I hate romance in sport. I hate art in sport. Sport is war. War is about winning.
Who gives a stuff about playing "the right way"? In sport, the end justifies the means, and the end is getting a result.
I like the German football team because they are as hard as nails, they play as a team (something that Brazil, despite all its talent, does not), they're disciplined, they're professional, they get the job done and they don't care whose toes they step on to do it.
I would be delighted if they fought, punched, scrapped and tackled their way to a 1-0 win.

Sure, romance is great in its place, but there's nothing romantic about Oliver Kahn.

Feigning from Rivaldo? Ahhh, someone use their brain, both of the highlighted times he's gone down he has exaggerated the incident sure, but dive? Nope.
Or is this just pussy sourgrape english supporters whining about getting demolished? How does it feel that the only goal was gifted from a Brasilian mistake, not good English play! Hahaaa.
No it isn't, not in my opinion. Manufacturing something is not as bad as exaggerating something, by a mile.Originally posted by moomba
Cheating is cheating. Feigning is just as bad as diving, and it is simply an attempt to get an undeserved decision from the ref at the expense of your opponents.
He went down grabbed his head half a dozen times? You're right, I mustnt have been watching too closely Moomba. In fact, you say he is far from being the only Brasilian player to do this, well Moomba that must be why the Brasilians won then hey? Maybe that's why they've won 4 World Cups too! Are you sure you arent getting confused with Totti moomba? Or is this just more sour grapes from a whinging whining sore loser pomm??If you think Rivaldo has only 'exaggerated' twice this tournament you musn't have been watching too close. He fell over grabbbing is head at least half a dzoen times against England alone. He is far from the only Brazilian player to do this as well. That is why I think Brazil are cheats, and Rivaldo is the king cheat.
I support them falling over? When did i say i supported the concept of any player falling over without provocation? Don't put words into my mouth please, that's a sentence I'd expect more from Dan26 not you Moomba.You talk about loving the 'beautiful' game played by Brazil, but express support for it's players choosing to fall over at every opportunity rather than go for the ball, and try to create scoring chances through their play rather than a free kick.

In the context of Rivaldo's 2 highlighted incidents, the first he had a friggin ball kicked at him Moomba jeez! I think if he'd done what he probably felt like doing he'd have gone over and smashed that smart ar$e turk in the head for kicking the ball at him, but for obvious reasons for the good of the team's WC plans he just couldnt do that. So he thinks stuff it, i'm going to get you your just desserts idiot, (go down, feign injury), red card haa haa sucked in smart man you deserve it buddyboy, seeya later tell your story walkin turkboy, bye bye idiot.
Wasn't a whole lot wrong with it in my opinion, other than he looked silly doing it.

And frankly, if you're suggesting Brasil would rather score from a free kick than play then you're kidding yourself. Same would go for me, nothing beats the beautiful goals set up by Brasilian attacking play.
Ahhh, Mr Ronaldinho ring a tune with ya there Moomba?
Haa ha go you Sambas!!!!!
