Futebol...

...Brazilian style, and one could ask what other style is there!

I went to my first ever football match in Brazil this evening; Botafogo lost at home to Vasco by two goals to nil in a match that will go a long way to decide the national championship. Vasco are now in a very strong position.

I took this at half time and I hope it conveys something of the cauldron-like atmosphere which pervaded the night.
