Winning is good. Beating Argentina is just extra fun!! Brasil is football champion of the Americas today, after beating Argentina 3 to 0. Well, technically we were the champions yesterday too 'cause we'd won the last time around too, but that's just a detail. Oh, and it was against Argentina too... :-) It's even more fun 'cause we didn't play with our main team and Argentina did, so they were widely considered big favorites. Even better, then!!! :-)Even more impressing is that we won the volley world league. Twice: under-20 and overall. Both against the Russians. The impressing thing is that it's the seventh world title for us, FIVE OF THEM IN A ROW. Yes, that's right: it's the fifth time in a row that Brasil wins the world league. And the game wasn't even broadcast on freakin' television!!! That makes no fucking sense: OK, I know we are the football country
and all that shit (even though we got our asses kicked in the World Cup), but come on!!! How can you not broadcast the finals of the world championship when your country has already won four times in a row and is a big favorite for the fifth... it's just stupid, that's what it is...On top of that we got a few medals on the Pan American, including our first gold, that came for Taekwondo... congrats!!
But somebody please tell the guys that decide what's worth broadcasting on TV (open TV, that is... I don't have cable) that, when Brasil is playing for the sixth title in a row (eight overall) in the next world league, WE WANT TO WATCH IT!!!

Heck yeah!! you guys rule supreme! It was such a nice feeling to witness how you sent Argentina home, empty-handed...it made me so warm inside *sigh*...Seriously I DID watch the game (open TV, we live soccer triumphs vicariously here) and i was as happy as if Chile had won...maybe cuz part of my heart is with Brazil...anyhow, congrats, CAMPEONES DE AMERICA!
