Who can laugh?

Yesterday, June 27th, 2018, German Soccer Team left Russia and went back to Germany.  Never before, in the history of the country, the German soccer team was knocked out in the first phase of the championship.  It failed to get the first round for the first time.

 In Brazilian TV News as well as on social networks the jokes are very well elaborated. These could be even considered funny if our country had the status of making fun of anyone or anything.

German soccer players went home earlier. They are not winning this World Cup. They will undershoot Brazil this time (in terms of wins at FIFA World Cups). Brazil has 5 World Cups. Germany, as well as Italy, has 4.

However, the reality the German soccer players will face when they arrive in Germany is very good, it is to be applauded (and why not to say envied).

Germany was destroyed during the Second World War; nowadays it is a foreign power.  They raised their heads, worked hard and honestly reconstructed the country.  Now they have the best qualities of life in the world.

I could list here so many aspects.

Germany, one of the countries with higher life expectations ( I mean life…  real life. Not waking up every day, pointless, with nothing relevant to do for themselves, or for the well of others.

Germany has high-speed trains (which vary from 160 to 300 km/h) with a polycentric network. The country knows how to use their rivers for transportation of products. The movement of loads by waterways is million tons.  This is relevant for the economy of the country.   

What about education?

It is estimated that 99% of the German people aged over 15 can read and write.  I am not going to say the percentage of Germans who can speak a second language or the unemployment rates in the country.

 Movies, music, cuisine, respect to human, animal and vegetal life.

Ah, the German parks and gardens… ah, the colorful flowers of the German gardens…

If by any chance, we won this World Cup, what would Brazilian soccer players find when they got here? Ah, I forgot. Most of them play in foreign soccer teams and are not coming back here.

What they would find here you can see by yourself every single day.

Our Health System, our education, our security, our prison system, our politicians, our depressing dishonest reality embedded in our DNAs.

Are they going to continue with the jokes? Who is the winner? Who loses every day?
