I'd love to see a World Cup with these players.

I have to cheer for my Italian brothers!

VIVA ITALIA

I love it when the Italian hotties half naked spill into the streets after a win, holding up their flags and cheering. I walk up and down for hugs which they happily give out!

Paralyzed Man in Robotic Body Suit Will Kick Off World Cup

The exoskeleton is controlled by brainwaves, and has the potential to replace wheelchairs for victims of paralysis.

A paraplegic man in a state of the art brain-controlled body suit will make the first kick of the World Cup on Thursday in front of 1 billion people.

Miguel Nicolelis, a Brazilian neuroscientist at Duke University, led a team of 156 researchers to create an exoskeleton that could enable people who are paralyzed to walk, and the technology will be displayed in action during the World Cup’s opening ceremonies ahead of the first match, Brazil vs. Croatia, in Sao Paulo. The man taking the kick has asked not to be named.

The suit, controlled by a non-invasive cap that reads brainwaves, can also send signals from the “feet” to artificial skin on the user’s arm to convey a sense of moment. The technology has the potential to replace wheelchairs for victims of paralysis.

“Doing a demonstration in a stadium is something very much outside our routine in robotics,” Nicolelis told AFP, an epic understatement given the potential of the robot and given the expected television audience for the match of 1 billion people.

Brazil was surprised by a goal and is down by one. I expect the street to become more violent if they lose this one. Personally I'm cheering for Croatia, I always go for the underdog.

I've been following the media articles about construction of the sites for months leading up to this - and it will be a miracle if people don't die from the rioting already taking place that has nothing to do with soccer, and from substandard, unfinished building projects (3 workers already died). The main stadium isn't finished and wasn't safety tested at all before opening day. :SayWhat?:

Surprised the teams don't boycott the games. Their players and families are at risk.


Brazil won 3-1.

Brazil did play better than Croatia, but the penalty shot was unfortunate (it was a good call by the ref, though). I can't help cheering for the underdog, though, especially against the powerhouses like Brazil, Italy, France and Argentina. Go Cameroon Go! :good:

Croatia played as well as expected. The Brazilian player scoring in their own net certainly helped the Croatians.

It was part of the Croatian Mafia plan...
