Brasil’s Marcos Senna
(Villareal & Spain midfielder)
I want to add that I am proud of Spain’s Marcos Senna. He is Brasilian. He reminds me of Kaka, with that beautiful shot that he took that the Ukraine goalie was barely able to save. He was born in Rio De Janiero and took Spanish citizenship. Spain gave him the citizenship and look what he was able to do in the Ukraine game.
All over the world, national teams are realizing that the Brasilians are the best in the beautiful game. They play for other countries, if they can get the citizenship. The other countries are benefiting from this- look at Portugal’s Deco, Tunisia’s Francileudo, Mexico’s Zinha, Japan’s Alex. The list grows.
Shourin and others have asked for suggestions to improve the US national team.This is one way that the US might be able to get to the next level. I see them struggling. Our players from Santos and Sao Paulo might be able to help them. I think they will come now that they see Romario in Miami. But the US has to be less nationalistic and not like the British who refused Edu his citizenship.
I have to say goodbye for now but I wish the US all the luck against Italy. It is going to be difficult but have faith in your team.
