so the sambaboys lost the game. the match this morning was a bad dejavue of brazil's defeat to france in 1998. for a dieheart fan of Brazil, i have to admit that this morning's lost was heart wrenching. terribly heartwrenching. and definitely a bitter reminder of the past.
tears flowed in Brazil as well as in a HDB flat somewhere in the middle of bukitbatok.
what happened to brazil? was in complacency or just simply a lack of stamina and skill as compared to their french counterparts? the controversy exists. however, i wish to play no part in the blaming game because in my heart, brazil will always be the champions.
call me biased, but my honest opinion is that there is no other team that plays the beautiful game as well as Brazil. they play to inspire the spirit of true sport in the millions watching the game. playing with absolute enjoyment that come with the crafting of beauty. Brazil.
then the issue of sportmanship. i must say that they were absolute gentlemen on the field. from encouraging their opponents to smiling when receiving a yellowcard. this is what, i feel strongly, sport is about. and more specifically, what the world cup is about.
so to critics out there, enough of the blaming game. Brazil is not about blaming because true Sport is not about pointing an accusing finger at one another.
in their own way, Brazil had already triumped.
and thats why i'll keep supporting them.
