中国国家队是迄今为止输给巴西队最少的世界杯球队，可喜可贺啊

北京时间今天凌晨2点，2014年巴西世界杯开幕式正式展现在全球观众的面前。早在开幕式开始之前，人们就已经知道这次的开幕式将会只有25分钟的时间，而当开幕式真的开始之后，人们发现，这次的世界杯开幕式相比较以往的世界杯开幕式来说，不仅仅时间短，精彩程度也明显不如之前，很可能在不久的时间内就会被人们遗忘。

　　说是“最炫民族风”，是因为本届开幕式确实用几个篇幅展现了巴西当地的风俗民情，通过各种舞蹈展现了传统文化。说这届开幕式“最简”，是因为整个时长只有25分钟，只有98年的法国世界杯的开幕式时间和这次的一样短，想要用这么短的时间呈现大量内容，未免有点浮光掠影的感觉。

对比90年意大利世界杯圣西罗球场的服装盛会，94年美国世界杯好莱坞式的明星同台争奇斗艳，98年法国世界杯的奇幻，02年的东方“阿里郎”风情，这次的巴西世界杯开幕式确实显得有点特点不足。众所周知，巴西最大的名片就是足球和桑巴，虽然这两样在这次的开幕式中也有展示，但是总体给人的视觉冲击并不强，没有留下太深刻的印象。主题曲是世界杯的一个重要组成部分，但是本届世界杯主题曲《We Are One》，远远没有98年世界杯主题曲《生命之杯》那么让人热血喷张，更没有90年意大利世界杯主题曲《意大利之夏》的优雅文艺范儿，只能说是中规中矩。

　　本来人们对于世界杯的开幕式就很难留下什么深刻的印象，而以巴西这次的开幕式的表演效果，恐怕在未来也将很快被遗忘在球迷的脑海中。不过当然，相比较开幕式，人们更愿意看到精彩的球赛，希望这次的巴西可以为外界奉献出一届成功漂亮的世界杯大战。http://roll.sohu.com/20140613/n400818361.shtml

The adidas brazuca, the Official Match Ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, was given a fittingly spectacular launch on Tuesday 3 December. The iconic Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro provided a picturesque venue, while a breathtaking 3D light projection show wowed attendees including former Netherlands international Clarence Seedorf and Brazil great Cafu.

The brazuca, which means 'Brazilian' and refers to the Brazilian way of life, is the most-tested adidas ball in history. It was, over a two-and-a-half-year period, tried out by over 600 of the world’s top players or former players including Iker Casillas, Dani Alves, Lionel Messi, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Zinedine Zidane, and 30 teams in ten countries across three continents. The brazuca was also used at a selection of international football matches, albeit with a different design, including a friendly between Sweden and Argentina last February.

The brazuca’s colours and ribbon design of the ball panels symbolise the traditional multi-coloured wish bracelets worn in the country, in addition to reflecting the vibrancy and fun associated with football in the South American country. It has a new structural innovation, with a unique symmetry of six identical panels alongside a different surface structure will provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch.

adidas’ series of Official Match Balls have a unique place in FIFA World Cup history and, according to some of the men expected to use it at Brazil 2014, the brazuca is set to create its own legacy just as the likes of the Telstar, Tango and Tricolore did previously.

"The brazuca has a stunning design that feels inspired by Brazil,” said Casillas. “Now the ball has been launched, the tournament feels a lot closer. I'm looking forward to playing in Brazil with a great ball.”

Dani Alves added: “My first impression of the brazuca is of a ball that is fantastic, and we're going to have a lot of fun with it. adidas has created an incredible-looking ball fitting for a tournament as big as the FIFA World Cup. Most importantly, it plays well on the ground and in the air. I'm sure all the players will love it! It's increased my levels of excitement even further and I honestly can’t wait for the opening game!"

The brazuca will be available to purchase globally from Wednesday 4 December in selected adidas retail outlets, associated stockists and via FIFA.com’s official Store. Furthermore, any child born in Brazil on 3 December, the day of its official launch, was entitled to a free Brazuca courtesy of adidas.
