Today I was invited to some friends house to see Brasil's first game in the world cup, against North Korea, and I was instructed to wear something yellow, green or blue. So 25 Brasilians and one Norwegian were glued to a big-screen TV . And when they scored the long awaited first goal in the second half, the emotions that were released in the room and all over the neighborhood were overwhelming. Fireworks after one goal says it all. During the game it was official national holiday for 90 minutes. Shops closed, rush hour was moved back from five to two o clock because everyone was going some place to see the game and all buses and metro stopped. I don't think there exists one single person here that does not like football. Vai Brasil !
