Brazil untung, sudahlah tuan rumah bolasepak Piala Dunia 2014, hos Olimpik pula lepas tu 2 tahun kemudian pada 2016.

Bayangkan negara kita Malaysia menjadi tuan rumah bolasepak FIFA Piala Dunia dan 2 tahun selepas itu menjadi hos pula Sukan Olimpik.

Meriahkan?

Bolasepak FIFA Piala Dunia dan Sukan Olimpik adalah 2 kejohanan dan pertandingan dan temasya terbesar dunia yang diadakan selang 4 tahun sekali.

Nah, Brazil sebagaimana kita ketahui adalah tuan rumah bolasepak Piala Dunia 2014 dan 2 tahun selepas itu pada 2016, menjadi hos pula sukan Olimpik.. Wowww

Antara negara beruntung yang mendapat keistimewaan itu sebelum ini ialah Amerika Syarikat.

Piala Dunia FIFA 1994 diadakan di Amerika Syarikat dan 2 tahun selepas itu Sukan Olimpik 1996 diadakan pula di Atlanta, Amerika Syarikat.

Piala Dunia 1974 pula diadakan di Jerman dan dimenanginya menewaskan Belanda 2-1 di final, manakala 2 tahun sebelumnya Sukan Olimpik diadakan di Munich, Jerman pada 1972.

Pada 1954, Piala Dunia turut diadakan di Jerman dan Jerman sekali lagi menjadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia pada 2006 dimana pasukan itu layak ke separuh akhir sebelum dikecewakan juara, Itali 2-0.

Dimana pula Sukan Olimpik 1936 diadakan yang menyaksikan Adolf Hitler menonton Atlit Amerika Syarikat, Jeese Owens menang 4 pingat Emas? Jawapannya di Berlin, Jerman!!

Kalau bukan 2 tahun jaraknya, asalkan diadakan di negara sama pun mencukupi.

Contohnya Sepanyol tuan rumah Piala Dunia FIFA 1982 dan 10 tahun selepas itu pada 1992 Barcelona tuan rumah sukan Olimpik pula.

England pula tuan rumah sukan Olimpik 2012, manakala pada 1966, negara itu tuan rumah Piala Dunia yang dimenanginya selepas menewaskan Jerman Barat 4-2 di final di Wembley.

Jepun tuan rumah sukan olimpik 1960 dan tuan rumah bersama Piala Dunia FIFA pada 2002 bersama Korea, malahan sukan Olimpik pernah diadakan di Seoul, Korea pada 1988.

Mexico tuan rumah sukan Olimpik 1968 dan Piala Dunia 1970 dan sekali lagi menjadi tuan rumah pertandingan besar Piala Dunia pada 1986 yang menyaksikan Diego Maradonna menjadi pemain lagenda dan terbaik dunia.

Perhatikan juga nombornya 68 dan 86.. hebatkan??

Siapa pula tuan rumah Piala Dunia 1970 yang dimenangi Pele dan Brazil ? Mexico juga kan.

Rome, Itali juga pernah menjadi hos sukan Olimpik dan dimanakah Piala Dunia 1990 diadakan? Jawapannya Itali.

Negara lain pula seperti Malaysia bukan saja tidak pernah menjadi hos Piala Dunia, malahan tidak pernah menjadi hos sukan Olimpik. Malaysia hanya pernah menjadi tuan rumah sukan Komanwel 1998 dan hos Piala Dunia Belia pada 1997 yang menyaksikan kelibat pemain muda yang kemudiannya menjadi pemain tersohor iaitu Michael Owen - England, Pablo Aimar - Argentina, Thierry Henry dan David Trezeguet – Prancis bersama Esteban Cambiasso – Argentina.

Apapun Brazil pasti juara Piala Dunia 2014 di gelanggang sendiri.

Hidup Liverpool, Hidup Brazil.

Perompak Bank di Brazil, tertembak kaki sendiri

Dia berpakaian seperti koboi lengkap dengan topi Cowboy dan dilengkapi 2 pistol.

Itu gelagat seorang perompak bank di Parana, Brazil yang merompak sebuah bank bersama 2 rakan.

Namun kebodohannya kerana tertembak kaki sendiri menyebabkan perompak itu berjaya ditahan polis, tidak lama selepas itu.

