Slowly Dunga’s reign of terror looks to be ending. The samba steady free flowing essence of Brazilian football has been lost, replaced by the dour, dark and disturbing image of a team faking their true identity. The showing against Argentina proved it all, we could’ve been beaten we could’ve been attacked but we were spared [...]

A sad, sad day for Brazlian football. No intent, No heart and No imagination, but what should we have expected we are coached by an inept dopey fool, who doesn’t know what Brazil means to football. Brazil played a horrible slow and lethargic game making them easy targets for a hungry and cohesive team in [...]

The industrialisation of our football, our decision to place efficiency over skill and our emphasis of caution over the love and exuberance of the Brazilian culture have cost our game and style over the last few years. Slowly the beautiful game is becoming a myth something which only happened in the past but is [...]

First and foremost I didn’t see the match live, so my account of what took place has come from match summaries and Highlights. But the main gist of the situation I gathered was the Seleção
decided to take an early holiday, which in turn means the backline decided not to defend. Full marks to Canada for [...]

Dunga has picked his squad for the up and coming friendly matches with Canada and Venezuela, and world Cup Qualifying Matches verses Paraguay, and those lovely South American brothers of ours, Argentina.
So the squad announced is:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (AS Roma), Diego Alves (Almeria)
Defenders: Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Maicon (Inter Milan), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), [...]

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 [...]

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. There are [...]

Brazil is back on the top of the Fifa Ranking. We’ve been there for so long that it felt awkward some times. And if you think I’m “full of it” go check our “line” at the Fifa “Compare Teams” page. It really is brutal.
Even so, everyday I see some football “expert” talking about the [...]

Dunga is testing a striking number of players during these last friendly matches. Luis Paulo wrote in his ‘Bread and Circus’ text something that I thought right after CBF announced Parreira’s replacement: give the people a remedy for the immediate pain. Bring a fierce and audacious man to replace the slow moron that insisted with [...]

This is the newest CBF’s policy. If the people are hungry, give them entertainment. That’s why they hired Dunga as a coach and capped a different team to play against Norway.
