Adriana Lima
“I’m so excited because this year it’s happening in my second home, the USA! I get to experience all of it: the fans bringing their anthems, their flags, their culture. For me, the World Cup starts way before the opening ceremony—everyone guessing the new uniforms, preparing “A TORCIDA!”
I will be cheering for “Os Canarinhos”—the nickname for the Brazilian team! Being a Brazil fan isn’t really a choice: It’s something you’re born into. I was born already in love with futebol: It’s in our culture, in my family, in my blood.
I’ll be watching the World Cup everywhere! On the TV, my phone, my iPad, the radio, at the stadium… whatever it takes to follow and cheer for Brazil. I’ll be wearing my Brazil jersey, and it must be yellow! Sometimes the team plays in another color, but yellow is our lucky color. It’s the sun, the gold of the trophy… and our whole nation is praying this is finally our HEXA!”