Inilah perompak bodoh versi zaman moden!!

Socrates, Lagenda Brazil yang sentiasa dikenang

Socrates pada 2011


Socrates ketika bermain untuk Brazil pada 1982 dan 1986










Selain Pele, Careca, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Garrincha, Didi, Vava dan Falcao serta Zico, Socrates antara pemain bolasepak Brazil yang dianggap terbaik.

Dia meninggal dunia pada Ahad 4 Disember 2011 setelah komplikasi jangkitan di perut di Sao Paulo, usianya 57 tahun.

Socrates pernah bermain untuk kelab Brazil, Corinthians, Flamengo, Santos dan Botafogo dan juga di Fiorentina, Itali.

Dia menjaringkan 22 gol dalam 60 penampilan untuk Brazil.


Antaranya gol menakjubkan ini ketika Brazil menewaskan USSR 2-1 pada Piala Dunia FIFA 1982.



Serta gol ini ketika Brazil tewas 2-3 kepada Itali pada piala Dunia 1982.

Di padang, Socrates dikenali kerana ketinggian 6 kaki 4 inci serta gelaran Doktor kerana dia berkelulusan Doktor Perubatan.

Semoga roh Socrates tenang, aman dan damai.

Rest in Peace, Socrates, the Captain of Brazil 1982, 1986

Socrates in 2011


Socrates while playing for the Brazilian national squad










Socrates is a classical Greece Athenian philosopher who lived thousand of years ago.

But here we are not talking about the historical philosopher, but rather one of Brazilian finest players.

He is Socrates who played for the Brazilian national team in the 1982 and 1986 World Cup.

Sadly, the former Brazilian captain Socrates, who played in the great 1982 Brazilian side which was widely-regarded as the finest team never to win a World Cup has died.

He died on Sunday, 4th December 2011 at the age of 57.

Socrates are among Brazil's best known footballers apart from Pele, Zico, Careca, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Eder, Didi, Garrincha, Vava and Falcao.

Socrates was taken to Albert Einstein Hospital late Friday, 2nd December 2011 after suffering food poisoning. He went into septic shock, placed on a life support machine but passed way overnight.

Socrates had already been hospitalised twice in August and September 2011 with bleeding in his digestive tract, and recognised after these incidents that he had problems with alcohol, especially during his playing days.

It was reported that Socrates would be buried later in a private ceremony in the town of Ribeirao Preto, 300 kilometres outside Sao Paulo, where he began his playing career in 1974 for Botafogo.

Brazilian giants Corinthians - for whom he played for six years scoring 172 goals in 297 matches and won three Sao Paulo league titles - paid a fulsome tribute to him.

Later Sunday 4th December 2011, Corinthians honoured his memory in style by winning their fifth national league championship after a goalless draw against Sao Paulo rivals Palmeiras.

The 'Timao', for whom Socrates played between 1978 and 1984, previously lifted the national title in 1990, 1998, 1999 and 2005.

Before the game, midfielder Alex said there would be no finer way to pay a fitting tribute to Socrates than for the club to get the draw they needed.

"The best way for us to celebrate his memory is the title," said Alex.

"We hope we can lift the title, to win it in the name of Socrates, for the great idol that he is."

Fans held up banners in the stands reading "Doctor Socrates, rest in peace" while a minute's silence was observed before the start.

In his heydays, Socrates was easily recognisable, standing at 6 feet 4 inches and bearded.

Socrates scored 22 goals in 60 appearances for Brazil.

He was named South American Footballer of the Year in 1983, and was also named on Pelé's FIFA 100 list in 2004.

Socrates achieved a rare phenomenon for a professional footballer, graduating as Doctor of Medicine while actively playing soccer at the highest level both for domestic league and international duties.

His younger brother, Rai also played for Brazil in the 1994 World Cup in USA where Brazil won, defeating Italy in the final in penalty shoot-outs.

Apart from Corinthians, Socrates played for 3 other Brazilian clubs > Flamengo, Santos, Botafogo and Fiorentina in Italy.



Perhaps he was best remembred for his stunning goal against USSR in the 1982 FIFA
World Cup in the preliminary round. Brazil went on to win 2-1.



Socrates also scored this stunning goal for Brazil against Italy in the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Sadly, Brazil bowed out 2-3, no thanks to Paolo Rossi's hattrick.

