The jam-packed 62,103 crowd that stuffed into the Sao Paulo stadium stood still when Marcelo made the infamous record of scoring the first goal in the Brazil 2014 World Cup. But when the goals came, the Brazilian girls let down their tops to keep abreast of the celebration. A Brazilian had informed me that when goals were scored, that I should look towards beautiful girls who dressed like cheerleaders in Basketball.

And true to prediction, they lift up their skirts and let down their tops for an electric celebration of goals. The sporadic noise from their corner was deafening. Many men gazed in expectation of more goals and in the process missed the live goals but thank God for giant TV replays. If one missed the Neymar goal that brought scores to 1-1, not the cheeky penalty that prepared us to look more on the cheerleaders. And when the Barcelona lad hit the ball and the keeper cheekily parried into his net, the gowns were lifted while tops gave way in this weird manner of celebrations.

Before this, Jennifer Lopez had led the party of bum-bastic Brazilians when she appeared in a tight short that revealed the massive ‘Ukwu’ during the official World Cup song ‘We Are One’ with rapper Pitbull. Outside the stadium, there were more fun for those who watched on TV and those who modeled in revealing outfits that all added to the glamour and glitz of the World. Give it to Brazilians!
 
Young Shall Grow, Ekene Dili Chukwu ply Brazilian roads
The sight of Marcopolo buses that maneuver the roads and ferry passengers to and fro was akin to Nigeria, where  the likes of Young Shall Grow, Ekene dili Chukwu, Izu Chukwu and others ferry passengers from Lagos to other parts of the country and vice versa.
Brazil remains the headquarters of luxury buses and they rolled out the buses to complement the fast electric trains and the taxis to accommodate the World who are here for the World Cup. Unlike the Nigerian buses, the Brazilian buses remain in good condition with air conditioners working and TVs for the pleasure of passengers. They are unlike the Nigerian buses that have been torn apart by bad roads. The road network in Brazil is good and the vehicles are a good reflections of the roads.
