Good morning my friends. How are you? I hope you are doing well and enjoying the final games of the World Cup. I totally agree with the headlines that the Semifinal match Netherlands – Argentina was boring! Come on, I expected more of this game instead it went to penalty shoot outs. Sure, I also agree the hero of the match is goalkeeper Sergio Romero and not Lionel Messi. Romero saving 2 penalties and showing the “grinta” to encourage his teammates to believe until the end. Argentina will play the final against Germany on Sunday at the Maracana.
Headlines also on the ongoing “He says, they say” for the election of the Italian Football Federation and new Italy Head Coach. Reportedly, Juventus president Agnelli is being attacked and criticized by Macalli…. oh well, here is a whole mess…..
Just before I forget, I also agree 100% with the headline on why Brazil have fallen so low! Sure, the fact is that “the jogo bonito” has disappeared and Brazil no longer plays beautifully. Brazil far from being the feared team has become a joke… Brazil should take a pause and go back to their jogo bonito. Let’s see how it goes in the game for the 3rd place against Netherlands… come on… minimum, Brazil must win this game.

Messi and Robben disappoint: Argentina and Netherlands a blocked and boring game. The South Americans resolved on penalties thanks to the Sampdoria goalkeeper. In this way two continents in the final. And two Pope’s…
