This Is This

Brazil played last night and they were amazing. I watched the match at work because I was there until 10pm, but I got to watch it with the biggest football fan I know, which was a fun.

The World Cup has been on nearly a week and everyone who has been caught up in the event has been waiting to see Brazil. In Glastonbury terms, it’s like the headline act on the Pyramid Stage. Sure, you’ve got your indie favourites that surprise and impress throughout, like the Aussies (go Cahill!!!) (except against England!!!) but come on - I mean - Brazil.

Ronaldo was rubbish, but it was good to see him. It’s like watching a Guns ‘n Roses gig. You want to see Axl, but when he comes out, it’s “OOOOoooookay. Dude. Please.”

Me and colleague were both laughing at the level of skill the Brazilians have. It always looks like Brazil have twice as many people on the pitch as everyone else. Their vocabulary of moves seems limitless but it has it’s own style. They are like a Charlie Parker solo.

I just hope we don’t come up against them, but if we don’t, and we DO win the World Cup, I wouldn’t think we were the greatest team in the world.
