The staff member is a fair tie between you and Lex. Love you both, but Jason is definitely my least favorite one by a fair lead :P

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm a nice, fairly young lady and even hot if I forget any modesty... I'm no cat lady. Unless the kitten is you ;)

I'd eat you for breakfast though and I guess you wouldn't complain.

But you wouldn't be able to swallow me. :P

Personal (sorry if some are answered already that i didn't notice):

1...Where do you live in Brazil?

2...Have you ever been to Europe? Where?

3...Besides London, is there a place that you'd like to have a house?

4...Do you listen to rock/metal music? If yes tell me ~4 bands that reflect your taste.

Brazil related:

5...Describe Brazil in ~5 words.

6...Describe a daily routine people in Brazil can't live without doing (like for example: eat a banana :P)

7...What is something about Brazilian lifestyle that you love & hate the most?

Tennis related (since i am a big fan of the sport these are more :D):

8...Your favourite player of all time? What do you like about him/her the most?

9...Name some players outside the very top that you like/follow (upcoming young talents or older players that recently got your attention).

10...Predictions about winners of the remaining three grand slams.

11...Which player has the biggest potential to challenge Novac/Rafa for the no1 rank in your opinion?

12... Do you play? Are you good?

Hope you have fun answering :D

I would quite like to do hotseat but I won't answer any actual personal questions, my age, what I do, where I live, etc I am not happy sharing those details but anything else wouldn't mind :)

To Babz from one female football fan to another, did you like me, growing up struggle with people accepting your love of football and that you might just know as much as the guys?? ;)

1) Campinas, Sao Paulo

2) Nope

3) I don't think so, except places in Brazil

4) Metal? I don't think so. My fave bands of classic rock are Iron Maiden, Metallica, Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, . Different styles of rock I like Oasis, Nirvana, Green Day, The Offspring, Blur, Coldplay, Creed, Pearl Jam, Creedence, Clearwater, Pink Floyd, The Who, Radiohead, a bit of Queen.

5) Hot, friendly, beautiful, corrupted, great

6) Eating rice and beans every day. Most brazilians do that and we eat a lot of fresh meat as well. Also coffee (strong coffee, not the watered version we have in the US).

7) I love how friendly and carefree people are here. Really nice people. I hate the current music in general, although you can find something good here and there, but what's popular here nowadays is unbearable.

8) Pete Sampras. His volley. Steffi Graf. What's there not to like?

9) Ernest Gulbis, Tomas Berdych, Ana Ivanovic - all of which who have ups and downs in their careers. Old school: Fernando Gonzalez - the most amazing FH ever

10) Rafa, Nole, Mandy

11) Currently? No one. Stan is a fluke imo, Roger won't come back to his best, Mandy doesn't seem that much interested anymore, it seems like his big dream came true with Wimbly and he became a bit detached or less focused, can't say. Grigor Dimitrov has a lot of potential among the youngest now.

12) I used to play much better than I currently do, but I hold myself against girls and against not so great boys too :P

Thanks for asking, I definitely had fun answering :D

In real life, not much. It's in Brazilian forums that life is harder for a girl enjoying the sport (because there are a lot of very brave guys hiding behind a computer screen). In real life people just thought it was different, but didn't dismiss me. I have a lot of real life friends I talk about footie and I'm one of them, there's no mention about my gender.

I don't visit the non-football treads much but here goes :)

1. Your first World cup tournament that you remember clearly?

2. Have you been at The Bridge?

3. Do you like video games?

1. 1990. I really cheered that year, watched most matches and as I was already 10, I can remember most of it. A boy at my school - a few years older than me - said that he thought Germany would win it and when they did I was mesmerized with someone that could predict that sort of thing. lol, the world in a 10yo mind is so cute

2. Haven't been to anywhere in Europe actually :(

3. I don't play them, but I don't mind them. It requires more motor coordination than I actually have, lol. I like the RPG style though and when I gave my ex-husband a PS3 just after its release a few years ago, I bought the whole Lego collection for me to play (Batman, Star Wars, etc). It was the only thing I had enough coordination to play :lol:

I know you want Germany to win the WC, but do you think they will? They have been pretty bad this year, they don't have a striker and their defense has been in shambles. Could their midfield alone win them a WC?

I think they're the favorites, not only my favorites.

I don't fancy Argentina, and they're unpredictable, always losing to the one team you wouldn't expect, Brazil is struggling, Spain isn't in the peak anymore, Belgium I don't think can reach the final, Netherlands are also in the down side of their peak... Italy? Maybe, but I'm not quite so sure... To be honest, I don't feel like any NT is arriving to this WC at their best form compared to how they were from 2011 until now.

But then everything chances in the WC. I think the most likely to win in order are 1) Germany 2) Brazil 3) Italy 4) Argentina

The one thing that should be noted about Brazil is that this current team grows directly proportional to the high of what's at stake. Expect them to start the WC tentative and even struggling, and then to grow as the tournament advances. There's this determination in that squad somehow and I don't know if it comes from them or from Felipão.

I think the pressure on Brazil will be their undoing. But why didn't you mention France? They've got a good young squad and little pressure on their shoulders.

They normally fluke... unless it's against Brazil, then they become their best, :lol:

I don't rate them yet.

I don't know how this team will handle the pressure. WC can't be compared to Confed Cup. As far as I'm aware (which I'm not entirely, Rapha could confirm or say otherwise) there was no pressure for the CC.
