Well...
Talk about being torn about this game... Brazil will always be my all time favorite, men or women, they invented the jogo bonito.
Yes, I admit that I only saw a summary of the game, but on the other hand you can not excuse the fact that the Brazilians did not score a single goal.
The Brazilian goalie did slip, but the American striker was there to realize.
Do you know that most of the best "gifted" strikers usually seem to be "lucky" yet the real fact is that most of this strikers have the "wisdom", "eye", "gift" --call it what you will, not everyone has it... and in the end, you win a match --and a World Cup, by scoring more goals than your opponent.
The point being here that you can not win World Cups with "hopes" expectations" and "almost made it" You win World Cups with goals and the US got two today... the Brazilians none.
Yes, I agree with you, they must improve their game to win the final, and by the little I saw of the crushing defeat the Norwegians suffered at the hands of the Chinese, they better do what you suggest, otherwise they are "cooked rice"...
Nevertheless, The US won.
As for Christmas gifts.... I am not sure, however, I will grant an Oscar, on the second goal <g>. |
