    basically "take advantage of everything"? well, i believe that your national team is far too good to need things like that. anyway, referees are the weakest part of the championship so far, e.g. yesterday penalty for spain against slovenia. what makes me angry is that these mistakes are always done in favor of "bigger" teams. :mad: but, i guess it's all the part of the game. :)

      It started in the 70's when an cigarrete company ad with a famous soccer player, Gerson, saying something like this "for people that want to take advantage of everything". It's a common figure that brazilians are "smartasses" that always take advantage of everything that they can. In fact, it's sad that there are lot of brazilians that have this way of life. :(( The ad captured so well this "way of life" that it is called "Gerson's law" until today.

                    I need to stay away from this thread for the day. Brazil is my favorite team, I recorded the match but I didn't see it yet. But I expect Brazil to win, they are the Champs. One good thing about getting older, you don't lose the ages you've been!

                                  For the players the best of the best are selected, bud for the referees !! There should be a qualification process for referees just like for national teams. And then this strange rule no more than 1 referee from any country. I don't want to pick on referees of other parts of the world, bud I think the best referees come from where professional high level soccer is played (Europe, South America). I am a signature virus!
