Football is the winner

All my life I have been a Brazilian fan. I like everything about them, their looks, hair- style, beautiful yellow and green Jerseys and most importantly the beautiful samba style of Football. But over the past few years, Spain with their ‘Tiki Taka’ style of football, have not only won back to back Euro and world Cup titles but the hearts and minds, as well of Goans and many others all over the world. The Europeans were normally considered to be more physical during play but Spain having most players from FC Barcelona have shown the world football that football is not only about height and strength, but ‘SKILLS’ which can overcome all other shortcomings. It’s exciting to see the midfield possession of football by Xavi, Iniesta and  Fabrigas. Brazilian Neymar is a treat to watch upfront and is full of surprises. You don’t know what’s up next when you face him.

The finals of the Confederation Cup is a great precursor for the 2014 World Cup. Let any team win,  Brazil or Spain, there won’t be any loser. Football is the winner. I will go with Brazil. Old habits die hard.
