AND, BRAZIL, WILL WIN AGAIN !!!


My very good friend and role model - Pele, said so.Her Excellency - the Brazilian President also said so. And guess what, nobody has disputed the statement. The Brazilian President said - "we will receive this cup with pride" With PRIDE? Aah well, easy now, President. Pride precedes destruction please and i don't have to remind you of the catastrophic "victory anthem" that was composed before the 1950 world cup finals, that took place in Rio de Janeiro.
But sincerely, expunge the word - pride, i believe that Brazil has the capability to win the 2014 world cup finals and mark my word, the cup is staying in Brazil. Uruguay, Italy, England, West Germany, Argentina and France, have all won world cups in their own countries. Brazil is yet to win as a host. I havel a very strong feeling that this is the time to do so. The July 16, 1950 tragedy notwithstanding.
After all, there is no more Mayor Angelo Mendes de Moraes, who " saluted the Brazilian victors" before the match, only for them to be defeated. Even the wooden goal posts of the 1950 Maracana stadium, especially the goal post that recorded the goal scored at exactly 4:33 pm by Uruguay's Ghiggia, have been burnt by Barbosa, the Brazilian goalkeeper in 1963, in a bon fire used to prepare barbecue in Barbosa's house, as an act of "liturgic purification". I believe such a "fateful final", as it has been referred to in Brazil, will never happen again.
It is also very certain that Brazil will not play in the accursed "white shirts", with blue collars, during this 2014 cup finals, as was the case in 1950. Never again!!! Any colour outside the colours of the Brazilian flag - blue, white, green and yellow, has been considered a taboo and  not nationalistic.
Are these enough reasons for the cup to remain in Brazil, after the finals? Maybe not.
With Filipe Scolari, supported by Mario Sagallo and those experienced tacticians/trainers and football psychologists handling the 'SAMBA BOYS', FIFA number one world ranking (i don't believe in the ku-dung rankings anyway and i have no apologies please) team - Spain, i assure you will go back home with 4 goals, this time around.
Take a good look at the Brazilian players and you are looking at futebollers  with exceptional football techniques, breath-taking masterly display of football skills, that make you experience "football orgasm" (no porn please), if you are a genuine lover of beautiful football a.k.a. jogo bonito. Please mention a match since Luiz Scolari and Zagallo took over the team, that the Brazil did not dominate possession, either in victory or defeat.
Okay Paul, are these still enough reasons for Brazil to win? NO!!!
The primary reason for the success of Brazilian football victories is guess what - GOD!!!
Brazilian footballers believe in HIM.
