Maracana


Went to a football match on Sunday to see one of the big four Rio teams play, Flumenese. There must of been only 20,000 people there, but the noise they made it seemed like there was 20 times as much. The Maracana use to hold about 200,000 people just over a year ago, but they put seats in the ground because FIFA was moaning. Anyway it now holds 96,000. All I can say is I would of love to be there even if it was full, the atmosphere would of been amazing. Everyone left happy, they would 2-0. By the way, beer porters brought the good stuff to you, only 3 reis a pop! The photo is the half time entertainment, this old codger managed to keep the ball up for the hold break, kicking it all the way around the pitch! Classic
