COPA DO MUNDO - JOGA BONITO!
JOGA BONITO!!!
In & Out of the field!!!
And, this my friends, is how we celebrate.... Music, beautiful people, and Samba.... I forgot! And lots of Caipirinha..
YES!!! The REAL World Cup has arrived!
And, I can't believe I'm stuck here.
Last night, I turned the TV to ESPN2 waiting for the "opening Ceremony" and .... nothing. Unbelievable!
Why nobody cares about Futebol and its opening ceremony????
I looked up on the internet and I saw at FoxSports that they said:
"The opening ceremony of the World Cup will have its dramatic moments - just not on the scale of the Olympics".
You see, the world cup compared to Olympics, AND, my friends, here in the US, we missed it. Unbelievable...
Look some of the things we missed:
- Pele presented at the opening ceremony; it looks like Maradona was also invited but he was "too busy..." - who cares...
- Pele brought the World Cup trophy on to the pitch of the Munich stadium with German supermodel Claudia Schiffer; now you whished you were watching....
- There were about 170 former world champions,
- The Bavarian 'Schuhplattlers' performed their traditional dance - and you missed it
In conclusion: Watch this and turn the volume ON!
Joga Bonito!

Unfortunately, sports like Futebol (also known as soccer here in America) and cycling are considered secondary sports here in America and get next to no recognition. It's such a bummer. I hope you get to watch your Futebol soon. Good Luck!
Oh, and my friends Brian and Amy are going to one of the games. I think it's the Costa Rica vs. Germany, does that sound right?
Late~
you can probably buy some expensive package to get it or something
or not
do they show it on the internet at all?
Actually, ESPN 2 and ABC will be broadcasting the games. So, I'm covered. Uhu!!!!
