No.

No.

No.

No. It can't be. No.

How.. Why.. What the?

HOW could something like that happen?

I never knew it was possible.

Brasil was defeated by France.

None of these was familiar to me, Brasil being defeated without a goal. How could this happen? Previous goals from previous matches flashed in my mind. It cannot be happening.

The greatest team, Brasil, will not be included in the finals. Another shocker would be that England, too was eliminated. The 2 teams that I was rooting for actually lost. The 2 greatest teams lost.

Brasil being eliminated means one thing: I won’t see my Kaka anymore. Not until the next season which will take place in 2010. Also, Beckham might retire after this season since he’s old and he doesn’t need anymore money. He is a kachingllionnaire.

Futbol is the greatest game ever played, not solely because of Kaka or Beckham but because of the game itself.

Futbol represents LIFE.

One must overcome the opponent, after that, one must hit the goal. But that’s not all, the role of the Referee is huge. Avoid breaking the rules, or else you’ll be given a yellow card, and eventually a red card, that will signal game over for you.

We are the futbol players, the opponent is fear, the Referee is God, the yellow cards are consequences, and the Red Card, well, its game over. However, Life does not necessarily end at Game Over because you can still play the game of life. Just imagine, when you hit game over at an arcade, you can still buy tokens in order for you to play again.

Futbol is hard. But Life is harder.

We need to seek guidance and counsel from our Referees in order to play by the rules and in order to keep playing the game of Life.

Life isn’t perfect, and it will never be. But these complexities of Life, is what makes it beautiful.
