Aaaaaaah, el fútbol! Una cajita de surpresitas, siempre!
First rule of football rivality in South America: There is no way
brazilians and argies get well inside the pitch.
Second rule: believe truthfully in the first rule and never make any kind of predictions before a match between Brazil X Argentina.
Third rule: believe truthfully in both rules above.
It's all about passion. It doesn't matter what kind of game or competition or sport is Brazilian and Argies always have a special rivalry between the nations. In football it can be called battle. Some jokes, healthy banters, not so friendly matches between them and there we go…
It's a fact that Brazilian footballers have more cups, more stars on TV ads, more tradition, but nowadays NOT more skills than their players. It's true! Is on Tv, anywhere. The Argentinean players are more skilled.
It's difficult to disagree. Especially when in this America's Cup (a pretty much important tournament that finished today) Argentina seemed to want to show us that they have a great team ready to beat anyone, especially the Brazilian team.
They have Riquelme, Messi e Tevez. WOW In the bench: Crespo! WOW more skills than our poor team that with Dunga as a coach has Robinho as the unique "star" and also has Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Kaká denying (what a shame!) the fifth times winner of a World Cup t-shirt. Yes, Brazil, of course.
Argen-skilled-tina came to the Maracaibo's pitch believing truthfully in the second rule and pretty much sure that they would show us they are the best.
The most/best/funny provocative thing they did (and they are very good at it!) was the wonderful and also hilarious cover of the Argentinean daily ole.
happy skilled people
Who does have fun with it? They are good, Ole is probably the most provocative football daily paper EVR and I am pretty fun of them. You all have to agrre that it's necessary to be very creative to write (funny) things as : hoy, la final es contra unos de camiseta amarilla.
As a journalist I miss this kind of sense of humour in our sport journalism. I would like to have a gonzo-sport-journalism like this. We also don't have.To sum up, WE kind of like this kind of provocation.
Make us believe (accept is the right word) for a while (just today) in a team with Dunga, Elano, Vagner love (we play with love, mates!) and Doni, as a goalkeeper. BY FAR less skilled than the happy "Coco" team (check the photo of ole again. They look happy,huh?)
Well, we won again. 3-0 No mentioning I DIDN'T see Riquelme, tevez or Messi playing today. We didn't (this Dunga team did not, definitely) have the bets players in the pitch today, or even the best daily magazine/paper/whatever of this Sunday, but the America Cup is AGAIN ours. Even we won't get rid of Dunga. It is cool!
But perhaps today, the best joke was ours: the referee is married to a Brazilian woman and we DIDN'T need him to win. LOL
Gracias hermanos y Saludos desde unos de camiseta amarilla!
The truth is one:NOBODY here in Brazil could predict such result against Argentina.I didn't like how our team played until this match.We lost the first one against Mexico and displayed a very poor
game onwards.This is a fact. Argentina still has the best players in the world,I've got no doubts whatsoever about it,but yesterday,Dunga's malevolous scheme put an end on Messi,Tevez &
Riquelme's game. I'm happy for this!
Argentina is better the everybody... except of Brazil!! It'll be this way forever!
Aguante Argentina or Aguardente Argentina? hahaha poor him. Buy an argentinian for the price it worths and sell it for the price they think they worth and you will become rich. Fat, drugged Maradona,
has never been a better player or even a better person. He is a loser trying to kill himself because he cannot support the weight of his vanity and knows will never overcome the Greatest Pele. Better
than Maradona we had many in Brazil: Garrincha, Didi, Zico, Dinamite, Romario, etc just to mention few... Keep training maybe some day you will be able to beat the Soccer Gods...
Rick, You are an idiot, there is only ONE MARADONA, and was the greatest ever, more than your fuckin brazilian players and argentina has a more beautiful football now that your poor looser "copa
america" team, you are the enviest of argentina.
John, Diego Armando Maradona, is NOT better than Pele. Get that through your Argentine head, retard!
shawn, you fuckin brookling scum, MARADONA WILL BE NUMBER ONE for ever, been u from NY tell us every thing, you have no clue about football, you want to have an opinion about pele vs maradona, why
don't u keep playing baseball. By the way I'm from germany you ugly american ignorant.
Mark just b/c your german doesnt mean you know more soocer than an American. On the subject Maradona x Pele, the Argetine is more skilled but he isnt the better player. you canot seperate his drug
abuse from soccer. As a soccer player your responsibilities lie in being in good physical condition, and for a player of Maradonnas importance he is also a role model he cant be doing things like
that. Think please how shameful it would be to say the best player of my country is a junkie.
arturo, you want to talk about sport skills or personal problems maradona is not a role model, he came from a very poor home with out high education, spoiled by fame and napoli, that's maradona the
man but as a player, the best of the world ever
arturo I'm sure you are mexican or colombian, the way you kiss brazilian asses and you want to know way, because eihter countries are big loosers.
ja, ja, ja....es asi kevin los mexicanos y colombianos le dan siempre el culo a los putos brazilenos.
rick, you mother fucker...argentina has 1000 times better players than your fuckin 3rd world country Brazil, the only thing you can talk in your fuckin country (Brazil) is about soccer, how about
your poverty, corruption, prostitution, are you proud of that, fuckin brazilian...

about the 2nd rule, you can predict a Brazilian victory :) I wonder what will be in Ole´s cover tomorrow if Argentina also loses to Mexico in the U20... maybe the Field Hockey win over Brazil in the
Pan-American Games? Fantastic match by Brazil, easy win, and the America is ours again!
