Footbal in Rio
I will not ever "cheer" against a team from Rio. My "Carioquice", which is never localism, because Rio is not localist, as we translate a whole of Brazil here. We have cariocas from Argentina, cariocas from São Paulo, cariocas from Great Britain. To be carioca you don't need deny their origin. After 17 years, the football team that represents a country, can be National Champion. Yes there are teams that are iconic and reflect a country and Flamengo represents Brazil. With brazilian contrasts. Flamengo is the largest fan in the elite and the slum. As much as Fluminense has its elitist aura-like a english Chelsea, Botafogo its traditional bohemian and intellectualized and Vasco the real time of the poors. Flamengo have it all mixed. Without a label set. Yes, the teams of Rio are the real national of Brazil. Have supportres in all Brazil. One man is the author of great coverture of cariocas teams : Ari Barroso, the author of "Aquarela do Brasil", our anthem is not formal anthem, but when the first sound, and you said: "Brazil". Ari Barroso was radio speaker in the 50's. and Radio Nacional and transmited whole Brazilian territoire. So the Rio teams were national teams. Now, with the economic power of companies based in São Paulo and the advertising power, we live a "paulistização". Economic and natural for the power of money. And some teams of Sao Paulo become national teams. But, Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense e Vasco ever national teams. With fans all over Brazil. Rio, in the heart of Brazil.
Good Luck, Rio.

É isso aí!
O Rio tem carisma - é a encarnação do Brasil!
Nunca esquecerei uma final do (julgo) interestadual Vasco-S.Paulo a que assisti no S.Januário há já alguns anos...
... ainda hoje não percebi porque o Gerente do Pestana veio pessoalmente tentar demover-me de ir... por questões de segurança...
O Rio traduz o Brasil pq o Brasil inteiro tá no Rio. Sem perder sua identidade. O Rio soma. Se deixar fazemos o pastel de nata com doce de leite.
São Januário lembra o antigo Estádio do Benfica. Antes da remodelação.
Sei que vc acha a Alvalaxya o mais bonito de Lisboa. Eu concordo.
