C’mon lets Samba!

Brazil Team in the UAE!! WOW!!

Brazil Vs UAE! Ohoh!


I have to admit that I knew that Brazil in the UAE to play a friendly game with the national team means only one thing: UAE must have paid lots of money to get the Samba players here. LOTS and LOTS of money!


I also have to admit that I knew the result will be fixed. At least I knew that UAE must have paid the LOTS and LOTS of money after they made the Brazilians promise not to score more than 4 goals and not to score before the first 15 minutes.
And to add, I also knew that I would only watch the first half and then say what a stupid game and go to sleep.


The local fans knew that the game is about seeing the Brazilian team in their land, exchanging the t-shirts, and saying hey we played BRAZIL! That's why there were more Brazilian fans than Local fans in the stadium!! Of course another reason why there were more yellow flags than white ones is that who is stupid to cheer for a losing team?!


I watched the game because I always cheered for the Brazilian national team. I actually know more Brazilian players than the local ones (what ones…it’s only one Local player that I know by name and face, and another by face as he is the ugliest player I have ever seen!!!)


However, after the first goal (at minute 20), I was thinking, hey the UAE boys are doing well. I even jumped of joy when the ugliest player put a nice ball in the Brazilian net. And then sat in dismay when it was not counted.


The first half of the game was great, with only one Brazilian goal and few very good attempts from the national UAE team. So I decided to stay for the second half. This was not going to be a repeat of KSA vs Germany in the world cup (0-8!).


Which was not a great idea.


The second half started with Roberto Carlos off the field and on the sides. He was followed by Ronaldinho, Adriano and Cafu and new Brazilian blood has poured into the field... and pour it was!!!

After losing one man (stupid guy, don't know his name, and not interested to know it, got his second yellow in 30 mins), suddenly the local net was shaken by a goal then a goal then a goal then a goal then a goal then a goal then a goal.
Yes…seven goals in the second half all in the UAE nets.


And the result.... 8:0!


Do I still think the game was fixed?


Oh Yes!!!
It really could have been worse!!!
