With less than 15 days till the kickoff the most celebrated tournament in the world, many of the 32 national teams are making several changes towards their long trip to South Africa. Australia is the first team to arrive and to train in looking forward to a better participation than Germany 2006 four years ago. The Brazilian national team is next after meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and wife Marisa Leticia before parting to South Africa. All 23 Brazilian players were with dark sporting attire reflecting the state of seriousness of this tournament that they are going to represent the country of Brazil in hopes for the next World Cup held in Brazil in 2014. President da Silva greeted with every single player and chatted up with players like Luis Fabiano, Robinho and Kaka.

The country of Brazil is hopeful to achieve their sixth title in South Africa, with fans said farewell to their players and bid them a good participation in the World Cup. Most of these fans couldn't make it to the open training sessions the Brazilian team held in Curitiba over the past few days but they made up themselves some time and bid them the greatest honor an athlete can get, the country's support. According to the Brazilian government, their patriotism is greatly admired due to the fact that the Central Banks of Brazil will be closed when the Brazilian national team plays the group stage. President da Silva hopes that Brazil makes it to the final against European champion, Spain, in hopes to obtain the World Cup title to finally get ready for the next World Cup in 2014.

Brazil has demonstrated over the past four years, with a great level of seriousness in their game. Players like Julio Cesar, Lucio, Maicon, and Robinho will give the Brazilian team an indentity that four years ago seemed unknown to the world because Brazil was not themselves in Germany. So I bid the Brazilian National Team a farewell and hope to win the World Cup, in which I will be rooting for "La Madre Patria" of Spain or the United States, because I believed in this country greatly but we can all dream.
