Marchons, Marchons......


Ok... i know. I know. Shit, crap, etc. It did happen. Brazil lost to France. Again. Unbelievable. Just.... ridiculous? Pathetic? What's the word I am looking for here......
I can't really explain it that well, since the game was a joke, kind of similar to 98's final. I mean, Jesus Christ. We have the best players in the world, with the small little detail that they don't actually play. They just stared at Zidane today, basically. Barthez had to move once, in the entire 90 minutes. Once. How pathetic is that?
And as France moved, Brazil complained, stared, yelled, or not even that. They just seemed to be perplexed themselves of how bad they were playing, and not even trying to fix it. Like when you stare at a car accident but don't really try to help? You are just so seduced by your own voyerism and perplexity that that is all you can do. And Zidane. Jesus. Zidane just played.... beautifully. I don't know the names of the plays in English to mention them here, but it was just beautiful to see it. He knows what he is doing, and that's all it took today.
The other thing that bothered me, apart from the laying down and not fighting at all, was the fact that they didn't even cry. 2 or 3 did, and that's it. The rest just, left, mumbling curse words and maybe pretending this didn't actually happen. And that's all. The English cried!!! I mean, the English! They sat down on the field and cried. What did most of our stars do? Just walked away, like it was no big deal, or maybe trying to run away from that, and for knowing you are going to have to explain that veeery soon.
Some of them tried, but too few, and not enough. And what else is there to say? They didn't play, and France did. Like someone told me today: what can we do if they didn't wanna win? if they didn't wanna play? the answer is, not much. They lost, and the our sixth star and our golden team will have to wait 4 more years for another chance. If they'll decide to take it, we don't know yet. But anyway, it's 4 more years. So for now, adiĆ³s hermanos, farewell to the english knights, and bye bye Brazil. E avante Portugal! - what else can we do here, right? So, let's move on and find someone to blame for this.....
ps: thiiiiiiiis is why I don't like football, now I remember. Or competitive sports, for that matter. Or better yet, in a more general sense, this is why I don't like getting my hopes too high. Just furthers the fall. In Murphy we trust.

And they all cry in the Brazil. A team is the image of his technician, who unfortunately was silent in the bank contaminating the team with his apathy.
Oh, Ronaldo! He is really fat.
Embraces.
