World Cup Celebration



Bebeto: Brazil vs. Holland (1994)
It is a well-known fact that footballers like to procreate, so someone was always going to celebrate the birth of their child after scoring a goal. Leave it to the Brazilians to make it look good though, as striker Bebeto brought the 'cradle-rocking' celebration to the world's attention. Having netted against Holland in the quarter-finals, Bebeto ran to the touchline to be joined by teammates Romario and Mazinho before they all started to rock an imaginary baby in tribute to the striker's potency (on and off the pitch). Some have tried to mirror him since - Jermaine Jenas to name one - but no-one has come close to pulling it off with such aplomb

There, then 1994.. the exact worldcup i first started watching and cheering for brazil =). was 12 then... and mind u.. i pick brazil way before the finals.. not after they won..

Bebeto, Romario, Taffereal, Dunga = my heros

its amazing the football they play.. no other teams can match them then.. Cafu.. Roberto Carlos...Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldihno.. somehow similar also..

now the brazil team, after 2 cycles.. i admit i dun have that much passion and attachment anymore.. i still love Kaka!!!.. and with (mighty =D) Dunga as the team coach.. let's hope the sambal magic can retain somehow and my passion will come back... goodluck team Brazil!

ohoh ppooooor sweden not qualified =(

another team to cheer for this worldcup...
Spain! with Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres... need i say more why?
hahahhaa

hahahaha and lastly...
last world cup when i turn to root for Italy after the early exit of brazil and sweden.....
hahaha.. Team Italy! sad to say... the (super cute) skilled Italian players I liked are more or less retiring or retired since last world cup... over their prime... if they can still balance up and maintain... i will still support them..

1,2,3 teams! go go go ole ole ole!
