Don't know about the news in your country, folks, but here in Brazil, the press just bomb us with meaninful news like "Ronaldo went to bathroom", "Ronaldo had a fever this morning", "Ronaldo ate onions and bread at lunch", "Ronaldo will start the game versus Australia". Seems like the press are trying to hide every single absolution that the National Congress made for the members of the house of representatives that stole millions of dollars from health, education and other government investiments. Yeah dudes, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. And here in Brazil it's MANDATORY to pay taxes (38% of our payroll - MONTHLY) to be stolen. It's like burning our own money. I think all this thing about Ronaldo in brazillian press are because of the presidential elections this year...
So - World Cup - Great Brazil is the only country that is 5 times world cup champion. Don't know if we have THE BEST TEAM, but we sure have very good players. I'm just sad that 5 world cups didn't make my beautiful country a better place to live and work. Cheers Rafael Mauricio Nami 2006/6/16, Frank W. Zammetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You wouldn't want us to invade just because of the name of a game, would you? And we will, oh yes, we will! So, you can go change the name of your game, Football is ours nw!
