Brazil’s Beautiful Music

I remember reading on our Brazil blog that they players sometimes do play music on the team bus to stay loose before the matches.

It reminded a little of Confederations Cup, when, after the final, the players broke the protocol to grab instruments to celebrate in the field. Maybe YouTube have that. I’ll look for it later :)

Dude, those things are too fun to watch:) You know, it is probably a marketing scheme for us to buy more Nike products but kudos to them to try and bring back the fun and excitement to the game. It makes me want to go out in my backyard and try some fun tricks:)

A recent study claims that in countries ranging from Brazil to Hungary to Thailand roughly half of all commercials will refer to football in one way or another.
