Break's over, mates!

Finally, Brazil got kicked off the World Cup. Honestly, I was wishing for them to fail for several reasons:

  • It wouldn't be funny. They got enough titles. It'd be just like Formula One was a couple of years ago, when no one could threat Michael Schumacher.
  • The team was playing quite bad. But we can't appoint a single cause for that. The players wanted just to break their personal records, the coach was stubborn and folks like Ronaldinho and Kaká were thinking they could do exactly the same thing they do on commercials.
  • The team didn't had a great retrospect either. Except for the matches against Argentina in the Confederation Cup Finals and Paraguay for the World Cup Qualifying Rounds, the team didn't prove it could go very far.
  • One would be very naïve to believe we had a "Superteam". A machine needs several different complimentary types of parts, and it's simply unconceivable in modern football sending a side to the field where only 3 players were active markers and the rest would just stay stopped on the field until growing roots.
  • It'd be a shame if Zidane just retired playing so gracefully against such a feeble team.
  • I placed a bet on France, they were paying 18:1.
But anyway, at least now we, as a country, can focus on what really matters. We got presidential elections coming, and we must take a little more active stance, and work for our future. We must get rid of the "pervert white elite" and the "comrades". We must tell them we ain't peons and make them do what we actually need, even if it means we will have to resort to "unlawful" means.

We have a World Cup only every four years, but we need to make huge efforts to put this country on its tracks everyday, and winning the World Cup won't feed none of us.
