The World Cup brings out much that is great about living in Brazil but also much that makes you wish you were somewhere else. There is a wonderful atmosphere in the weeks running up to the opening of the championship as shops, cafés and padarias (bakeries) start putting up flags and people sometimes even paint the pavements outside their houses with the national colors.

I can't listen to the commenators. They are as dimwitted as most of the store clerks and waiters in the country. As John says... Just listen for the fireworks to know whats happening or the lack of.But it is nice to see that there is a choice this time around to view the games on a differnet TV network than Globol

Makes no difference as Argentina is going to whip Brazil's ass this time out. Just take note of the way Ronaldo, Ronaldinho et al played . . . SAD! Ronaldo looks like he's had one too many pot pies and Ronaldinho would rather sell Health Insurance or Cell Phones than play ball. Sorry Brazil - Argentina looks motivated and they are gunning for you . . .

Come on! You cannot judge Brazil based on a first game. Brazil usually does not do well when starting - too much pressure.
By the other hand, Ronaldo easily gets yellow. That guy has talent but a messed up head. That proves how important is our emotional IQ in life.
Against Aussies we should see the real Brazil, bad or good.

World Cup in Brasil written by Guest,
June 18, 2006
I've lived in Rio for a couple years now so this is my first World Cup here. I've got to say that I love it. There is so much energy and for a person who didn't particularly care about soccer I've become hooked. So far I've only missed a couple games - they run on 2 of my cable TV channels - not PPV as someone said above. Brasil's first game was pretty bad - but not anywhere near as bad as the first USA game! Thankfully the US looked a hell of lot better against Italy yesterday amd hopefully Brasil will do better today against Australia. Let's hope Ronaldo gets his head straightened up-but I doubt it as he didn't look that good at yesterday's practice.

So the nationalism you approve, but the capitalism you disapprove. Interesting. Is it that he is offended by sleazy corporations constantly trying to sell things to the public that they don't need (e.g., expensive Nike shoes manufactured by child and other exploited labor), or that some Brazilians are getting rich cashing in on their popluarity? Clearly the latter. Again, interesting and somehow predictable.
By the way, if Fitzpatrick doesn't like sports heroes hawking goods, he'd love the USA. LOL. Here every megamillionaire athlete makes millions more whoring themselves to some corporate giant, and Americans apparently love it. Our nationalism is also obnoxious too, but unlike Brazil, it's dangerous. And while Brazil is moving toward a healthy democracy, we are heading toward a corporate fascist state.
Okay. I'll admit, I rooted for the US in the last game against Italy. I'm an American. But was sickened at hearing the chant of U-S-A by our (probably) mostly marshal fans who inhabit Kaiserslautern and other parts of Germany, and felt uneasy of how any victory would be taken and used by our fascist element (neocons and boneheads). But I digress.
As for Fitzpatrick's Brazilian flag, I feel quite certain that if Brazil had a mediocre team, He'd be flying the flag of some other nation (plus Scotland, of course). The greatness of the Brazilian team only helps feed his love-hate relationship with the country: love the winners, hate the players. Hey, there’s always something to hate about Brazil, right Fitzpatrick?

Fact is, too many Americans are obnoxious, egotistical, greedy f**kers. Thank God the USA is pretty lame in football is all I can say. No doubt, if we put enough money behind it, we'd be top notch. For now, we'll just have to suffer the enormous egos of basketball players, (American) football players, and golfers.

Listen, the U.S. doesn't have the history in "football", or soccer, that most other countries have, afterall, it is the SIXTH most popular sport in the U.S.
When one goes to a college sporting event, or a professional sporting event, one doesn't hear, "U-S-A!, U-S-A!". You hear chants for a specific team.
But when playing in an international event, the olympics, the world cup, etc, americans chant, "U-S-A", so what? We don't have a "soccer" song...lol. I hear MANY other nations chanting the name of their country as well....inlcuding brazil, why is it that many people get their ass twisted in a knot when americans chant for their team?
Does the sense of "national pride" from americans make you ill? Why is that? Because there are so many problems in america? And what about the others?
When the world cup is all over, americans will go back home, they'll continue to have their reality, the masses that have formal educations, abundant opportunities to better themselves, and countries such as brazil? They'll go back home, the rich in their houses surrounded by walls and iron gates, those with money will drive their bullet-proof cars to work while their children attend school with at least one bodyguard to avoid kidnappings, among the highest murder rates on the planet, worst record for unequal distribution of income in the world, one of the lowest minimum wages, opportunities only if you have "conhescimento", etc, etc.
If it makes you sick that americans feel a sense of national pride because there are so many problems at home, then you should be vomiting every time you hear the chant, "BRA-ZIL, BRA-ZIL."

Napoleon I Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, King of Italy (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a general of the French Revolution; the ruler of France as First Consul (Premier Consul) of the French Republic from 11 November 1799 to 18 May 1804; then Emperor of the French (Empereur des Français) and King of Italy under the name Napoleon I from 18 May 1804 to 6 April 1814; and briefly restored as Emperor from March 20 to June 22, 1815.
Over the course of little more than a decade, the armies of France under his command fought virtually every European power (often simultaneously) and acquired control of most of the western and central mainland of Europe by conquest or alliance until his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812, followed by defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, which led to his abdication several months later and his exile to the island of Elba. He staged a comeback known as the Hundred Days (les Cent Jours), but was again defeated decisively at the Battle of Waterloo in present day Belgium on June 18, 1815, followed shortly afterwards by his surrender to the British and his exile to the island of Saint Helena, where he died six years later.

The English knew all about Pearl Harbour, they had been tracking the Japenese fleet from the offset and had cracked their coded comunications and knew what they were planning to do. It was decided not pass the information on to the US.
Thus pull the US into the war, the only way the British government could see of getting some pay back on the high interest loans the brave US was sharking out to all those fighting a real axis of evil.
One of the most astute and ruthless descions made by Churchill.

this sites feedback area is about damaged US men trying to reach out to bigger world in the best way they can, which is a great shame for Brazzil.com
The World Cup brings out much that is great about living in Brazil but also much that makes you wish you were somewhere else. There is a wonderful atmosphere in the weeks running up to the opening of the championship as shops, cafés and padarias (bakeries) start putting up flags and people sometimes even paint the pavements outside their houses with the national colors.
