BOOK PER HEAD

These 2008 Beijing Olympics have given a lot to talk about. Especially for soccer fans, who enjoyed an incredible game between Argentina and Brazil. The big surprise was to see the Brazilian squad defeated… with no goals scored!

Argentina surprised with 3 goals, scored by Sergio Aguero (who scored 2) and one by Juan Riquelme thanks to a penalty. Even with the big advantage of having top-class players like Messi, Batista has made an excellent job as a coach in Argentina, while Dunga will have to face tough critics of his performance as coach of what’s supposed to be one of the best soccer teams in the world.

The Brazilian soccer team has had some bad results lately (before the Olympics there were awful soccer scores showing), and yesterday’s game was one of the biggest failures. Even if they actually win the bronze medal on the game against Belgium, their performance will be remembered as a very poor one, very unlike the usual Brazil.

Let’s see what happens with Dunga and his team. If they continue the way the have been doing it… we will probably have to find other favorites for the next World Cup.
