Hey, Jack, where are the keys?
It is morning now, and I was at the WC when you closed the bar! I am trapped inside!
So I decided to go to the freezer to look for some alcohol-free-beer bottles - that's because I decided to stop drinking. Not anymore, after last Sunday derby watered with hot beer, and after that hangover. Seriously, that's for good... Hey, where are the alcohol-free-beer??????
I will brake a window to get out. Need to work. And please, when you reopen the bar this afternoon, please tell to the barman to give Paul Mantz a bottle of whatever he drinks, at my expenses, for this:

A little more about Cruzeiro Esporte Clube: I am quite sure that all of you people (even being USA "soccerless", "fake-football-fan" people) already knows Pelé. For those that doesn't know, he was the main player of what is still acclaimed as the world's best football team ever existed: Santos Futebol Clube... Well, what not everybody knows is that, when Santos F. C. was in its acme in middle 1960s, amazing the entire world, Santos faced the (until that day) unknown Cruzeiro on the Brazilian National Football Championship finals. What to expect from a duel like that? Nothing less than a massacre of Santos over the (at that time) little Cruzeiro... But when those young boys dressed in blue begun the show, Pelé became astonished. The result of the first match: Cruzeiro 6 x 2 Santos!!! The little Tostão (my idol) begun to show his art to the rest of the world. The press became amazed. That was a national commotion.
In the second match, on Santos Stadium, after the first half Santos was winning the game (2 x 0), and during the break they really thought that would turn the table, forcing a third match... But Cruzeiro team (whose mascot is the "Raposa", fox in Portuguese) made 3 goals on the second half, shutting up the stadium. Epic.
Conclusion: what was the best football team of the history? Easy answer: Cruzeiro 1966!!! Just because it won the almighty Santos of Pelé with a large advantage of goals. Simply as that.
Sorry for this subject, but as a Brazilian, I couldn't last longer in this forum without talking about football (I won't use the word soccer anymore here on this bar, by the way - when I say "football", you know what I mean).
And I am still trapped here! Please, call Coop!
