Day 25. What happened today in Brazil.
I'll take a day of rest and give you one from me and my ramblings and only say two things.
Luis Suarez's appetite for opponents' shoulders may end up being a good
thing for Liverpool as they go about spending the expected 70-80
million pounds they will get for him from Barcelona. After Lambert,
Lallana and Emre Can, now they look like they will get Lovren (Croatia),
Origi (Belgium) and Markovic (Serbia). And how many English players are
being bought by non-English teams? Makes you wonder....doesn't make you
proud...to play for England....(reference: 1982 England World Cup song B
side.....and don't go asking me what a B side is).
And as the
debate rages, between me and myself, about how Brazil, version 2014, are
nothing like Brazil version 1982 (who lost before the semis) this is
what Carlos Perreira said about Brazil 1994: (Perriera was the manager
in 1994, when Brazil beat Italy in the final, on penalties, and even
Brazilians were lamenting how un-Brazilian the team were. Perreira is
now the technical director with Big Phil) "The World Cup was a short
competition and we wanted to win it with the talents we had at hand. I
still hear we didn’t play beautiful football. But what is beauty? To me
it’s to be efficient. We were unbeaten champions and that will never
change.” Discuss and reflect as you think about Brazil's only player of
flair lying in a hospital bed somewhere while his team mates (Fred and
co.) try to make him a world champion.
