World Cup!

I watched Brazil's first world cup game yesterday, and yes, I am rooting for the yellow and green guys over EUA (USA). As my friend Anna said, futebol is such a huge part of the culture here, and copo do mundo games are literally like national holidays. Everyone takes off work, dresses up, and goes to the bars with friends to watch the game. I root for Brazil because soccer means so much to this country, whereas in the United States, a majority of the people could care less about the world cup. It really is amazing to see an entire nation united in the name of Brazilian Futebol.
