maybe he's just pretending not to care so he can then beat brazil by surprise. he's always trying to mindfuck the opposition, ha ha ha. but yeah while he has a point about the suffering and disappointment, fuck it---i still like the matches.

and maybe brazil finally redeems itself and somehow puts together a coherent team (too little too late but eh, i'd still be curious)

^^as was saying! (maybe it's south american telepathy)

uruguay was great that year, cheating included. and forlán got the golden boot.

I really liked this one, it was a bit more revealing than the USA Belgium one..

(i don't agree with him that it was a dull match though, maybe because i cared about the result so for me it was tense and thus emotional, in spite of no goals--and a great midfield battle--very careful and few mistakes)
