A semi-mysterious video

There many things I am not sure about these days. Here are some of them:

• I am not exactly sure who wrote or performed the music/poem. Is it even a poem or just some guy talking?
• I am also not exactly sure about the relationship between the soundtrack and the video. The video appears to be about the 1950 World Cup final between Uruguay and Brazil. Did the same people make both?
• I'm not even totally certain what language this is, although I think it's Italian.

I am pretty sure that this is in Dutch.

Great moments in World Cup history #7

Here are four different views of the same goal-- Fabio Grosso's against Germany deep into extra time of the 2006 semifinals. All four are worth watching. This is basically the goal that convinced me to root for Italy in the final against France.

Dificil de Domar - Garotas Suecas

Using my rudimentary knowledge of Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish, I believe that the title means, "Trouble Sleeping." I could be wrong, however.

Questions you might have about Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina

1. In a foot race to first base, who would get there first - you or Yadier Molina?
2. Yadier Molina has two brothers who have also won the World Series - Bengie Molina and Jose Molina (2002 California Angels). Has any other group of brothers ever done anything like that?
3. When Yadier Molina sits around before, during, and after games talking to Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, what language do they speak in - English or Spanish?
