Soccer match

Well, my Sunday here in the south of Brazil was very good. It could better if my soccer team (Grêmio, in Brazil) scored a goal in an important soccer match for the Brazilian Championship. My stepdad, my brother and I went to see Grêmio playing against Flamengo, the most popular soccer team in Brazil, this afternoon, at the Olímpico stadium, in Porto Alegre.

I'm usually very discreet in a soccer match, I don't usually shout, sing or swear at the referee. On the contrary, my brother is a typical soccer fan: he shouts, sings and swears. But I cheer when my team scores a goal...

Both teams played really good (with Grêmio playing better), but the score remained blank during the whole game (0-0). The fans performed a fantastic show, supporting the team all the time and saying things like "son of a b***h". Anyways, the spectacle was worthy of watching.

That finishes my soccer report for the day. Before I go, there's something I'd like to say: during this fall (in the Southern Hemisphere), we had a lot of power interruptions here in Porto Alegre. Brazil has one of the most expensive electricity prices in the world and a state-owned power company provides a crap of service to the population. They take long to restore the power, and their phone number for emergencies is always busy, disregarding the population. And more: this company is not ready for catastrophes, like cyclones and hurricanes, showing the total lack of care for others. I'm fond of those things, and I think this company (called CEEE) should be privatized and well managed. That's all, folks!
