Brazil vs singapore

Am I the only one who actually had a good time at the Brazil v. Singapore football match last night?


Maybe it helped that I can really feel atmosphere of the Brazilian noisemakers — the guys on the bongos, playing the samba; the ones screaming every time Ronaldinho touched the ball and the gals dancing(and though Brazil did play down the whole match, tooling around a bit with the Singapore Lions, there were still some amazing touches).






How often do you get to see a team of Brazil’s calibre in this region? Let alone see how the Lions pull their game together against them? It could have been a massacre — I’d predicted 5-0 score. But Singapore keeper Lionel Lewis made some solid saves, the Lions had control of the ball for at least part of the game, and Brazil didn’t embarrass us like they could have. but overall I give both teams credit for making my Monday night much, much more entertaining than it would normally be.


The brazilian fans cheering and dancing to the rythem of the beat of the bongo drums

Final score Singapore selection 0 - 3 Brazil olympic team.
Reasonable result from the Singapore selection. Anyway good luck to the Brazil Olympic team for the coming Olympic game at Bejing
