What kind of Brazilian blog would this be if I didn’t mention the beautiful game?

Sunday afternoon we bought scalper tickets for 20 reais (not too good, but that’s what we get for not planning ahead) and watched the Bahian team Vitoria lose to the team from Minas Gerais (Cruzeiros). This is a video from the comparatively empty side where we were sitting. The other side with the local fans was a wee bit more rowdy. It’s funny to hear jeering and cheering in another language and stranger still to see vendors selling acarajé instead of hotdogs.

  1. Hey Rach that's nice!!!
    So, you could take the opportunity to watch my wonderful team (Cruzeiro) there in Salvador :D! Could you understand the supporters singing: "ÔÔO O campeão voltou, o campeão voltou, o campeão voltoooou"!! hahaha! Now there are just 4 rounds left and I hope we are the champions this year!
    By the way, even though you were in the less crowded side, did you enjoy the game? Hope you did!

    Ok, see you soon. Take care and God bless you!
