Brazil

Start the year with a good joke!

Dunga was ranked the best National Coach in 2007 by the IFFHS - International Federation of Football History & Statistics. I didn’t find the criteria they used to reach this conclusion, but if that is based purely on results and numbers, well, ok they may have a point. But as a coach he still has a long way to go. ...

Who is the Worlds best player? KaKá!

Kaká has already won the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup (in which he was chosen as the best of the competition) and the Ballon d’Or before he was awarded yesterday by the great majority of national team coaches and captains as #1 for Fifa. As a Brazilian I am really glad to see this kid shining like ... [read]

Erika Bulman

I know that many people will celebrate because Brazil has been awarded with the 2014 World Cup. I also know that many will bash, believing that our country is not capable of hosting an event of such magnitude. I will not even be surprised if most of the bashing comes from Brazilians either. ...

Brazil, Brazil

Brazil has been awarded the 2014 World Cup. It will be a great opportunity for our country. Every people here love the sport and new (or renewed) stadiums will be very welcomed by all the cities chosen to host the event. New roads, subways and railways will bring many benefits too.

Brazil 3 x 1 Mexico Videos

Here are some videos about the Brazil - Mexico friendly I found in YouTube. Note that in the second video the American broadcasting was still showing Kaka’s goal replay. The narrator gets confused. He than asks if it is worth to shout “GOAL” and he does that but with much less enthusiasm. All videos are in Portuguese.

This video shows not ... [read]

Finally Bra 3 x 1 Mex

Finally we won against the Mexicans. At the Confederations Cup last year we lost 1×0, then at the Copa America we lost 2×0. Since the year 2000 we played against Mexico 9 times, and this is only the second win, while they managed to beat us 5 times (plus 2 draws). It ... [read]

Brazil 4 x 2 USA

Sunday’s friendly match against the US national team was nice and fun to watch. The American team played well and with an opened and forward attitude. With some of their players performing in Europe, their game is getting better. No wonder they have beaten Mexico at the Concacaf Gold Cup.
Brazil played well too, in a happy mood that is a ... [read]

Double Trouble, says Fifa

Very nice article in the Fifa website about the 2 twin brothers Fabio and Rafael, both wingers playing in the National Team in the U-17 World Championship. Both going to Manchester United, as I posted 2 days ago. Nice hopes for the future. I hope nobody starts to compare them with other great stars, as the press in general is ... [read]

Against Algeria?

Brazil won… 2-0. While other great national teams are really testing themselves, we play against nº 73 in the Fifa ranking. Even worse: with the team that won the Copa America we didn’t score anything. Only during the second half, with Kaka and Ronaldinho, our team started to play. But just between ... [read]
