all right first ever brazilian football experience i'd like to start the vlog by saying this i was
born and raised in canada which is not exactly a football country right to say the least
that's right but growing up i really knew i was aware that brazil is the greatest country in the
world at football most world cups and most famous players that i was aware of growing up wow so my
point is in canada we don't even know the name of this game i still call this for soccer but i
knew that brazil was the best i remember playing video games and if my friend or my opponent chose
the brazilian national team i would just forfeit the match because the team was too good it wasn't
even a fun game so obviously this is not the brazilian national team right but this is our new
favorite team homerus right i was uh advised or almost commanded by my brazilian friend he says
when you're in brazil you cheer for palmyras because this is a really big deal right right
right right so ivana and i are super excited for this this is in fact the last game of the season
we've got some uh trophies on the sidelines really looking forward to this uh this morning ivana and
i went to something called the museum of football right which we weren't really sure what to expect
because it's not every day you see a museum of a sport but what i can tell you is the museum did
justice that's right if this is the greatest football country then that was the greatest
football museum because any good museum will have lots of different ways to present the information
to you and the museum of football did just that it kept going on and on and every room
had a whole new theme and a whole new style and tons of really great exhibits we were
learning how to cheer with creative production screens we were playing on the ground with
heads up
all right the good guys have arrived the home team has made their first appearance
very nice a little uh loudspeaker music people say i prefer the live music yeah
they're practicing right now they're warming up hopefully the stadium will get more full
um like i was saying we saw ivana make a beautiful save on a virtual penalty kick right museum
good job and i tried my my foot at a free kick which was really a pathetic attempt
you got blocked
that was embarrassing good try like i said growing up in canada i don't have these skills right
but with sincerity the museum was absolutely fantastic it was 20 real per person to enter
which is a total steal absolutely worth it lots of great information lots of different
exhibits uh and it was in english which was really helpful right right for a non-portuguese
speaker everything was in english on the phone on the audio absolutely love the museum and with
that we are super excited for this game to start which will start in about one hour wait in about
an hour it will start this is a smaller stadium than usual it's cold bedtime yes everyone here
is fully vaccinated yeah we gotta show proof of vaccinations for a vaccination to get in
on the outside of the stadium it's a little bit uh dark so we're kind
of nervous being out after dark we don't want to get in trouble yeah but it seems very safe
there's cops everywhere everything's going to be fine i think i'm super excited for palmeiras
here we go i think i'll buy a green jersey all right a nice souvenir if every country is uh
i should say football jersey not soccer okay let's watch it hey good timing
let's look at this
knows the chance next step you found it you've got to get a tattoo on your leg of home
i think i saw a guy with a palmer's tattoo that's dedication that's dedication
alrighty final score prediction what do you got five four two zero
four what course we're gonna win of course okay two nil i think if you're uh doing soccer speak oh
good one guys it's a shirt
okay guys so we're off to a bit of a bad start it seems like there's no popcorn available
which i thought was a universal truth if you're watching sports you're eating popcorn
that's okay i'm hoping no alcohol that's okay no alcohol but the popcorn is a must
but i'm hoping we can redeem ourselves with some firecrackers and some flares
i'm hoping these boys can get lively and make it uh make it exciting i got faith in them
all right let the games begin
let the games begin
look at the line over here
all right prepare for some very canadian opinions here but i've never sat this close
to the field before and what i can tell you is football is way more violent than i thought oh
yeah i thought it was a very gentle game because i grew up playing hockey which is a sport where
you can just punch each other in the face right in the game and it's allowed what i can tell you is
these boys are all over each other smashing into each other and everything is happening
way faster than i thought because before in romania and in serbia we saw football matches
but we were sitting way up top yeah and it looks very slow and the crosses have been slow
sorry i thought they were gonna score a goal almost but what i can tell you is
is happening very fast right there it seems like
these guys uh could run with the ball in their feet they could dribble faster than i could sprint
