The thing about playing ugly

And so, the coach resigns, but who is complaining? After a disappointing World Cup 2006, Brazilian Coach Parreira has decided to resign..

Have anyone seen Brazil play this World Cup? We saw them on the pitch, but this was NOT the Brazil team i knew and remembered..





Back in those days, Brazil need not win every game to be famous, they naturally did, they thrill every crowd and leave opponents stunned at teh dexerity of their movements and skills with the ball, great names like Dunga, Tafferel, Rivaldo, Leonardo will be immortalised.. Ronaldo was great when he was at his prime.

On Ronaldo, i still have great respect for this man, but he must know when to step down, in the World Cup, he made a record but soiled a team of brillance, he was off.. he was un-brazillian, how sad, that a man of his stature is now reduced to a lonesome striker that has no desire to track the ball and make the runs, instead, he prides himself on stealthy approaches and clinical finishing, since when did Brazil play like this?

Now that the coach is gone, let this be a signal for the new era, where young bloods like Cichinho, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Robinho step up to regain the pride that is Samba Football.



Show us the sambal (and i'm not talking about chilli)
