This morning was a very bad Tuesday for the people in Brazil. One more time the Brazil soccer team didn’t do a good job at the Olympic Games and let the gold medal escape from their hands.

The games was ugly in the first half, none of the teams took the risk to go full power to attack. They knew that one detail would determine the winner of the match. The second half was better for Argentina which scored in the beginning with De Maria.

After suffer the goal Brazil kind of wake up in the game and try to push Argentina. Rafael Sobis with a amazing kick hit the post and Brazil tied the game.

Argentina took the advantage of a weak Brazil team and scored again with Agüero. After suffer the second goal Brazil started to make a lot of wrong passes and comit faults.

Penalty for Argentina

Brazil tried to react, but Argentina defense worked efficiently and did not leave Brazilian move, ending with the dream of Olympic gold. Agüero still had time to suffer a penalty. Riquelme kick in the middle of the goal and kill the game for Brazil.

Presenting a good soccer skills Brazil had a impressive victory against China, Diego and Thiago Neves(2) scored to Brazil. The victory gave Brazil the lead in the group C with 9 points.

On August 16th Brazil will face Comoros in the quarter final of the competition. It brings the Brazilian people a  very bad recollection when Comoros eliminated Brazil in the quarter final of the tournament 8 years ago in the Olympic Games in Atlanta, USA.

At that time Ronaldinho was only 20 years old and used to wear the jersey #7, the coach was Vanderley Luxemburgo. The game was equal during the regular time and Comoros won the match with a “golden goal”.

Brazil has never won a gold medal for soccer in history. This is the only title missing from Brazil soccer team collection.

Brazil faced Argentina yesterday for the World Cup 2010 qualifies and tie 0 to 0. The fans didn’t like what they paid for and booed the team the whole game, specially the coach, Dunga. After the bad result against Paraguay last week Brazilian fans were expecting a different game yesterday.

With the last results Brazil occupy the 5th place with 9 points in the qualifies. With only 50% of the points disputed Brazil’s position isn’t good because today Venezuela is going to face Chile and who else wins the match will pass Brazil in the qualifies.

Only the first four teams guarantee the participation in World CUP of South Africa 2010, the fifth team will need to face one Concacaf opponent to the last spot, something that never happened with the Brazilian National Team, the only one to participate in all editions of the World Cup.

Bad situation for Dunga

The situation isn’t worrying the coach Dunga who participated in three World Cup edition as a player. “You should’ve seen the numbers in my participation. The qualifies didn’t end today, we are only in the sixth round of 18. In 2002, we had difficulties and in 1994, too.”, he said.

Asked if the result against of Argentina threatens his stay in command of the Brazilian National Team, Dunga has shown irritation. “This question was addressed to the wrong person. You have to speak with Ricardo Teixeira (president of the Brazilian football confederation), who is the boss,” he said.

As if the fiasco Brazil soccer team played in the USA tour exhibition wasn’t enough, they did no better in the match against Paraguay in the World Cup 2010 qualifies. In the last 10 days this is the second consecutive loss for Brazil soccer team.

The game

Even though Brazil had an extra player through the whole second half, it wasn’t enough to score against Paraguay. The Seleção Canarinho didn’t play good and lost again. With the loss, Brazil went to 4th in the Conmebol qualifies while Paraguay leads with 13 points out of 15 disputed in this year qualifies.

Roque Santa Cruz and Salvador Cabañas were the ones who scored against Brazil in the match. They’re very known for Brazil players, specially Salvador which has been a threat to Brazilian clubs at Libertadores da America Cup.

In the next match, Brazil will face Argentina at Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte, MG. Argentina has 10 points in the qualifies after tie 1 to 1 against Equador today.

Hope

With five titles, Brazil is the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have participated in every World Cup tournament to date.

That is the first time in history that Brazil lost a soccer match to Venezuela. They play against each other 18 times and Venezuela has scored only 4 times before this game. The game took place at Gillette Stadium (House of Patriots) in Boston.

Brazil 0 x 2 Venezuela

The Brazilian players didn’t show the same performance as usual and Venezuela dominates the match. The first goal of the game was scored by Maldonado at 5 minutes in the first half. The second goal of Venezuela came after an error of fullback Henrique, Vargas moved through, passed Luisão and kicked in the left corner not giving any chance to Doni.

The Brazilian players were booed the whole time during the game, the fans were very disappointed and some of them left the stadium before the game ended.
