Football fever

Brazil. World Cup 2010. Wow. I don´t think there´s any other country I would have rather been in, well, perhaps Argentina.

First, work is cancelled during game hours and after... you can`t work whilst drunk can you!?
Secondly, the transport is stopped, the roads are blocked and the stage is brought out.
Thirdly, the streets become flashes of yellow and green.

Ready for the gaaaaame! The streets crowd with brazilians, gringos, children and adults. The cars are tooting, the crowd are shouting and beeping and whistling and singing. The noise is incredible. The atmosphere is addictive and literally crawls under your skin. You don´t dare support another team. If the Brazilians can get that excited about football, I imagine they can get pretty angry too.......

The game starts and as soon as one of the stars shoot and scores.................


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

People grab each other, throw their beer into the air with exhaltation, jump around, dance hand in hand. A happy moment.

If Brazil wins, the street erupts into song and dance. And for the next 3 hours you`re dancing in the rain, not caring for one second because the football madness has possessed you and you are officially ADDICTED.

FORÇA BRASIL!

Your biggest fan,