Socrates was also best remembred for his penalty miss in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match, Brazil against reigning European champion, France.

It pitted Zico, Socrates and Careca against Michel Platini, Jean Tigana and co.

The match ended 1-1 after extra time, best remembered for a Zico penalty miss and Socrates missing 2 open chances in regulation times.

In the ensuing penalty shoot-outs, Socrates stepped up to take Brazil's 1st spot kick but his kick was saved by French goal keeper, Joel Bats. Socrates took the penalty without running forward, he simply kicked the ball after taking only 2 steps, thus beginning the downfall of Brazil in the 1986 World Cup, they eventually lost the shoot-outs 3-4.

Rest in Peace Socrates.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Draw results in full

The 2014 World Cup Preliminary Draw took place at the Marina da Gloria in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday 30 July 2011.



Brazil's all time World Cup top scorer with 15 goals, Ronaldo is seen taking part in the draw





This is the road to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. 5 times World Cup champion, Brazil will host the 20th World Cup soccer tournament from June 12 to July 13 in 2014.

FIFA.com rounds up the results from the Preliminary Draw which took place at the Marina da Gloria in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday 30 July 2011.



There are no such things as automatic qualifications for the host, Brazil and World Cup defending champion, Spain.

Instead Brazil (the 5 times champion in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002) has to slug it out with 8 other South American countries including arch rival and number 1 nemesis, Argentina (the 1978 and 1986 champion) and Uruguay (the 2 times Champion, 1930 and 1950 World Cup winners and 15 times Copa America Champion including the 2011 edition).

Spain, the 2010 World Cup Champion is pitted in the same group as France, the 1998 champion in the qualification round.


Intercontinental play-offs
Asia – South America
North, Central America and the Caribbean - Oceania


African Zone Draw
Group A: South Africa, Botswana, Central African Republic, Somalia or Ethiopia
Group B: Tunisia, Cape Verde Islands, Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea or Madagascar
Group C: Côte d'Ivoire, Morocco, Gambia, Chad or Tanzania
Group D: Ghana, Zambia, Sudan, Lesotho or Burundi
Group E: Burkina Faso, Gabon, Niger, Sao Tome e Principe or Congo
Group F: Nigeria, Malawi, Seychelles or Kenya, Djibouti or Namibia
Group G: Egypt, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Comoros or Mozambique
Group H: Algeria, Mali, Benin, Eritrea or Rwanda
Group I: Cameroon, Libya, Guinea-Bissau or Togo, Swaziland or Congo DR
Group J: Senegal, Uganda, Angola, Mauritius or Liberia

From what i can see in the African Zone Draw, minnows teams like Comoros, Mauritius, Uganda, Eritrea, Rwanda, Gabon, Djibouti, Burundi, Lesotho, Madagascar, Ethiopia and what more the war-ravaged Somalia have little or no chance at all to advance beyond the qualifications stage. However no African nation has ever win the World Cup.


Instead traditional strong teams like Cameroon (who reached the World Cup Quarter Final in 1990) , Senegal (who reached the Quarter Final in 2002), Ghana (who reached the quaterfinal in 2010), Algeria (who up-setted West Germany in 1982), Egypt (the African Champion), Cote d'Ivoire (who boasts world class players such as Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou), Nigeria (who has many immensely talented world class players such as Nwanko Kanu, Victor Ipkeba, Rasheed Yekini and Daniel Amokachi) and South Africa can all qualify to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.





Asian Zone Draw
Group A: China, Jordan, Iraq, Singapore
Group B: Korea Republic, Kuwait, UAE, Lebanon
Group C: Japan, Uzbekistan, Syria, Korea DPR
Group D: Australia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Thailand
Group E: Iran, Qatar, Bahrain, Indonesia

In the Asian Zone qualifications stage, traditional power-house teams like Australia, Japan, Korea Republic (who qualified in every World Cup final since 1986), North Korea (who had a disastrous World Cup in 2010), Saudi Arabia, Iran and Qatar (the 2022 World Cup host) can all qualify to the World Cup final in Brazil. No Asian team has ever win the World Cup.

