Yesterday the greatest team in the world played their first game of the Brasilian championship.
We went to São Paulo and beat a team called Corinthians. They are a big rival of ours. It was a good way to start the season for our team.
One of our players, Nilmar (Ansley's boyfriend), made an incredible goal. In the papers today and on the radio people are calling it Nilmaradona. Why? Most people consider Diego Maradona the second best soccer player ever after Brasil's Pele.
Why the comparison? In the 1986 World Cup Maradona did this:
In soccer, when you put a move on someone and go past them we say you "dribbled them." I count Maradona dribbling 5 players and then the goalie.
Yesterday our own Nilmar did this:
I count him dribbling 7 players (one guy twice) and then the goalie.
Which play is better? You can decide..........but (as Anderson would say) it's Nilmar...DUH!

Maradona "the second best player"...?! And Pele as the first one? Hahahah I think is the opposite for the most of the people... (check the FIFA voting 9 years ago and you will have some leads...).
That's why several newspapers from all around the world compares everyone with Maradona when a goal like this happens (again, you can check the internet). ;-)
