Great game against Portugal on Sunday.
So do any of you have european ancestry that is only really important during obscure drinking holidays and international tournaments?

the disastrous austerity measures enforced in order to afford glitzy multimillion dollar stadium facilities, the state-sanctioned brutalization of fans outside the complex, the blatant racism proudly on display by fans at the games, the spike in sex trafficking and underage prostitution
sure what's not to love

Arlos wrote:As for the sex trade, remember that prostitution is legal in Brazil. Obviously children being involved is heinous, but ordinary prostitution ramping up, I don't see that as a problem, to be honest. Also, I don't think it's soccer specific. You'd have exactly the same sort of things going on if they had the Olympics, say.

If you dont like soccer, fine, dont watch it, but why blame it on some ridiculous random theory like child sex trafficking hahaha
