So, there was no way we
could skip the World Cup in Germany 2006. Because the gods of soccer are
from Brazil, no matter what land they play in. Enough said, let's get to
business, I mean, expectations.
Five-Time
Champions of the World... Going on Six
In Brazil, the land of
soccer, the expectations are always high in World Cup years, but this time
around, there is an overwhelming optimism towards the national team’s
chances. Why? Well, let’s go back in time a little.
We were the champions
in 1994, in the USA Championship. In 1998, in the France World Cup, Brazil
was the runner-up in a very “strange” match against team France.
Until today, there is
some mystery about what really happened to Brazil in the last game. After
all, we were the best team, with the best players, needless to say the
favorites.
This year the championship goes back to Europe with World Cup in Germany
2006. And Brazil
wants to prove it is still the best.
The
Masters of Soccer
The Brazilian supremacy
is unanimous around the world. We have the best players on the planet. For
the last 12 years, seven Brazilians have been elected best player of the
world by (1)
Fifa (Fédération Internationale de Football Association).
In 2005, Ronaldinho
Gaucho, a Barcelona Club player,
was first and Ronaldo,
also a Barcelona Club player, was third. Ronaldo
was elected best player
in 1996, 1997 and 2002.
Brazilian athletes
playing in Europe have been accomplishing great results in the
strongest and largest Europeans clubs. The present generation of
Brazil’s players is one
of the best in the past few decades.
It is a of mix young
men with outstanding talent and potential like Robinho, Kaka, Adriano
amongst others, with successful and mature athletes like Ronaldinho,
Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and so on. It is a powerful combination.
In the clubs world
championship, São Paulo Football Club defeated Liverpool, from England.
Besides that, São Paulo is also South American Champion.
In June, at the World
Cup in Germany 2006, the gods of football will be reunited in one of the
biggest parties on earth and will decide if, once more, the
(2)
canarinhos will be crowned emperors in the world of soccer.
