God I love Brazillian women.
Please read the rest of the thread to gain the proper perspective on my original post.

I don't care for soccer but the World Cup is fun to watch when the home team is involved. I remember many years ago I was on vacation in Honduras during the World Cup and staying at a small oceanside resort. They had an outdoor bar that would be packed with Hondurans watching the cup matches and just whooping and hollering like our Super Bowl bar parties here.
It was great fun being around those folks who know the game and really get into it........
In this day and age of globalism, it’s refreshing to have one month of solid nationalistic fervor.
My sentiments also apply to cycling and the Tour de France.....
On my numerous trips to Honduras, you would see these little kids in small villages out in the cow pastures running around barefoot playing soccer with beat up old soccer balls...None of them had shoes and they probably never saw a new soccer ball in their lives......but they were really having fun.
I bet they were thrilled when Jonathan Bornstein scored that goal against Costa Rica that clinched the spot for Honduras.
