From a purely ethical standpoint, I must disagree with you. :-) There is nothing like the "Joga Bonita" soccer game - anyone anywhere else in the world will tell you so. :-)
I fervently believe that you just need to see a good soccer game in order to help you properly appreciate the beautiful game. :-)
During the 2006 World Cup, I will do my best to ensure that you have such an opportunity. :-)
