Brazil Fans Burning Mad
Fans of Brazil’s football team are not used to seeing their team lose very often, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to react like upset fans worldwide. For some, their anger and disappointment was expressed through jeers as the team’s plane landed in Brazil. For others in the southern town of Chapeco, they expressed their feelings by burning down a seven-metre tall statue of Ronaldinho.
The resin and iron statue was installed in the town two years ago when the Brazil midfielder won his first World Footballer of the Year award. No word yet on the parties responsible for its destruction, but if I were investigating the incident I would be interrogating the executives at Nike right about now.

By Marcovici | July 4th, 2006 at 5:51 pm There-there now futebol fans, say what you want, but the Brazilian’s domestic foundation in the futebol arena will continue to place a national team. They will be favorites again. They will be back. Out with the old and in with the new. I expect Robinho, kaka, and Fred to return. I agree with al from the USA. Good luck to France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal.

By John Lierman | July 4th, 2006 at 5:59 pm Brazilian fans have the right to be mad. Brazil’ top stars played under-average for most of their games, Robinho should have played ALL THE TIME instead of porky Ronaldo. Ronaldinho was oversold by Nike and the media (the entire Brazilian team was) and was nothing more than a mediocre player. France played like Brazilians should have. Everybody waited for Brazil to deliver on all the hype, and …nothing in the end. I’m glad they are out of this World Cup.

By Tati | July 4th, 2006 at 7:12 pm I guess the good thing about Brazilians is that they’re not whining and blaming referees, France, or making any pathetic excuses. I think these guys lost graciously actually. They didn’t pick fights, didn’t throw bitter hissy fits and showed the respect due to their opponents. I think Brazilians need to pay closer attention to how some of the other losing teams are reacting and appreciate the fact that our team, at least, are acting like men and not whiny little boys. I think this works for our adavantage in that they’ll be working on improving their game and fixing their mistakes as opposed to some of the other teams who are blaming everyone and their sister and think they played perfectly and, most likely, will not have improved much 4 years from now.
I don’t believe for a minute that these guys WANTED to lose, who does? They’re living the dream playing in a World Cup representing their country. As much as I, as a fan, wanted them to win, I think they wanted it 10x more, and as disappointed and sad as I was, I think they were much more. These guys are under immense pressure from EVERYONE, not just Brazil. I mean, isn’t it bad enough the Argentinean press, as well as many others are having a great time kicking them when they’re down? Must Brazilians join them as well? Where’s the loyalty? They’re only decent people as long as they’re winning? They’re just human, people.
I hate the way the team played that last game, and for the life of me I’ll never understand why Parreira waited so damn long to make the changes that EVERYONE else knew had to be made– but what’s done is done. I have faith that, very much like it happened in 1998, this will be motivation for Brazil to make a comeback with a stronger resolve and determination. Maybe, hopefully, with time, the brazilian public will be a little more optimistic about this (lol one can only hope *sigh*).

By Steve | July 4th, 2006 at 7:14 pm Another team that was over-hyped, over paid, and overcome by the quality of the worlds soccer teams. Just because you are Brazil doesnt mean you can ignore the quality of international talent elsewhere in the world. Consider it a wake up call.

By pete | July 4th, 2006 at 8:01 pm Brazil is still the best team in the world, and will always be my favorite. No one has the evolved style on the pitch that the Samba team does. Best technically, best team play,best tactics. France was twice as tall as Brazil. Think about it.
Go back and watch the taped game, with the height differential in mind. They taught the world how to play the beautiful game. Be proud of your team. Support them.Tati was right that were gracious gentleman. Perhaps you could learn from them.

By Vico | July 4th, 2006 at 10:09 pm I like Brazil. I was hoping they would win it all since Mexico didn’t get past the round of 16, however, as much as they have the most talented players and the most successful of World Cup histories…they are not - as of right now- the best team in the world; if they were they would be playing in the tournament. It is irelevant whether France was a taller team, it doens’t matter; if you are truly the best at the time you’re supposed to prove to the world that you are,… then you get to the Finals and win the cup. Brazil didn’t do it. Hope they are back with a vengance in South Africa and win it all…tht is, if Mexico falters again.

By cariaco | July 5th, 2006 at 2:10 am The Brazilians think that they can win every World Cup with their selfish players…. They can’t play as a TEAM and the country should learn to expect failure from now on. Maybe if the Brazilians would keep their mouths shut, they wouldn’t jinx it.

By sdbhffkjgk | July 6th, 2006 at 3:35 am Brazil is still DEFINENTLY the best team in the world
besides everyone has a bad world cup sometimes…just like France had a bad World Cup in 2002….
Brazil will be back in 2010 and win it all….
every player on Brazil is AMAZING… ESPECIALLY Ronaldinho, and Kaka.
Ronaldinho and some other players on Brazil jst had a bad Cup this year….but they will definently be back in 2010 and win…..they are by FAR the best team in the World
By kofi | July 7th, 2006 at 7:54 am if it wasnt for the brazilian defence not marking henry i would bet u they would still be in the world cup. To everyone that says brazil is selfish, go watch the tape they pass more than any other team.
Ronaldhio played so has zidane in the world cup.
Brazil has been in 3 world cup finals in a row, they won 2. In 2002 they won all seven games and they won the first 4 in this world cup. Then they lose because they didnt mark frances best striker, that was a mistake and now they suck. Go find another team with that resume

By Basmah | July 7th, 2006 at 5:47 pm It’s really dumb to say that Brazil sucks,’cos clearly,they don’t. It just wasnt their World Cup.I understand that people are disappointed that they didn’t make it to the semi-finals, because people expect great things from them, but burning down statues is just going to far. People need to calm down and chill a bit, it’s just football! They are only humans and they can mess up, it’s life! Best of luck to them in 2010.
P.S They need a new coach.
By Tati | July 8th, 2006 at 12:42 am I agree with the above. At this point, I think the so called “fans” are more embarrassing than Brazil losing.

By john doe | July 10th, 2006 at 4:23 pm Brazil’s won more world cups than any team ever. They are still the power house of the world cup. They lose once and burn a statue to the ground? Their fans are a bunch of spoiled children. I hope Brazil never wins again b/c their fans don’t deserve it.
