Brazil's it entered the World Cup XIX name! But before you talk about this match actually quite laborious to Seleção (and especially to share with you some pictures of the fabulous site assembled for the occasion on the legendary Copacabana beach), I wanted to come back all the excitement Rio has taken the city of Rio in recent weeks, culminating in the final days and final hours leading up to the entrance competing team amarelinha in this World Cup in South Africa.
This fever that puts every 4 years to Brazil's Seleção time, in a form of merger very well explained elsewhere by the anthropologist Roberto DaMatta on an excellent blog which I can heartily recommend that reading, that of a certain Antony Dumas, said the "Frenchman in Rio", is found especially in the area ... commercial. Small pictures with this mini-photo essay on the streets of Rio Centro, specifically in the commercial district of the Saara, yesterday Monday, the day before so the "clash" against the North Korean ...
The least we can say is that Brazilians have been in tune with their national team! Here it goes yellow and green! :)
short, after shopping smoothly carried out, it only remained to find the perfect place to witness the first match of the Seleção this Copa ... And what a place more magical than the beach Copacabana could we elect for this event? Indeed, Rio de Janeiro is one of six cities (the others being Rome, Paris, Berlin, Sidney and Mexico City) chosen by FIFA to host the "Fan Fest " - by more than 9 South African cities: this is a promotional event of course (the sponsors of FIFA are everywhere), but whose great merit is to provide live all matches of the World Cup on a giant screen high definition beautifully crafted! All the feet in the sand, in a space big enough to accommodate nearly 20,000 spectators!
And the least we can say is that we were not disappointed by the framework. Sun had a huge guest for the occasion, and after entering the place after all peaceful (but almost morning, nearly 1:30 before the game!), the big crowd had gathered near the telão (big screen) to enjoy the show:
And my faith in the light of the match itself, the show was finally over on the beach in Johannesburg! I would not go back too much on the game itself, you've probably seen the results and comments that followed. What I would say is that Brazil has not reassured his fans during the opening match, like other selections supposed to be favorites (England, France, Italy ...), but that unlike them, Brazil has at least won. This game ultimately is not unlike what we saw benefits from other highly rated selections, such as Argentina or the Netherlands, who won without appeal.
In essence, Brazilians (the people) seems rather pleased with this introduction, which allows them not to hypothecate in terms of results but continue to well-dauber on coach Dunga, who has become more interest in returning with the Cup if he does not want to spend on the scaffold and popular media for Because playing timid. And it is certainly the most boring: play against North Korea with only 3 (!) Offensive-oriented players (Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano), this is definitely not the samba football and people like it very sparingly to arabesques fans Ronaldinho (not selected for the Copa , it must be remembered ...). Not to mention that 2 of the 3 offensive players are clearly in it (the first two named), in the line of a rotten season at Real Madrid for one in Seville for the other, and that Robinho (very Good afternoon I found) can not do everything alone!
Go to end beauty and before giving you more news from Seleção by his next match against the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire (what a crap game we were offered with Portugal), I enclose a short film taken from life in the seconds that followed the goal of Maicon (the 1-0 for Brazil so). The whole beach is melting! :)