The best achievement by an Asian team was in the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan where South Korea progressed all the way into the semi final before being beaten 0-1 by Germany, the eventual runners-up. However things might change for Asian teams this time as anything can happen in football. Look at the Japanese female soccer team who created history by becoming the first ever Asian country to win the FIFA Women World Cup in Germany in July 2011.




North, Central America and the Caribbean Zone Draw (Round Two)
Group A: El Salvador, Surinam, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic
Group B: Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, Bermuda
Group C: Panama, Dominica, Nicaragua, Bahamas
Group D: Canada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Puerto Rico, St Lucia
Group E: Grenada, Guatemala, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize
Group F: Haiti, Antigua and Barbuda, Curacao, US Virgin Islands

The North, Central America and Caribbean Zone always produce zero teams that can advance all the way to the final round of the World Cup. Canada made it to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. The rest of the teams in this zone can kiss good bye to their World Cup ambitions, no way can they progress beyond this round.





North, Central America and the Caribbean Zone Draw (Round Three)
Group A: USA, Jamaica, Winner of R2 Grp E, Winner of R2 Grp F
Group B: Mexico, Costa Rica, Winner of R2 Grp A, Winner of R2 Grp B
Group C: Honduras, Cuba, Winner of R2 Grp D, Winner of R2 Grp C

This group above are traditionally dominated by none other than USA and Mexico who have qualified to the World Cup, on many occassions. Others would find it very hard to progress beyond this round.





Oceanian Zone Draw
Group A: Vanuatu, New Caledonia, American Samoa/Cook Islands/Samoa or Tonga, Tahiti
Group B: Fiji, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea

Only New Zealand can progress from this Oceanian Zone Draw. However in rugby, no teams in the world can beat the likes of New Zealand Fiji, Samoa and Tonga who are all rugby dominance nations. For the record New Zealand qualified to the 1982 World Cup in Spain and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.





European Zone Draw
Group A: Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Scotland, Macedonia, Wales
Group B: Italy, Denmark, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Armenia, Malta.
Group C: Germany, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Austria, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan.
Group D: Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Estonia, Andorra.
Group E: Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, Albania, Cyprus, Iceland.
Group F: Portugal, Russia, Israel, Northern Ireland, Azerbaijan, Luxembourg
Group G: Greece, Slovakia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Lithuania, Latvia, Lichtenstein
Group H: England, Montenegro, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova, San Marino
Group I: Spain, France, Belarus, Georgia, Finland

The European Zone Draw is very interesting to watch. We have previous World Champions slugging it out among themselves including Italy (the 4 times champion in 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006), Germany (the 3 times winner in 1954, 1974, 1990), Netherlands (1974, 1978 and 2010 runners-up), England the 1966 champion, France the 1998 champion and 2010 and current champion, Spain.

Look at Group I, 2 World Champions, Spain and France are in the same group.

Let's see what happens then. Thanks for reading. Best Regards and Cheers.

Marta, pemain bolasepak wanita terhebat pernah dilahirkan

Dalam dunia bolasepak lelaki, kita tahu dan kenal siapakah pemain terhebat yang pernah beraksi di persada bolasepak antarabangsa.

Antara pemain hebat lelaki ialah Pele, Maradonna, Lionel Messi, Gerd Muller, Garrincha, Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo D Stefano, Didi, Vava, Falcao, Zico, Mario Kempes, Karl Heinz Rummenigge, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Michel Platini, George Best, Abedi Pele, George Weah, Samuel Eto'o, Socrates, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho dan Rivaldo dan ramai lagi.

Namun dalam arena bolasepak wanita, pemain hebatnya agak kurang dikenali.

Namun diakui pemain bolasepak wanita terhebat pernah dilahirkan, tidak lain dan tidak bukan Marta dari Brazil.

Marta atau nama penuhnya Marta Vieira da Silva lahir pada 19 Februari 1986, tahun sama Diego Maradonna menjulang Piala Dunia 1986 untuk Argentina.

Bakatnya dikesan ketika dia bermain bola dengan gaya amat cemerlang melawan budak budak lelaki di lorong jalanraya di Brazil ketika usianya 14 tahun.

Mesipun ketinggiannya hanya 5 kaki 4 inci, Marta memporak perandakan pertahanan lawan yang tubuh badannya jauh lebih sasa dan tinggi, dengan mudah.


