Braziliant!!!
Did anyone catch the, not too early in the day showing of the the Confederations cup final? It was the only game of the tournament where I watched all 90 minutes (I kept telling myself 'just wait for Brazil vs Spain', and I got my wish :)...I admire Spain's style of play, sometimes, i.e. when they actually decide to play with a bit of verve and excitement instead of passing it around the center circle for 89 minutes, and I think they have great players like Iniesta and Jordi Alba (you can check out my Fernando Torres painting here)but it was great to see the true masters, Brazil, re-affirm, if only on the confederations cup stage, who the original and best footballing nation is.
Neymar was brilliant, and tormented the Spanish defence, the goal line clearance by David Luiz was breath-taking, and the crowd were something else. I loved the way they shut off the music for the national anthem towards the end of it and just let the whole stadium do the rest. Here's hoping Brazil can keep this up and put on a really good showing at the World Cup
