Venezuela 2 – 0 Brazil: Shame is Green and Yellow
By: Bruno Romani | June 6th, 2008Right on CBF!
Keep trusting the national team to your good friends instead of capable professionals.
Keeping selling the national team for huge amounts of money that are NEVER invested back in Brazilian football.
And, most important of all, trust the national squad to players more concerned about themselves than the yellow jersey.
That’s all. Everything else is history.

Ya! What a shameful exhibition! Brazil football is descending. Dunga! Please forget your olympics dream. With this kind of standard, you won’t get past the first stage.

Dunga put out a good starting team (on paper at least). But the players thought they could stroll past Venezuela without breaking sweat. Obviously, it didn’t turn out to be quite so easy. Venezuela deserved the win. Their players wanted it more. Most of the Brazilians, with the exception of Anderson perhaps, didn’t really put their heart in it. But the real problem is these ‘meaningless’ friendlies that don’t appear to be a challenge. if Brazil win, it’s what everyone expects. but if they don’t perform well or lose the team gets pilloried. Every side loses games they’re expected to win with ease – even Brazil! But I’m sure everything will be forgotten with a win over Paraguay in a match that counts for something.

Shame in and out of stadium. After 54.000 brazilians took a day off, paid at minimum US$40.00, plus fee, plus parking, we got a bunch of a drunked playes in the filed.
What a f… shame… What do I say to my son, who is a proud brazilian teenager living in America???? That Robinho and Adriano just closed a Brazilian Restaurant, drunk a lot, and did not play a f… thing in the field becouse (Robinho and Adriano) don’t give a shit for us, Brazilians…??? Or I shuld say that Dunga is an Ass hole, who did not a thing about, that their are rich and snobbs??? Or shuld I say that the brazilian official team is just a image of the actual brazilian government??? They sold themselves for so low…Posted from

Regardless of the whole soccer/futebol scene, I STILL LOVE BRASIL !!! Have been there twice, hope to buy a little apartment in the Urca neighborhood sometime soon; Brazilians are among the most wonderful people I’ve ever had the experience to enjoy — the Al Capone chain makes lousy pizzas, but, no problem… Mister Pizza’s okay!
Life is good. Now, if only the national team were able to crank it up a little…?Posted from

How about giving some credit to the wonderful Venezuelan team..? Has anybody thought about the possibility of the Venezuelan team getting better and better, working really, really hard, putting a lot of effort and passion into it? That sounds really arrogant and stupid to me to expect that Brazil would have to be an “invincible” team, supposed to win every single game against every team of the world for ever… Venezuela may be a young team, but they have worked really hard, and have made tremendous progress. And just to let you know, we are EXTREMELY PROUD of our players, and had a great celebration all over the country. Venezuela didn’t win because of the Brazilians being drunk. Venezuela won because they trained very hard, and did not get intimidated… If you guys are going to be such sore losers, unable to accept the merits of others, and unable to tell your sons “hey, Venezuela won today because they played better and deserved to win, eventhough their players are not famous millionaires”, you shouldn’t even show at the stadium. Just save your money and your time…

invincible against poor Venezuela is mandatory for Brazil. No matter what you say.

Only a very narrow mind with no understanding of the world would fail to recognize that the world is an ever-changing matter. The ones who were losing yesterday may be the winners tomorrow, and some who looked like Gods yesterday may become terrible losers now… There is no such thing as “invincible” in sports, even against “poor” teams. History will teach you a lot (if you dear to read it). History and knowledge will also make you humble, and the more humble, the better person you’ll become. Teach that to your son, and you’ll be a better father. You’d better become better adapted to change in life, or you’ll continue to be the loser you already are. And, by the way, your chat room really stinks… I’m not coming back.

Venezuela 1 Uruguay 1 (played in Uruguay!!!! – today 6/14/08). I guess shame comes in all colors. In case you don’t know much about Uruguay, and think Uruguay is another “poor team”, read below (from the FIFA site):
Uruguay is one of the most successful national football teams in the world. They have won two FIFA World Cups, including the first ever World Cup in 1930 as hosts, beating Argentina 4-2 in the final. They won their second title in 1950, upsetting hosts Brazil 2-1 in the final match. They also won the Gold Medals in football at the Summer Olympics twice, in 1924 and 1928, before the creation of the World Cup. They have also won the Copa América fourteen times, tied with Argentina, for most in America. They also won the 1980 Mundialito, a tournament among former World Cup champions Uruguay hosted in 1980 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first World Cup. Their success is amplified by the fact that the nation has a very small population. Uruguay is the only country in the world to win a World Cup with a general population of under 4 million inhabitants. The second smallest country to have won the World Cup is Argentina with a total population of over 41 million people.

These are the names: Ronald Vargas, Giancarlo Maldonado and Juan Arango. Write them down. All born and raised in Venezuela… You will keep hearing about them.

Fernando, i do agree with you that Venezuela is improving. They played the game with the heart and pride for the country. Only Brazil is descending. They are playing with self importance and pride for their own club or maybe night club.
