But there lasses are probably cuter

From BBC on the nature of Brazillian supporters:



Once again Botafogo needed a victory in their quest to qualify for the Libertadores. Once again they lost 2-1.

Only this time, instead of a crowd of nearly 20,000, they were being cheered - and booed - by just 5,483.

The poor turn-out is not hard to explain.

A couple of weeks ago Botafogo were in contention for the title but the team has been on a downward slope for a while and, when scratchy wins gave way to a run of defeats, many of the supporters gave up.

Coach Caio Junior was sacked in midweek but even if, as now seems likely, they again miss out on qualification for the Libertadores, Botafogo have exceeded expectations.

At the start of the season many had them down as relegation candidates.

Sunday's defeat means they drop to eighth place - but they are only two points behind the team in the final Libertadores slot with two matches to go.



Hard to imagine only 5,000 fans showing up to a Toon match where we were 2 points off the European places {or any other match for that matter}
