Drums in the Deep - Maracana

---

Awsome.

Rolled up to watch Fluminensi Vs Sao Paulo.

Stadium holds 80-90k we think and although there were only 5-6k at the game the atmosphere was quality. The drums and singing started and didnt stop till the end - excellent.

The footie itself was very good, containing everything you would expect from the Brazillians. Knocking the ball out from the back, Bravenbour-esque centre halves overhead kick clearences. Caskey-esque keepers straying outside the 6-yrd box.

Sao Paulo are currently top of the league and expectant winners so were a bit stunned when Flumi went ahead. Sao Paulo finally won 1-2.

After the footie a few of us went for a Churasscaria - all you can eat meat feast! These are very popular here along with the Kilo restaurant where food is weighed. The meat is amazing and we all had the meat sweats that evening and developed a disliking for daylight and some fangs.
