N/S - Football in Brazil

Being brazilian, I can confirm that the growth of american football here has been ridiculous.

It will never be bigger than soccer, but I can totally see it being the #2 sport down the road, especially now that soccer giants like Corinthians and Fluminense FC have their own football team. Some games, like the the final of the Brazilian League, are even being televised by ESPN here in Brazil.

I have 2 buddies who signed with the Corinthians for this season. I'll PM you b/c I have some questions about Brazil anyway.

I don't know in the us, but here people say "You go to bed with a dressed-up brazilian woman, and you wake up with a naked brazilian man" :hihi:

Just kidding ofc :ezbill: glad football is on the rise in any place in the whole world, here in italy it's not really anything special

You'd be surprised. Check out John Grisham's book Playing for Pizza. It's a novel based on an actual American Football team in Italy. The game's been going on there for a while, and even though they've kind of stagnated Italy used to boast one of the most competitive leagues in Europe (along with Germany and Austria).

You should talk to BelfastSaint. I met him while I was playing football in Ireland (played against each other). He is a hell of player and one of the best football minds you'll come across.
