Sorry, sorry, one more time sorry, but I wouldn't loose this opportunity to
tease you Americans!!

I know that there are three things Americans hate: a cold hamburger, a warm
beer and to loose a basketball game.

Once in a while it happens and Brazil beats the Nightmare Team (you can't
consider that a Dream Team) in the Pan-American Games and steals you gold
medal. Maybe we can say twice in while, since it already happened in
Indianapolis, in 87.

Don't be mad, you are still the best. I am also sad 'cause Brazil was beaten
by Mexico a week ago in soccer.

But I must confess that it has a special "meaning" to beat you in
basketball. Much more when out national team did not even won a place in the
Olympic Games, next year. ;-))
