Brazilians

The world cup is on right now and I would like to say, from personal experience and close observation, that the Brazians are some of the craziest fans there are. My bosses, Lu and Jef, are from Brazil and we close down the shop and get the afternoon or morning off every time there is a game. Everyone on our team heads out to the bar to watch the game and about a hundred Brazilians come out. Jef hooked up an airhorn to a scuba tank and we all got kicked out of the bar the first game for being too loud. They wear their Brazilian shirts and jersey’s and bring a GIANT Brazilian flag that they wave in front of the TV while jumping up and down every time there is a goal. Jef and Lu never yell, if you make a mistake at work they explain how to fix it but never get mad. I figured out why…it’s because they take out all their anger when they are at the games. They SCREAM at the top of their lungs at the TV in Portuguese, wave their fists and curse the other team. Let’s just say they are intense!
