The Brazil vs. Turkey soccer match was interesting to watch at my neighbor�s house. Not only were the guys watching, but also a few wives, widows and daughters joined us. When Ronaldo scored the winning goal, the guys had the usual reaction that guys have when the team your rooting for scores, but the female viewers had a different type of joy when Brazil scored. I guess their bitter feeling towards Turks in general still remain strong and in many ways are fully justified.

I was noticing when the Turkish players would knock over a Brazilian player, how the Turks would check to see if the Brazilian was okay, rub their head, pat them on the back (even one time on the butt) and help them up as if they were sorry for what they had done. I pointed this out and one of the widows said that Turks are like that. They will lick your feet, smile at you, but if given the chance, they will cut off your head. The others agreed.

Anyway, the Brazil vs. Germany game should be really good.
