Brazil-Argentina match was not football
Football is the game of goal. It is the most exciting and wonderful sport. Though China is the home of soccer, England is the architect of modern football, while Brazil have charmed the world by their most astonishing and amazing skills, which appear to be the past.
As for example, Brazil and Argentina played rugby instead of soccer last week in a World Cup Football 2022 qualification match in Argentina. Each side committed 21 fouls, instead of giving attention to scoring goals. All the South American teams except few play rugby to pave the way for the Europeans to capture the World Cu more and more.
I can predict that no South American nation will win the World Cup any more. After 2002, Brazil could not enter even in semifinal because of crying for money.
Uruguay became last page of history in 1950, Argentina in 1986 and Brazil in 2002.
In this connection, I further want to say that Neymar and Messy are not enough for a team to become champions in the UEFA League. It is because that the Europeans are faster and sharp shooters.
To win again, Brazil need players like Gilmar, Santos, Ramos, Zozimo, Nilton, Zito, Didi, Garrincha, Zagallo. Vava and Amari. Will the Brazil Football Confederation try for them?
