in other countries, their best athletes play futbol. Here, our best athletes play football and basketball. Where are our enforcers on defense? Where are our 6'5" players who should be winning every corner kick in the air? Germany has them. Brazil, no, but they have players whose lives are devoted to futbol and who have been playing from the time they could run. And we all remember what Germany did to Brazil last time. Their technicians, dispassionate and skilled, played as a team, contested every ball, and destroyed Brazil.

In Brazil.
