Forza Dinho. Man this is good for Milan's image too. Just hope he plays well because with the National usually him and Kaka don't do well. Though, now maybe is different because here are the olympics boys. Pato forza.
Forza Dinho.
PO PO PO PO PO POP O PO PO

So happy for Dinho! I hope he represent Brasil as they are suppose to be represented in the world after all Brasil is a true champ of the world! that comes from an Argentina fan! that is because I can't deny how amazing Brasil is and I missed Argentina vs Brasil games when they prove to the WHOLE WORLD that they are the best derby ever!!!

Totally agree 100% that the best football derby is BRAZIL - ARGENTINA.. the super powers no matter what.... they represent football... though Brazil lost the jogo bonito long time ago..
