A Very good prediction!

Hey, I am back!

Finally I’m going to write again and about soccer, subject that I know like no other [sure], more specifically the world cup in Africa. I will make bets of which country is going to win against who based on my very good opinion about the soccer players and the team itself.

First of all, Brazil is going to lose all the games OR will go to the finals and lose for Argentina, but despite my opinion, let’s predict!

                                           -//-
To begin with we can eliminate, already, countries that we have never heard about in soccer (at least me), so good bye Cameroon, Serbia, Algeria and Côte d'Ivoire. They are out!Then how about select which country might have the worst food? (Because eat is everything...) Chile, Korea, Honduras and Gana can give their word of farewell.

Very important thing to keep in mind, England, USA, Germany and France are already out because they are very rich and do not deserve to win anything more (very ignorante opinion but I should have said something to eliminate more countries because there is a lot more to talk about). Oh! Japan doesn’t get eliminated because they have Sushi and Sushi is good (very good)!

Australia is good at surfing, Spain playing with bulls, Paraguai selling ‘pirate’ products and Holand selling things. For them just a plane to GO back to their countries.

Uruguai X Mexico, latino fight, just a tie and succesive losts.

Pasta x Escargot, pasta forever.

Lets assume that Nigeria, Portugal, Holand, Denmark, Switzerland, Greek, Slovakia and New Zeland were caught in a bad romance on a doping exam and got eliminated for that.

Now we are almost on the final

Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, Japan, Slovenia and Italy.

Brazil x Slovenia =Rememebr the plan Brazil x Argentina, so Brazil wins.

South Africa x Italy =Sorry South Africa, but I love Italy.

Argentina x Japan =Remember the plan [2] even though I prefer Japan.

So NOW we have Brazil, Italy and Argentina.

Unfortunately Italy loses and gets the third place

And then.......the epic match

Brazil x Argentina

Needless to say that Argentina IS GOING to win with a loose advantage, and Brazil will get the second place (666).

If this happens don’t forget to print this and make me famous ;)

But now seriously, I don’t know a thing about soccer, I hate it, I don’t understand how people can kill each other for the sport or die of a heart attack because of it, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t make fun about that. Nevertheless, I belive that world cup tends to be more peacefull because humans from all over the world are having a chance to be in touch with each other and maybe forget for a while their row and take everythingt a little bit easier.

In this world cup, I am supporting Italy and Japan :). If Brazil loses you can join me and help support these too.

Wassup yo niggers?!

I'm here to talk 'bout tha world cup and also to make ma teacher correct a great deal of mistakes!

As many of the brazilians, I'm supporting Brazil in this world cup! As many of the brazilians, I didn't like Dunga's last list of convocation... I mean, I enjoyed to see Julio César, Daniel Alves, Maicon, Lúcio, Kaka', Nilmar, Luís Fabiano and all the the footballers from the main team, but, as many of the brazilians, I disliked to see the midfielders Josué and Kléberson and the centre-forward Grafitte on the list. But who knows if Josué will not do a great job stopping Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres and these excelent offensive players??? And if Grafitte became the best scorer from Brazil? I can't wait to see that! I can't wait to see Maradona's sick junkie face after being eliminated – do not hate me, dear, and beautiful, teacher.

Changing lugagge for bag, my guesses are the following:

'Unnecessary' team: Korea DPR, because I think they won't win any match and Brazil will beat them by 3 or 4, so as Portugal.

'Deception' team: France, because Zidane won't be playing.

'Revelation' team: USA, I really believe they're giving trouble to the other teams.

World Cup Champion: Brazil, because we rock, nigga!

Unnecessary footballer: bunches.

Deception footballer: I don't really know if Ayala is playing, but if so, he is the one!

Revelation footballer: De Rossi and Rossi, from Italy, they have talent.

Best footballer: also a great number of possibilities, but I believe that the most quoted are Kaka', Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres. Because they just choose the ones who are playing in the final, what is unfair for me, because I think Ibrahimovic is the best footballer of the world, but he won't be in the final!

The best striker (more goals): Fernando 'El niño' Torres, the killer!!!

And the best things in the world cup are the matches, and I guess the best matches will be – in the group stage: Mexico against Uruguay, England versus USA and Brazil and Portugal. Than, Brazil versus Spain will be the best in the second stage before the finals.

All in all, I think this cup is going to be better than the last one, because I don't see an exceptional player in a great team – like we saw Zidane in France, but great footballers in exceptional teams, like Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Italy and so on... The moves will be incredibles and with credits to all the team.

That's it, bros! Hope you enjoy my words and I wait to read yours about the world cup soon!

And check this out:

Cheers,

World Cup Feelings

Whether you like football or not, there's one thing you've gotta admit: in a month from now the whole world will stop to watch the second most important sports competition in the planet - the Olympic Games will always take the first place. The subject will be brought up everywhere, so get used to it. While you're trying to sleep on the bus, queuing in the supermarket, cashing up some money, watching the news, it doesn't matter: the World Cup will be there, trust me. It has been like that for ages.

I myself love competitions like this. I'm not a sports addict, have never been. I do enjoy football, though. Mostly my beloved Brazilian team, Gremio - if you support "Inter", do not hate me, please! Moreover, the Fifa Cup is not only about the sport itself: it is about bringing people closer. Patriotism is suddenly brought alive. People seem to fall in love with their country - leaving all corruption, poverty and injustice behind - and that feeling of overcoming obstacles every game is spread all over. I do not know if it is a selfish feeling that motivates people, though: we HAVE to be the champions, we have to overcome the others. I don't personally feel like that. I prefer to feel passion, gratitude and nice feelings toward my country.

As much controversial it may sound, I do not LOVE our national team. Never have. Specially this one, Dunga's one. I don't feel connected to the players, they haven't been part of my life. Some of them I do not really know or never heard of. Victor, Gremio's goalkeeper, is not part of this group anymore. I felt a bit upset, I admit it. It is sad to see that no matter how good you are, sometimes things don't depend entirely on us. In Victor's case, Dunga didn't want him, although he has been elected the best in his position for the last two years. Hope Dunga doesn't regret it, that's all. Going back to my feelings toward our National team, I do not think I'll be really enthusiastic about their matches: I'll watch them because it's part of the ritual and, of course, I'm Brazilian and want my team to win - even though I think Argentina deserves the title much more than us. By the way, have you seen Messi playing recently?

Patriotism aside, I reckon this Cup will also be a good chance for people to get to know South Africa a bit better. I have already lived there and strongly recommend any of you to pay them a visit whenever you have the opportunity. It is a lovely country, with breathtaking views and an amusing multicultural people which cannot be found anywhere else. I hope people start viewing things from a different perspective from now on. The idea that Africa - the continent - is an incredibly poor and useless place should be changed for good, hopefully. If most of our culture and our relatives came from there, why can't we pay them a bit of respect and admiration, then? Some food for thought here.

If only I had a crystal ball now, I would be able to know who will the champion be. And also know what repercussions and benefits South Africa will take from this. I don't have super powers, though. I can only make assumptions. I place all my bets in Diego Maradona's team. I'd say Spain might be one of the favorite for the title as well. Brazil? Don't think will go too far. Maybe if it relies on luck, then, my friends, anything can happen. In the meantime, we can support, scream, yell, cry, curse, laugh, argue and hope for the best. The time has come. Have a seat and enjoy the show. And, please, do not forget that there will be an election in October in Brazil. Focus, if you don't lose it, there's no problem in joining the crowd. Good luck, Brazil!
