up front. I sure hope this works out. Adriano is still very iffy.

This is my take on the situation.

Please Dunga whatever you do not and I repeat do not include the head case Ronaldinho and the fat old man Ronaldo on the squad.

Please for this will surely ruin the team chemistry.

In plain and simple English, this will kill the team.

Globo Esporte had this to say http://globoesporte.globo.com/ Adriano deve ser o substituto de Luis Fabiano no ataque da seleção brasileira para o amistoso contra a Irlanda. O atacante do Flamengo participou entre os titulares da movimentação tática comandada pelo técnico Dunga nesta segunda-feira, no Emirates Stadium, em Londres, na Inglaterra. O “Fabuloso” foi cortado por causa de uma lesão muscular no peito.
A outra novidade foi a escalação de Ramires no meio-campo. Os titulares treinaram com Julio César: Maicon, Lucio, Juan e Michel Bastos; Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Ramires e Kaká; Robinho e Adriano. A partida é a última antes da convocação final para a Copa do Mundo da África do Sul.  

Brasilian superstar Kaka is worried that the guys may wind up getting hurt. UOL reported www.uol.com.br O temor a respeito de lesão foi levantado nesta segunda-feira por Kaká, um dia antes do amistoso da seleção brasileira contra a Irlanda em Londres (o jogo acontece nesta terça, às 17h05, de Brasília, com acompanhamento do Placar UOL Esporte).

“A gente vive a expectativa antes de cada convocação. Mas é um passo de cada vez. São dois meses até a próxima convocação, muita coisa pode acontecer. Não dá para entrar em campo pensando em não se machucar, mas o jeito é orar e esperar para que nada aconteça, porque jogamos no limite todo final de semana”, disse Kaká antes do treino da seleção desta tarde no Emirates Stadium, em Londres.

These fears are real. All one has to do is look at what happened to Arsenal’s RVP in a friendly World Cup match.

Lets hope Kaka and the guys come home unscathed.

We need to be at full strength to win this sucker.

I said we for I am an America with a Brasileiro heart.

My wife is Brasilian. Besides that, I love Brasil futebol.

I am a Flamenguista through and through. My family is Flamenguistas too.   

This is my passion.

On Wednesday, there will be a full tilt of World Cup friendly match ups.
