In The Land of Football

It's World Cup time, and in honor of it I give you this video:

H/T Riogringa

I am thinking of showing this video tomorrow as an introduction to a message I am giving to a group of young people interested in studying at the seminary next year. Lots of parallels to the points I want to make from the life of Joshua.

Talk back to the missionary: Any predictions as to this year's World Cup winner (**cough**Brazil**cough). Be prophetic in the comments section.

See more video posts here.

VAMOS NESSA BRASIL! RUMO AO HEXA!

Pulling no punches here- I want Brasil even over the USA.

My personal desire is that Brazil never plays the US. If they do, I think I will get a room at some undisclosed location, because it is a lose/lose for me. If Brazil wins, people take the occasion to rub it in my face...as though I had been playing. If--by some freakish fluke of all natural laws known to man--the US should happen to win, my life will be in mortal danger for a few days.

I think Argentina has a great chance. It's going to come down to goals - and they have three of the better strikers in the world: Messi, Tevez and Milito. (Messi is just amazing.)

I am going to be rooting for the US, who I think can make it out of their group. If they get knocked out I'll pull for England - I think they can make a very good showing.

Oh yeah...Brazil and Spain are pretty good too.

Whether or not Argentina has a chance is not a subject that is up for discussion here in Brazil.

Nada disso pessoal,
Como brasileiro, sei que existem muitos jogadores aqui melhores do que o Dunga convocol. Que pena, se o Brasil passar para as quartas-de-final vai ser uma vitória tal qual um título mundial.
Jogadores que convocaria: Dentinho, Neymar, Ganço, Chicão, Ronaldo Gaúcho.

Translation:
Not of this guys,
How I'm brasilian, I kwon that exist so much soccers(this word exist?) better that Dunga not call. Too bad, if the Brasil cros to Quartas-de-final goes be an vitory as an world título.
Players thar I would call: Dentinho, Neymar, Ganço, Chicão, Ronaldo Gaúcho.
