Oh, I thought it was something more shocking (and important) like basketball or something...:\

It was a shock. Weren't they supposed to be the worlds best?

adidasss · 08-10-2008, 04:05 AM

Well I don't think it's a sport they've consistently dominated for a number of years...I'm not sure but isn't Brazil a much bigger superpower there...?*unsure*
