Quick update;
Had a bit of trouble getting the latest batch of Brazilian travels pics off my phone (settings had changed on my computer I think)
But have downloaded them now <ok> So the first update will follow shortly... :emoticon-0158-time:
 
OK, here goes...
My computer renamed all the pictures when I downloaded them! :emoticon-0121-angry So I've had to sort them all out again.
Apologies Elfs if they are out of sequence - I only hope they are all from the same match!

Multiple:emoticon-0137-clapp for this Guvnor.
This was the first of three games on my trip to São Paulo.
They have a regional cup throughout Brazil, it is a strange set up. There is a league of x teams who play x games, the top 8 sides go into the knockout stage playing games home and away then becomes semi finals and a final.
All very complicated and confusing, a bit like Brazil!

This is a fantastic ground with so much character, very different to the next two I went to.
São Paulo is a MASSIVE sprawl and fortunately my hotel was only 15 minutes by Uber from the ground, on a dual carriageway bypassing a rather dodgy area.
The Elf lived to see another game:emoticon-0165-muscl
