Bah ... Brazil ... they only won because they play dirty, they cheat, they dive, they fall over, they waste so much time arguing with the officials whenever a call doesn't go their way.

I know what Zoomp is about to say so I'll say it for him ... yes I know your team won and yes I agree that for pure ball skills the Brazil front 3 are the best in the world. The Brazil defense is a bit average IMO but it got the job done.

My point is, that I used to like watching Brazil because of the raw skill of their players, but the whole spectacle is so spoiled this year because of the childishness and the poor sportsmanship shown by the players. Things like that outrageous episode with Ronaldo vs Turkey, and Ronaldinho standing up and arguing with the ref for so long after he got red carded in the England match ... and how many times did that Rivaldo take a dive in the tournament, even the neutral TV commentators were saying how disgraceful it was.

Don't go and start flaming at 'sore losers' again, I'm more like a neutral observer, my team didn't even get to the WC ... but I am a fan of 'the beautiful game' and it makes me sad to see it brought to that level of ruining the entertainment for the fans of all nations. It has to come back to the discipline the manager shows to the team, I heard that he encourages the players to foul on the opposition as much as they can without getting sent off, that is disgraceful if it's true. I hope Scolari gets sent packing and Brazil can start training to defend their title more in the true spirit of football in 2006.

Peace

Yeah good luck on that one... Brazil will always be driven by spoiled-pussy-child players. These guys have no honor.

well, imo Scolari was 70% of the team, cos he got the team in the worst phase and made they champions, maybe cos he didnt listen to all this bullshit that the media says " encourages to foul on " bla bla.. He believed in Ronaldo when everybody was saying that he was done, he didnt call Romario when EVEN the President wanted it, Scolari owns, and if was possible i'd like to see he at my team!
