Hold on, you say you lived in Rio & Sao Paulo and before you said you don't know what the world cup is...ridiculo. Maybe you lived as a hermit in Brasil.

Default Seriously

Rio is a quick hop from Sau Paulo, Sau Paulo is like India plus Crack Cocaine, and all 20 million of them will be there for their olympics. Have fun!

Default or..

or... she owns or manages delivery centers there that take advantage of the massive unemployed poor population to deliver cheap IT and call center services for Fortune 500 companies, and doesn't give two shakes about South American sports (just like the rest of us). Now Carribbean league baseball THAT gets my attention.


Also we didn't want the Olympics that bad. We DEFINITELY don't care about the World Cup...

It's just soccer. I don't really want to have to google it.
Because SOCCER IS FOR WOMEN DON'T YOU KNOW?!?!
