I didn't want to be rude so I faked excitement when they stood up a cheered. Final score as I recall was 2-0 Brasil. Ho hum. To me, it was a few guys taking turns kicking a ball back and forth, up and down a field. They'd screw up a few times and the ball would go into this net thingy. I suppose that net was there so the ball wouldn't go into the moat? They were all cheering this one guy named Peeleo or Paylay or something. He'd do flips while kicking the ball or run around the opposing guy and make him look like an idiot. That part was funny. Why didn't he just kick the ball straight up? Nobody could tell me that.
