And now that I know the PC gloves are off, let me tell you: I've felt more like a gringo then at games I've attended here. ;) I am so out of step with it all it saddens me. However, as long as you are with fellow fans of the home team, everyone's family. I am hoping to make it to Sao Paulo to catch a Santos game. I've been to Yankee Stadium, I've been to the L.A. Coliseum, I've been to Madison Square Garden. I'd like to watch a game in the stadium where Pele played. Cruzeiro is my team of choice, and I had the opportunity of seeing Fred develop from a raw talent into a brilliant goal-scorer and selfless offensive force. But I've seen several different teams play. It's a great country to see a game. --WKW Then my apologies Jeremy.

I knew it was unintentional on your part, and I will now hang my head in shame for being low-brow enough to point it out. But I'll keep giggling.

If he was connecting what I said the subject of the chants are, along with being rhythmic, then, I'm forced to agree. Yikes. It was unintentional mind you. ;) --WKW Josh,

It gets my vote for best use of a Marley song.
