Yo Brazil, What Happened Bro?

I'm not in Brazil right now, but I can't imagine anyone there looks anything other than like this. Everyone's worried about rioting or civil unrest after the loss. How could you even have the energy for civil unrest after that dismantling? No way I would. Probably just go home and have good cry or ponder my existence or something. No way i'd leave my house for like a week. And the worst part is, they didn't have their best player or their captain. They had every excuse to just go quietly out of the tournament and everyone just would have said "oh well you know they were missing some important players." All they had to do was not lose by 6 goals. Well so much for that. Millions of Brazilians sat and watched Germany drop a touchdown on them in their own country. Brutal. I guess in the end, Brazil just ended their World Cup run the same way they started it. Fucking terrible.

Unpopular Opinion: Brazil Deserved to Win

Brazil won it's first match in the World Cup last night, beating Croatia 3-1. First of all I don't know a whole lot about Croatia. The soccer team or the country. It's just kinda off my radar. But I have to believe they were never supposed to come close in that game right? I mean Brazil is the only country (and Spain now I guess) that I know is good at soccer for sure and are expected to do well in the World Cup. Plus it's their opening game and they're hosting the damn thing so this had to be like a warm up right? Like the first week of college football when Alabama gets to drop 200 on some community college in Nevada. Just to let everyone know what's what. 

Whether this was the case in this game or not, everyone's been whining about this penalty shot goal that gave Brazil the lead and how it was a dive and should never have happened and how it's fixed now. So was it a dive? 

Fuckin right it was. This guy is a dick. Plain and simple. The fact that you even have the balls try this when you're big bad Brazil playing against Croatia in the first game of the Wold Cup is about as low as it gets. 

But people are going nuts over this shit. Talking about how the game was fixed, and the guy took a dive, and how the Croatia team deserved to win the game. 

Yes they absolutely did deserve to lose! Sure the dive sucked and probably should not have been a penalty shot. But they lost 3-1! What horrible injustice led to the 3rd goal?  None, so fuck you. How about the fact that Croatia didn't even score a goal in the game! The only reason they didn't get blanked is because of this guy.

So yea that was a dive. And yea it probably should not have been a penalty shot. But hey that's "the beautiful game" for ya. That's just the way it goes. Deal with it.

Brazil Open Their World Cup with an Own Goal

This is Marcelo. I don't know if this is his full name? That wasn't clear. What was clear, was the goal he just scored on his own net in the first game of the World Cup that his country is hosting. Gotta believe this is the exact opposite of how they wanted to start. I wasn't in the Brazil locker room pregame, and if I was I wouldn't have any clue what they were saying. But I can tell you 10000000% it was not "put one in our own net before 10 minutes." 

But hey what do I know? I don't watch a whole lot of soccer. Good news is things can only get better for the host country, unless of course they fall into civil unrest like everyone predicts they will. That would bring the whole thing down.

But if things are really as bad as they say they are down there, I don't think we'll be hearing from our friend Marcelo for much longer. Especially if Brazil doesn't pull this one out.