Inilah gol menakjubkan Marta ketika Brazil menewaskan USA 4-0 dalam separuh akhir Piala Dunia Wanita FIFA 2007.

Kehebatannya berjaya merangkul anugerah pemain terbaik wanita FIFA sebanyak 5 kali berturut turut pada 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 dan 2010.

Rekod sebegini tidak pernah dicatatkan oleh mana mana pemain samada lelaki mahupun wanita. Malahan Pele, Maradona, Lionel Messi dan Ronaldo serta Ronaldinho pun belum pernah mencatatkan rekod sedemikian.

Itulah kehebatan Marta.

Marta mewakili pasukan kebangsaan wanita Brazil sebanyak 71 kali dan sudah menjaringkan 78 gol.

Marta yang menyarung jersi kebangsaan Brazil nombor 10, sama dengan jersi dipakai Pele, Zico dan Ronaldo, kini membantu Brazil dalam Piala Dunia Wanita FIFA 2011 di Jerman.

Dia menjaringkan 2 gol ketika Brazil menewaskan Norway, 3-0.

Pada Piala Dunia Wanita FIFA 2007, Marta muncul pemain terbaik dan penjaring terbanyak dengan 7 gol, namun Brazil tewas 0-2 kepada Jerman di final dengan Marta sendiri menyaksikan sepakan penaltinya diselamatkan penjaga gol Jerman.

Adakah Marta mampu menjulang Piala Dunia Wanita FIFA 2011 bersama Brazil ?? Sama sama kita nantikan.

Hidup Marta. Terima kasih kerana membaca.

Rogerio Ceni - the goalkeeper who scored 100 goals!!!

Sao Paolo Goalkeeper, Rogerio Ceni is better than some top class strikers in the world for he already scored 100 goals in all professional competitions.



Here, Ceni scored his 100th goal, a beautiful thunderous freekick from 30 metre in the 2-1 win against Corinthians at the Brazilian football league on Sunday, 27 March 2011.

Ceni struck a perfect right-footed shot over the wall, curling the ball into the top right corner past goalkeeper Julio Cesar in the 54th minute at the Arena Barueri.

"It was beautiful," said Ceni, who was the third goalkeeper in Brazil's squad when it won the 2002 World Cup.

"As a goalkeeper you don't enter the match thinking about scoring a goal, but it happened just as I wanted: with a free kick, deciding an important match. For me, it doesn't matter that it was against Corinthians, but for the fans it must have been important."

It was Ceni's 56th free kick goal, while the others came from penalty kicks.

FIFA says Ceni has 98 goals, but the goalkeeper counts two he scored in unofficial friendlies — one against a combined Santos and Flamengo in 1998 and the other against Russian club Uralan Elista in an exhibition tournament in 2000.

Even by FIFA's count, he is the goalkeeper with the most goals ever scored and even better than the famed Paraguayian goalkeeper, Jose Luis Chilavert who scored 62 goals in his professional career.

Ceni's goal on Sunday also meant a lot for Sao Paulo, allowing the club to end an 11-match winless streak against Corinthians, the team's biggest rival. Sao Paulo hadn't beaten Corinthians since February 2007.


Rogerio Ceni's 57th goal!!!



Ceni most memorable year as a footballer was in 2002 when he was a member of the Brazilian national squad that won the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, beating Germany 2-0 in the final. Both goals scored by the legendary Ronaldo..

Ceni appeared 950 times for Sao Paolo.

Now, not everybody can do that, not even aliens in far away galaxies. Ceni proves himself as the best attacking goalkeeper in the world!!!


Chilavert is a Football Legend in Paraguay. He saved and scored 62 goals in his gliterring professional career.

Trans-sexual model stirs Brazil fashion show

Brazilian transsexual model Lea T. is as famous as his father - 1980s Brazilian footballer - Toninho Cerezo.



Toninho Cerezo won 57 caps playing for Brazil in international matches, between March 1977 and June 1985, scoring seven goals.

Cerezo was part of the Brazilian national side in 2 World Cups.

The 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina (won by Argentina defeating Holland 3-1 in the final) and the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain (won by Italy defeating West Germany 3-1 in the final).

He was also due to go to the 1986 tournament, but a hamstring injury in May ruled him out.

