Just the hairstyles alone...I don't care if you're Argentina loaded with talent or Spain seeking a Euro follow-up or what. Brazil should have every team crapping in their pants right now.
Why? Because Brazil is playing this Cup like they do every Copa America... toying with the competition for a while, and then when the big silverware is on tap they demolish the competition 5-1.
Serious. Few countries know this more than the Argentina NT. If someone doesn't hack down Brazil before the final, it's going to be a demolition derby for the competition.
"FIFA should look into that [goal line technology] because they're hurting their credibility in this country [US] and that's where all the money is coming from"

What really pisses me off is that this is the American answer to every sport: jam it with technology and gadgetry, catering the sport exclusively to a TV audience that's buying your beer, cars, and financial services while they sit at home on the coach on their enormously fat asses, stuffing their faces with cheesy poofs. That's no more sport than a game of FIFA 2010 for the XBox with live actors.
I say "F*ck you!" to all those who aren't at the game and want the sport to cater to their instant slow-motion replay TV coverage eyes. "You ain't at the game, so just shut the f*ck up and keeping drinking your corporate-sponsored beer, fatass."
Where have you been, Fred? I've been saying that for 2-3 years now.
