Well, after 3 years of living in Rio I finally went to my first futébol (soccer) match. It was part of a finals match between Flamengo and Vasco, two teams from Rio who really, really don't like each other. Maracana is amazing ... really, really big and the fans are so intense that they must enter through different areas (even exit the Metro from different exits) and sit in opposite sides of the stadium. After the game sometimes people have to remove their team shirt so they don't get their ass kicked! Anyway, here are some pics so you can see for yourselves. This site is a bit weird, so if you only see half of each image in the slideshow, cancel out of it and view the images via the thumbnails, etc...