However Toninho Cerezo's son (or rather daughter now!!), Lea T., stole the show on Sunday, 30th January 2011 at the Sao Paulo Fashion Week as critics applauded her presentation and paparazzi mobbed her entourage.

Lea T, received roaring applause as she took to the catwalk modeling a new collection by Alexandre Herchcovitch.

He or She ( i am confused) wore pale makeup and was accompanied by somber music as she helped present a collection of black, gray, beige and green gowns with long sleeves.


The paparazzi swarmed her entourage as she left the venue accompanied by friends, agents and bodyguards, with one photographer kicking one of her managers before she was spirited away.

The runway star (pictures below), who has also modeled for the French brand Givenchy, has become a fashion sensation following high-profile appearances on the European market in recent months, including a magazine cover in which she appears kissing British supermodel Kate Moss.



















Lea T is an inspiration to trans-gender and trans-sexuals, worldwide.



Even Supermodel Kate Moss, kissed Lea T..!!


Apart from Lea T of Brazil, another well known Trans-sexual model is Isis from USA.

The Brazil-born model left for Italy when embarking on her career, citing ill treatment and questions over her sexual orientation.

The 30th twice-annual Sao Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW) promises to showcase 31 home brands and set the stage for next winter's collection.

The runway stars include Gisele Bundchen (pictures below), the Brazilian beauty who has become the world's top-paid model and is set to show off the latest creations of the brand Colcci.

No religious ban on Manchester United jerseys in Malaysia, says Mufti

The disputed football jerseys include that of Brazil, Portugal, Serbia, England, Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona because the emblems feature among others The Red Devils, Cross, Betting company and Alcoholic drinks!!!!

But to me, football is football and religion is religion. They are 2 very very very separate things and issues. No sane football supporters will suddenly convert to other religion from their respective religions on seeing their teams actions.

No logic thinking football supporters will suddenly worship the devil whenever Manchester United win.

As reported by the Star on 24th July 2010.

KUALA LUMPUR: There is no “religious ban” on Manchester United jerseys despite statements by several prominent Islamic scholars urging Muslims not to don the Premier League club’s shirts because the emblem features a devil.

Perak mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria said jerseys with devils, crosses or skulls promoted the wrong values for Muslims but that did not mean they should be banned.

“A fatwa on the matter is not necessary as it is clearly wrong for Muslims to wear shirts with devils and other unIslamic symbols because it is against the teachings of Islam,” he said yesterday.

Apart from Manchester United, which is also known as The Red Devils, other football teams whose crests carry images deemed unIslamic like the cross are Brazil, Portu­gal, Serbia, Barcelona and Norway.

“In Islam, Satan is our enemy ... but I believe Satan is also an enemy of the non-Muslims.

“We advise people not to wear them,” said Harussani.

He added that Muslims had no reason to wear and glorify symbols that promoted wrong values.

Harussani said other ulama and mufti shared his opinion but they did not plan to pass any edict to ban the attire either.

Many Muslim football fans, he said, were actually unaware of the images on the emblems.

His view was shared by Johor Religious Council adviser Datuk Nooh Gadot, who had issued similar advice to Muslims on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, several Malaysian football fans have shown the “red card” to the advice by the ulama.

They voiced disapproval over social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

“What am I going to do with all my Manchester United jerseys? And my sons’ jerseys?” said a Twitter user.

Some even went to the extent of accusing the ulama of supporting Liverpool, Manchester United’s archrival.

Manchester United Malaysia Fan Club, which boasts 7,000 members, when contacted, declined to comment.

Checks at various sports retail outlets in shopping malls revealed that the famous red jerseys of the club were still on sale.

Sales personnel on duty said the new version of the club’s attire was selling like hot cakes as it had arrived just a few days ago after its global launch on July 15.

World Cup 2010 - shameful Felipe Melo contributes greatly to Brazilian fall

Brazil gone, now it's up to Diego Armando Maradona and Lionel Messi to carry South American hope to win and bring the World Cup to South America continent. A win for Argentina is a win for the whole of South American and Brazilian fans around the globe.



Felipe Melo dashed 2 billion people hopes of watching Brazil repeating the 2002 world Cup triumph.



Felipe Melo played like a sick chicken - better slaughter him!!!



