I couldn't decently think of writing about Brasil without football. For those who wouldn't know (Which I think is more like they do not WANT to) right now is the World Cup of Football. So FWC is not so bad, actually this year it looks like a brazilian novela (TV show, Dallas) where Domeneck-Jr is screwing badly with Govou-Sue Helen's sister, Anelka, forced to leave the country or he'll be killed (fun story to read here, but zaaat is nooot in French, zut-alors if you pleeeeeeze?). Anyway it is a great deal of fun if you think of these boys like roughnecks in a rig, except they are paid like the boss of the company, so you produce a gang of sissies that think of their makeup before torkin' that gaddam riser!!!(slightly pushed south Louisiana accent). The real story is appalling if you do not take it on the fun side I'm afraid, let us not talk about this now, I'll feel ashame of myself and start apologizing for everything (even the police font of this blog, and you don't want a stinky-cheese-sparkling-wine frenchy to do that would you??). So I'm in Brasil and I support... Brasil of course, I mean I don't have a problem against North Korea but if I have to support a team, which happens once every 4 years, better be a worthy one right?? As a good supporter I do not work during matches (a-n-y match!), I spend the whole 90 min of any Brasil game standing up my fist against the Brazilian flag of my chest. I do jump every time I hear the "Brasiiiii-iiiiiiii-iiiiiiii-iiiiiiillllll sampler they put every time they score, even @ 5am South Africa time (roughly 1 am here). I do scream at Argentinian supporter, bark at every Argentinian flag, shirt, stripe, pants, underwear, pin, coffee cup and other thing that can remind me of a light blue and white stripe or a thin guy with a dodgy hair cut (long hair on the back and short on the head) with a approximate beard. So good to feel like I'm lobotomized...
In Copacabana there is this... beach yes, that is called Copacabana beach (thanks, now I feel intelligent!!) FIFA put on 2 massive screens to play the games live, one is closed to play concerts in between, this other is fully open. Both of them are free but the one with concerts is of a limited capacity and fills in (last time I checked) 3 hours before the game start... the second has not even started, and I do not believe it will go less if Brasil carries on like that. So I went there and watched Brasil vs. Ivory Coast. I was amazed by the phenomenon that football is here. I mean, I see the banners all around the city, things you did not see in France in 98, people painted, pavement pagged with brazilian icons and cartoons and everybody wears the brazilian shirt. Most of them are from black market but hey, what do you think? they'll all buy the official Nike 100$ shirt with 5 starts when they ALL think they're going to win again so they'll have an obsolete 5 start shirt?? Brasil is the country of fútebol and there is no question about that. Mr english men you can go back home and cry, you're not even a match as supporters. When they scored 1-0, 2-0 , 3-0 it was like I scored myself. the 3-1 (I did not shoot it unfortunately) was salty and the rest was felt like injustice, you could feel it in the air, very entertaining. Now I know what football means, and what supporting and passion means. Brazilian leave a lot like that, very passionate people. Thinking that now I might see again some higher up games, I am really looking forward to the adrenaline. I'll keep you posted, send you the videos.
Have a nice evening
