Quote of the Day:

“We have to stop. Brazil isn’t the best and hasn’t been for many years. We have to see what is ahead in the future.”

~Carlos Eduardo Barata, a drunken aficionado commenting on the Mineirazo

  1. World Cup Soccer is such a
    World Cup Soccer is such a peek into the dark tribal heart that still animates most people. Look at all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over a game with a ball. Whole countries go into mourning and depression. The more present media coverage – at least for Americans now – is holding up a mirror to the degree of foolishness that is involved in being an old fashioned war mongering tribal bible aficionado. It’s a good thing!

    1. Tribal
      I completely agree that it’s a very tribal thing. Ideally all sports would be the violent-less sublimation of our ancient war-mongering urges, translated into a celebration of athletic excellence.

      Unfortunately, they are far from it. And in the case of Soccer, the World Cup hides away the nasty underbelly of corruption & obscene profit that is FIFA.

      So the World Cup will be over next week, and Brazil suffered its greatest loss in history gone are also the re-electing aspirations of president Dilma Roussef. What’s more, I predict there will be more riots & clashes after the Brazilian people realize they basically invested their whole future just for the ‘honor’ of hosting the Cup.
