Football is serious stuff in Brazil. We don't forget it very easily a defeat.

In the sad afternoon on July 1998 France beat us 3X0. Ronaldo was kaputt since then. I packed my Brazilian. Wrapped up on the newspaper with the news that we've lost and wrote: "To be opened in 2002". Opened it up last week.

I opened it up to wear it again for the day we would seek revenge. Well, I don't need. The French are out. Won no game. Scored no goal. It took four years for us to the pleasure to see the bloody French beaten.

We struggled to last game to gain a place on the finals. The French thought they just to have to enter the pitch to win. They ddidn't renovate. They kept the same old team. They came playing with high heels. They have their clocks cleaned.

My wife and my daughter are flying today to Thailand for the summer holidays. They booked the flight on Air France to fly over Charles de Gaulle wearing the Brazilian shirt all the way just to remind the French: We still remember the day they beat us back in 1998.

Today I'm Mexico. ARRIBA MUCHACOS!!! Perhaps we'll see Italy out.

As for Brazil they are very carefull. Saying that we have to respect everyone now. They are out to regain the self-stemm of losing 3X0 to France. Struggle to classify and go over Raonald failure. We'll see

Brazil will reach peak performance by the first game of the next round when all the players are at the same level of physical strengh and after being together for the last four weeks after coming from different countries and styles of training.

The whole 11 will be playing like an orchestra on the first game of next round.