This is a view of the seaside city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where Brazil fell 1-2 to Holland in the 2010 World Cup quarter-final match, 2nd July 2010. No thanks to Felipe Melo the rotten Melon


2 July 2010 indeed is a very sad day for Brazilian football and to almost 2 billion Brazilian football fans around the globe, including me in far away Sabah, Malaysia, South East Asia.

One person caused the misery of 2 bllion people around the globe. One person broke the hearts and crush the hopes of 2 billion people..!!!

That person commited 3 grave mistakes in the Brazil versus Holland, at the 2010 World Cup 2010 quarterfinal match held at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

The person in question is the foolish, stupid and super imbecile Felipe Melo.

Melo commited 3 fatal mistakes that fatally and suddenly halted Brazil progress in the ongoing World Cup held at the very 1st time at the African continent.

Brazil’s hope and ambition to win the coveted trophy for a record 6th times were torn into pieces because of Felipe Melo’s stupidity and born loser, genetically inherited mental and physical handicapp.

Felipe Melo should have never ever been born into this world.

Why Dunga picked him instead of the inform, former world player of the year, Ronaldinho??

Why Dunga Why??

Ronaldinho is at least 100 times better than Melo in all aspects, be it dribbling, heading, dealing with dead ball situations, taking free kicks, delivering defence splitting passes as well as scoring spectacular goals.

But Melo crushed the hearts of billions of Brazilian fans including at the I-S-S, International Space Stations and other galaxies as well.

First, he scored a stupid own goal past his own goalkeeper Julio Cesar, to give the Dutch an equalizer after Robinho’s 10th minute strike gave Brazil an early lead.

Then Melo just watched haplessly as Wesley Sneijder headed Holland second and winning goal, that night. Melo did not even attempt to challenge Sneijder who was standing a mere 2 feet away from him. He was a true moron!!!

The last and 3rd fatal mistakes Melo did on that fateful 2nd July 2010 afternoon at Port Elizabeth was his sheer madness and utter stupidity act of stomping on Arjen Robbens legs, thus earning him a straight Red Card.

That left Brazil with only 10 men and made it even harder for Dunga’s boys to overcome the 1-2 deficit.

Melo knew that stomping into any of your opponents bodyparts in football, will result in a straight red card. It is like children who knew that 2 + 2 equals 4. But to Felipe Melo’s rotten mind, 2 + 2 equals minus 77..!!!

Melo, maybe overdosed of Milo, actually played for Holland last night, for he did a tremendous job in defeating his own team – Brazil. It was like Holland was playing with an extra player with Melo on their side. 12 against 10 to be exact.

Melo – you are a rotten Melon.

What will be the ideal punishment to a single person who caused misery to 2 billion people?

Well to me, there are many.

We can choose any assortments of weaponry including Gatling Gun, Napalm Bomb, Carl Gustav 80mm anti tank shell, Claymoore mines and .50 Calibre Heavy Machine Gun..!!


That person shot should be Felipe Melo right?



This is the effect of a Napalm bomb in Vietnam


Screw and xx#$%#@((& you Felipe Melo...!!!!!

As for the Dutch players, Arjen Robben who easily dropped to the ground every time he got the ball during that match to earn unnecessary free kicks, should be jailed in South Africa’s infamous Robben island prison, off the coast of Cape Town for at least 88 years until he drops dead.



As for Dirk Kuyt who contributed the 2nd goal, he should be rammed by a mad bull from Spain, for he is not a striker, instead he played like a mad bull.

Some Brazilian players like Michael Bastos, Juan and Nilmar should have never been picked for the South African trip, for they played like sissy pussycat dolls. Heck, even The Pussycat Dolls play better football than this trio of shame.

Juan in particular was silly enough, missing 2 golden opportunities to score from the 6 yard box, on both occasions, he ballooned his shot and headed wide instead.

He must have thought that chances like that will come 100 times in a match against Holland at the quarter final of the world Cup?? Stupid right??

Juan is more suitable to play in rugby because his skywards shots will count as goals.

That match only proves that only Brazil can defeat Brazil.

On a more positive note, Brazil remains as the only 5 star team in any World Cup tournament.

The 5 stars are smartly embalmed on their jerseys, signifying the unmatchable achievements of winning 5 world cups in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.

Viva Brazil.

One more thing, Brazil should be refferd as BRZ in short form instead of BRA for BRA means you know what.
