Bom dia amigos! And what do we have here today? Escândalo from the mouth of Brazil’s most-loved grandpa, Pele, of course! The legend, the “best player in the last century”, and the only man capable of talking about himself for a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes, has done it again! This time, he has declared that Brazil’s wonderkid, Neymar, “is better than Messi”. Any day now, and Pele will declare that he was “better than Neymar ever will be.” (major eyeroll time!)
“Neymar is stronger than Messi and Santos is better than Barcelona,” he declared last night, which we can only imagine must’ve evoked a load of snickering at the back row of the press room. “Messi is excellent in Barcelona but Argentina is struggling. There, he does not perform in the same way.”
We apologize for the possible incoherence of this post (most Guti-related posts tend to be that way, you see!) but here’s some interesting news for the two of you who are still following his career : Guti is moving to China! Just when you thought the Crackovia pranks could not get any worse, pack your Dora the Explorer bag because the bad Chino jokes are about to set in…
A few days ago, Guti said he was interested to play in Asia “to learn new cultures”. By that, he’s basically issuing a booty call to the rich clubs in China to come get him! Seriously, he’s not fooling anyone with those statements.
Lastly, check out a fascinating trailer on an upcoming programme called the “NEXT GOAL WINS”, based on the American Samoa national football team. It’s an interesting insight into the culture of the Samoan football culture – which is passionately growing but undoubtedly haunted by their 31-0 mauling in Australia’s hands ten years ago.
To be quite honest, there’s no need to score 31 goals in football to “prove a point” – you’ll just look ridiculous doing it! The teams of today stop at 8-9… take note!