if i was running with no ball and they had a ball they would very impressive
all right first impressions of brazilian football absolutely love the chance
i'm gonna do it as i got a hang of the first one we got a new one
all ah guys we've got a brief water break happening here
and so i'll take this time to say this there is a word in brazilian portuguese
uh sounds like poha not sure what it means but everyone is saying it and i think it might mean
darn you referee something about whenever the referee is involved we say poha is it a swear word
oh from the big jersey to all the guys took off
the small jerseys all the guys took off their shirts a good one that's a good one
hey
all right first half takeaways honestly my calf muscles are hurting i've been standing and kind
of bouncing on my toes the whole time this is our first time sitting down uh-huh i will say a
little disappointed no fireworks first second half fireworks right and i will say there's a guy in
our team with the red shoes on last name kevin i think he's the one who scored unbelievable player
that's very very fast so we've obviously never sent this close before but i think this is the
best football we've seen yeah maybe my romanian and my serbian friends will be mad but i think
these teams would beat those teams i could be wrong they're very good when you're down here
at field level it's happening so fast it's way more violent than i knew and uh incredible the
fans the fans they're fun yeah yeah it's uh it's a vocal affair all right we're turning around and
yelling things and uh all right it's very exciting okay so hopefully we can extend our lead in the
second half i think i gotta buy a green shirt yes i feel like i'm the only one now in green
all right second half all right so we're learning that these two trophies over here
may be the south american cup because my boys in green won the south american
cup just two weeks ago right and very interesting that the two teams in the final
for all of south america were both from brazil furthering my beliefs that this is the best
football in the world also surprising they're watering the field at half yeah
it's gonna be wet for the second half it's gonna be a slick pitch in the second half
hope it won't be slippery hopefully it won't be slippery all right here we go
down here that guy tackled us like it was american football over here free kick for them
i don't even know the name of the sport i know that's a bad goal i'm talking about this is uh
oh
tell you what these guys in white are keeping it close
down here at field level is the best way to watch
oh nice play dude
wait that was on us
another yellow for us and that was i thought they were gonna yell i was cheering oh my gosh
again i can't i can't anytime it's close and they contend for the ball
the ref blows the whistle and gives us a yellow card or them a free kick or something
no matter what either the fans will push the game or the game will push the fans
it always goes up the energy at the end of the game always goes up man
so i think there's about 10 minutes left and uh we can't get the ball out of our own zone
and the reps are hating us hopefully we can hold on to our one nothing win yeah defense defense
because we won this south america cup three times let's go with three champions
all right there you have it guys first things first one game we went to in romania
we won one game in serbia we won one game in brazil we won so if your team has an
important match coming feel free to give us some free tickets we can guarantee victory
uh that being said it was different in each country what i like about brazil is not just the
fans behind the net are going wild but the fans all around us are going well that's true that's
true so it's sort of the whole arena is going wild no explosions and no fireworks and no smoke which
is a little disappointing but uh it was safe it was fun the energy was awesome and i love how as
the game energy goes up the crowd energy goes up lots of screaming lots of uh every time the ref
got involved it's a bad call or a good call and it's uh really really great so absolutely loved it
one um palmer now we gotta figure out how to get home because it's kind of far
from uh downtown area here and i will say this we were sort of nervous before but
i was uh it's all good that was safe there's no no alcohol which is a good idea
and so everyone's doing okay it's all brightly lit there's no tons of police and everything
totally safe one day we will stand in that north part where all the crazy fans are
behind the net one day one day we'll go behind the net but i'm not sure if you can bring a
camera there so we'll see what we can do but uh here we are back in the street time to go home
everyone's going home now and there's a pizza guy
over there who's got styrofoam boxes full of hot pizza this yellow pizza guy pizza guy
or something like that and i'm thinking about buying a whole pizza and eating it in an uber
i'm not going to eat a pizza but right the more he yells the more hungrier i get pizza guy pizza guy
people are walking by with pizzas it's very enticing
