Strong Germany stops Brazil in Women's final

Sunday, 30 September 07, 09:13 AM

I could never realise how strong a women team could be. I was amazed with the 'guts' and the determination the german players used to beat Brazil and their latent players in the Womens World Cup in China.

I congratulate the winners, specially the goalkeeper Angerer, unbelievable during all the tournament, but amazing in the final.

The other girls were in every ball and had a lot of patience to hold the pressure of Brazil in the first half. The fisrt chance for Germany was only in the second half, when Prinz (Ronaldo in skirts) scored her 14th goal in WC.

Cruel, but still fair. Congratulations Germany.

Marta meets Bergkamp and Edmundo

Saturday, 29 September 07, 07:41 PM

Marta's goal was amazing. I was watching the game and at the time, I thought about others goals similar to that one. Not really the goal, but the move, puting the ball one said and running by the other, but no by front but starting with the defender pressing them by the back.

I couldn't think of other two, both involving English teams. The first one was the legendary Bergkamp goal against Newcastle and the other was Brazilian 'Animal' Edmundo playing for Vasco against ManUnited at the fisrt Fifa Club World Cup in Brazil.

Enjoy all three

Marta

Bergkamp

Edmundo

Show time! Brazil (finally) learns how to play women's football

Thursday, 27 September 07, 09:19 AM

It was about time. But now it is official! No matter who is going to be champions on Sunday, between Brazil and Germany, the Brazilian National Team of Ladies is now a football team.

The victory against the powerfull north-americans, 4 x 0, in a World Cup semifinal, is the turning point moment for the sport in Brazil.

Brazil played with 'balls', but also with charm. Marta did what Ronaldinho not even got close in the last WC. Shined with the legendary yellow jersey number 10.

With no professional leagues to play in the country. With salaries like the one from Andreia, the goalkeeper, that is around 250 dollars/month, playing against the best in the World, better prepared, phisically strongers, more beautiful and rich american girls, our Brazilian squad made a lot for the sport in their country.

Show time! And a glorious day.
