I have been neglecting my duties as the blogger in the family and feel I must repent. Therefore...let me finish reminising about our trip to Brasil...hey, there is nothing wrong with posting a month late...So, since it was my third time to Brasil Berns figured it was about due time to experience the "religion" that Brasil is and got tickets to a soccer game! It was his favorite team against...well...um...that doesnt matter. The whole fam (and quite a few of the extended fam) dressed up in their black and white attire (I think they look like referees) and chanted Galo's theme song. The team is called Atletico--their mascot is a Galo...or in English terms a Rooster.
These games are INTENSE. This was just a normal, everyday, no big deal game and there was atleast 45,000 people there. They are LOUD, and CRAZY, and INSANE...but very very fun. Picture going to the superbowl on steroids. I cant even imagine what a final game or champion game must look like.
I video taped the fans as they scored...but i cant for the life of me find where I put the video, so I just pasted one from youtube...
The game was great fun...even if it did start at 10pm. I highly suggest it to anyone going to Brasil. Afterall, Brasil isnt Brasil without soccer and crazy roosters...

Fun! I want to marry a Brazilian and go to a soccer game in Brazil! Since I can't have the first part (Rob only knows like two words in Portuguese) nor can I afford the second, I will have to be content with driving around Framingham, MA which has the highest concentration of Brazilians in the US. You should visit - it's like Little Brazil! I'll even find a soccer game for you...or a Patriots game would be similar.
great post, but you shoul place theses videos instead...I recorded them a couple of years ago...

What's with a game not beginning until 10pm, a game that is for family? In order to be televised to Portugal or some such place?
