What a disaster! Brazil and Chile head to
head on penalties. I have “never” followed soccer, but Dr. Ed Winters convinced me there is a
philosophy of football and it is of major importance in our world. When Ireland
and Britain were finally out I got behind Brazil and Chile, (both lovely deserving
cultures), and Italy, the remote heritage of my lovely late Mother Pauline
Gotto. Brazil and Chile should have fought it out in the final; the commitment
of both of them tonight captivated even me, a sceptic who usually avoids football
at any cost. Brazil as world cup host deserves a break and it would be great to
see them take the cup, in my humble uneducated opinion.
