Soccer Par Excellence & Germany's Coach- Joachim Low & Javier Bardem

Congratulations to Germany for winning the 2014 World Cup! Germany was not my pick but just watching members of the team play was awe-inspiring. I really thought that Mexico or the Netherlands would go all the way. Last thoughts. Doesn't the Germany coach (Joachim Low) look like (Javier Bardem) from "No Country for Old Men"? Don't they look like brothers? His doppelganger? Same intensity. Same results. Death and total destruction to the competition! Hmmm!

Brazil's Stunning Collapse: A lesson in not adhering to Sun Tzu

I know that this topic has nothing to do with financial content but I just had to make a comment. I have never seen such a stunning collapse in my life. Did they have a plan going in? How can two injured players have such a huge impact on a national team. I will lists over the next week all the ways that this team and management lost the game because of a lack of strategy.

Wage War: "To fight and conquer in all of your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." Brazil won all of its games up until it played Germany. Ahh, memo to Mr. Scolari- how could you put a demoralized, psychologically already beaten team, on the field.

The players looked lethargic, doubtful, and fearful on the field. The bottom-line is that the team's leadership failed the players, the nation and the millions of fans! Arrgh!
