Argentine mocks exit of Brazil, England from Cup (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-07-03 08:54 The Argentine press cheered
on Sunday, a day after both England and Brazil were eliminated from soccer's
World Cup.
Sports daily Ole ran a front page photo of Brazilian soccer stars Ronaldo
Nazario and Ronaldo de Assis looking depressed, with France's Zinedine Zidane
looking as though he is laughing.
"Brazil is a mess, at team ... whose deputy manager is a great-grandfather
babbling drivel," the paper said.
The newspaper headlined the story of England's defeat at Portugal with
"Pirates Overboard".
Other newspaper headlines include: "Brazil cries and so does England", from
Popular; "What a shame mate", from Cronica; "KO to the Champion", from La
Nacion; and "Brazil and England both out", from Clarin.
