"For too long we let liars and cheaters make a fool of the game...."

Well so much for Joga Bonito... Well in case you dunno what it means from my own personal point of view is that i think it means play beautiful football... Exactly my kind of football. I love to play beautiful or at least i try my best but it disgusts me to see people who play dirty and cheat...

Well thats what happened last sun when we had our soccer tournament. We played at the Singapore version of the infamous cage which is located at jalan benar kapal hope i got that right, its located at kallang within walking distance of the Macdonalds there. It was the annual SSSC tournament which was normally held at St wilfred sports complex. Well we finished in 3rd place. Damn that sucked we were probably the best team there in terms of technical ability, but we literally got physically attacked by one of the teams who kept on fouling us but it seemed that the referee was quite oblivious to all this. Thou he was quite good when it came to foul language thou i wish he was as consistent in it with foul play. Cause whenever he heard any foul language the cards came flying out... :[ And unfortunately my team had quite a no of cards for that.

Oh yes i got the meaning of Joga Bonito of a website well here it is. What does it all mean? Well, "Joga Bonito," Portuguese for "play beautiful," a phrase that symbolizes both any football player's desire to embody the grace of the game and to promote the sheer fun, skill, sportsmanship and community spirit that makes football truly the world's favorite game.
