Brazil - Croatia: 1-0

I just wanted to write about the way Brazilians gathered downtown to celebrate Brazil's victory in it's first World Cup game. I loved the atmosphere... people singing, honking their cars' horns, waving their national flag... it reminded me of our own games against Croatia and Sweden. Of course, that's what we would've done IF we had won, but no one can deny the emotion we felt while painting our parents' sheets or during the game. Victory is sweet... but even sweeter are the anticipation, the fun you have with friends and neighbours before the game or the "nice" words you use after a goal from the opponent or an occasion your team has missed. Mmmmm...
