I’m sorry but this post has only a little to do with Estonia… but more with Football.
As any good Brazilian, I love football and, as most decent Brazilians, I support Flamengo, from Rio de Janeiro. And my dear team won the Rio Cup yesterday, for the 7th time, over Botafogo.
Flamengo has the biggest number of supporters in the world, not considering supporters abroad.
I was at a bar last week, it was football night and it was interesting to see how the supporters behave here.
Yes, there were some scores, but the celebration was so small that I couldn’t identify when it was really a score or almost a score. Even my grandma can be more effective in supporting a team.
It was also surprising that at the same bar, two matches were on at the same time and two groups of supporters were there.
Well, this is a small country. I guess a bar can do that and be full.
We were with an Argentinian couple and they were as surprised as I was.
In Brazil the match on a pub depends on the team of the owner and only one match is enough to close the place, so crowded it gets.
Anyways, it’s interesting. It’s a different way of supporting, but it made me miss my country. I miss all the noise, celebration, jokes and closeness that this occasion brings.
I miss this passion!
