With Kaka Everything Is Easy

After the sorry performance Brazil demonstrated against Ecuador they had to pull out a convincing victory in order to please their frustrated followers. They did just that against bottom of the table Peru. Am I convinced with the work of Dunga’s boys? No for the very reason that the magic that enchants is still not there. On the other hand, one thing is certain that when Kaka plays Brazil shine like a brand new penny. Even while coming from injury he manages to put the whole team onto his shoulders and lead them to victory. Just like in Ac Milan when he is gone you can feel the emptiness but when he is there it is a totally different story. He brings the creativity and the vision that Brazil lacked in their previous matches without him. Everything is much easier when Kaka is there so for the sake of Brazil and Milan let us hope that he stays healthy.

Above Everyone Else

Just another demonstration of their superiority against any rival. La Furia are like Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona where it seems that there is no rival that can match and beat the exquisite touch football that Spain are displaying. This is associated football at its purest form. From top to bottom they are perfection and no team can compare. Capello’s England should be thankful that at least they were able  to see the beauty of Spain’s football up close and personal. England may have invented the game but Spain are taking it to another level. Some are calling Spain the Brazil of Europe, but at the current moment I think Brazil can take a page or two from La Furia’s style of play.

Highlights:

• Spain continues to taste sweet victory for the 126th straight time
• Iker only 27 years old reaches Hierro with 89 caps. There is no removing his mark from Spanish history books.
• Fernando Llorente scores his first goal wearing the red. Moments later he would limp off the field with an injury.
• David Villa opened the way for Spain by scoring against England, which makes him the first Spanish player to score in six consecutive matches.
• David Beckham also makes history with England by making his 108th appearance reaching the same numbers of the eternal Booby Moore.

Note: Brazil against Italy delivered an impressive performance with the City boys Elano and Robinho giving the Italians a major headache. The way Robinho broke the spines of the Italian defense with his mind numbing dribbling inside the box was tremendous. To watch him play with Brazil it makes me wonder who lost more Real Madrid or Robinho with his transfer to City? On another note, the Azzuri’s performance was horrendous, but come the Confederations Cup I am certain that the Italians will be in tip top shape. I never  let my guard down with Italy.
