Benjamin stuck in a sea of green and yellow at a pre-World Cup warm-up match between Brazil and New Zealand. I think any Brazilian within a day's drive converged on Stade de Geneve to support their team. They are certainly a roudy bunch, with drums and whistles and costumes.

We got to see the famous Ronaldo and Ronaldinho up close. Brazil won 4 to 0. The real thing starts this week and lasts a month. It's going to be football madness around Europe. The folks here are REALLY into it. Go USA!
