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.

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.

Finally, Portugal played very well although be it against an inferior foe North Korea. Portugal flew to a huge 7-0 win.
Even the fake Ronaldo scored his first 2010 World Cup goal in the 87th minute.
This match was over before it even began.
Portugal came flying out of the box.
They made mince meat of the vaunted North Korean “D.”
The Korean keeper Ri Myong-Guk must felt like he was in a shoot gallery.
Portugal takes on Brasil in the final match of Group G.
Portugal should move on.
Ivory Coast goose is cooked.
This is a dirty team.
Drogba and his mates should shot for dirty play and horrible acting.
Thank God Elano didn’t get hurt when the Ivory Coast player decided to do the ankle stomp on him.
Portugal played well but against Brasil Portugal will have a hard time even though Brasil is minus Kaka.
You better watch out for Danny Alves.
Robinho will be loaded for bear as well too.
Brasil has a point to prove.
We will be playing with a chip on our shoulders.
Watch out Portugal for your fakes stars better be ready.
Chile beat Switzerland 1-0.
Spain took care of business against Honduras winning 2-nil.
Chile is top dog with six points.
The Chileans are on to the next round.
Spain and the Swiss are tied for second with three points each.
Switzerland battles Honduras and Spain takes on Chile.
Spain has to win against Chile and hopes that Switzerland either losses or wins by less than two goals.
Brasil, Argentina, Netherlands, and Chile are on to the knockout stage.
The fun is just heating up.
I just love it.
The cheating French are fighting with each other.
Ireland must be laughing themselves silly.
Even with all this chaos the French are still dangerous.
I would love see them get 86th in the Group stage along with the nasty Germans.
Italy the defending World Cup champs may not even make it out of the Group stage too.

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.

Landon Donovan showed promise when he played for EPL club Everton for a spell from January thru April but when push comes to shove Donovan wusses out in money matches.

I can’t wait.
I am pulling for Brasil.
My heart is Brasilian.
Go Brasil.
