Today was the start of the World Cup for Brazil.
Considering the Netherlands is not playing it's the county I'm cheering for this year.
Man it sure is different with a Brazilian audience then a Dutch one!
They are so loud!
Half the match I had to cover one ear for protection.
It was a lot of fun though!
Before the match we watched Germany lose which was sort of nice for them because the 7-1 still runs deep.
It's not that they don't like Germany just that this year they would prefer not to run in to them :)
After we had a plate of feijoada.
The feijoada was served with rice and a salad but also this.
It's called Farofa.
It's a cassava flour (this one filled with extra goodies).
It was delicious. (I went back 2 more times).
Sadly Brazil couldn't take home the win and had to settle for a draw mainly due to Switzerlands strong game.
But with two more matches to go we have good hope it will be alright!

I was so desapointed today about this game, I was expected more from Brazil
Greetings, Great Exyle
Excellent Feijoada man. It means you watched the game of Brazil. What do you think? I do not follow much games from Brazil, I prefer to watch my team Flamengo play, however, I saw a piece and it seems that the team was extremely nervous for the game.
That should change from the next two games. Let's see what it's like.
Your feijoada looks pretty appetizing. I really liked her mixture with flour and vinaigrette. When I go there, you can do for me that I will eat with great taste hehehee.
Thanks for the post. Good night!!!!
They look delicious those beans are similar to those that prepare in my country, only here they call "Caraotas" Btw parties have been very interesting especially the victory of Mexico vs Germany that I did not expect
hey friend this year we Italians are given to tennis or beer!how I suffer!
It's not easy right!
Today I spent half of the day in church, celebrating father's day here in Venezuela, and everyone shouted, congratulated and it was a great day, but as your dear @exyle, the noise was tremendous, but we had it very well between brothers and friends, I do not want to imagine you all there, celebrating that party, and with that delicious food, even more excitement, congratulations for that group of friends so spectacular they have, greetings to Bianca, and congratulate her for that good meal Greetings dear @exyle
Mark @exyle it is Good to See you with your New Extended Brazilian Family and I am sure the Food and Drinks were fabulous........Bianca @bkdbkd will now get ready for the next Match and I am sure you will see a Winning Result.............
Thanks man! It will be fine!
I remembered this, it was so saddened then. I believe big name doesn't have the answer to this World Cup show . Imaging team like Germany, Argentina and even Brazil couldn't win there first match Argentina and Brazil had to settle draw while Germany slumped to a defeat.
An excellent dish for the holiday of football, my friend and I am sure that the Feijoada turned out very tasty and pleased you all on this day. I'm also very sorry that Brazil lost points in the first game, they were favorites in this match and was confident that Brazil will win, but football is in many ways and I hope that the next games will please me, you and your friends! Thank you Mark.
I can't remember a World Cup tournament where the Netherlands didn't play. I can't believe they didn't qualify for this one!
It's not great but what can you do :)
Blimey. The whole world's gone to pot @exyle. When did Switzerland get to be a team that could hold Brazil to a draw?
I am really out of date with my international football.
Looks like the evening was a lot of fun anyway. Brazil are, no doubt, just warming up! 😊
Lol I hope they don't warm up for too long!
Awesome, beautiful experience The food looks delicious. It is true that Brazil will avoid running into Germany, that game is still remembered 7-1. hahaha!
I am favouring Brazil and Belgium in this year's world cup.
I'm also hope Belgium will do well today!
Belgium is a great team and i believe it will beat Panama, enjoy the match @exyle
Lol I'm favoring Belgium because of Hazard and Courtois being Chelsea players and yes they have a great team with individual stars.
If they can play as a team I believe there is no stopping them
Being Portuguese, feijao was a regular side or even main course in our home. There was always some leftover in the fridge and would often be finished up with ovos fritos (fried eggs) and linguica for breakfast. Ours was usually made with pinto beans, but every family has their own special variation. Cumin, paprika, chili pepper and a dash of cinnamon are what I remember. My mom "Americanized" her recipe a bit by adding bacon to make it more palatable for non-Portuguese guests, although then there would always be a dish of fried linguica nearby. Mmm....
As for soccer, I've always loved watching my brothers play and now I enjoy watching my kids play. Professional sports teams just have never been something I follow, although I can appreciate a good challenging match every now and then.
The Portugese match vs Spain was fun to watch!
"Man it sure is different with a Brazilian audience then a Dutch one!
They are so loud!"
Buy the best earplugs in town!
LOL!
It would be noisy. Central American and South American folks are loud when the celebrate football! It is almost like a religion in most of these countries. So you cheer loud and often to support your Team.
to judge by the images that was a great day dear friend @exyle, the menu looks very tempting, ideal for the cold that is doing here in Argentina.
A tie is not a bad result, considering that this is just beginning.
I wish you a prosperous week dear friend
Thanks man, I wish you the same!
Haha yes without a doubt those Brazilians are a noisy bunch of folks, I have heard of Farofa but from what I can remember I haven't tried it, also I see you had the hot stuff in the bottle ready, well one match down for Brazil now @exyle
Brazil isn't going out anytime soon, the Swiss are just lucky but they will be out in the next round.When is Brazil going to meet Germany so we can settle all this mess. Going by the results today- Germany is a lot weaker and tactless....
Wow..the feijoada looks delicious- like something we would cook up here in Africa. Am sure they were loud and passionate, just amazing what football can do. Seeing that the African teams are not doing so well, am relying on Brazil to go far in this tournament :)
A bit sad food story, but Feijoada was created by African slaves in Brazil, because beans and pork were the only thing they were aloud to eat. Nowadays, this is the most popular Brazilian dish, and it's really expensive to make one.
Hello Bianca...that's a sad history but at least they came up with a good delicious dish. Wishing all the best to Brazil in this world cup :)
I'm still hoping to watch Egypts star player play!
Hopefully Salah will be in the next match...fingers crossed :)
@exyle, Looking to see cheerful moment to Brazil wearing yellow coloring Brazil's supporting kits. Yep..It's really fun moment but unfortunately tied match coz Swiss team strongly came back second round. But Germany get loss from another south American team Mexico.
Ha ha.. I see above click it. I understood how they shout like as audience's pavilion. Nice to see Farofa delicious foods served by you. Mouth staring watering now. Keep hope next match will win.
Tht looks very yummy! looks like a fun but loud day :P
great post as always :)
Cheers,
Melissa Xx
I was totally disappointed Brazil missed won the match. I have big hope Brazil attacking better then Switzerland. Swiss players also gave massive attacking. Will see next game.
Funny to see you covered one ear for protection through massive noises of Brazil supporters included Bianca. Anyway celebrated nicely tasted feijoada, rice and a salad.
HAhaha now I get it why you named yourself as exyle :D Supporting Brazil :p
I'm not an expert but Nemar got mugged for one of the times from what I saw.
Thanks for sharing exyle and wow the food looks delicious =)
Yep...It's see yesterday already through brazil vs swiss match. Brazil audience had massive shut out than europeans. I was wonder why Netherlands didn't selected for FIFA 2018. However Bianca's plan also missed via tied game. Brazil has 02 games for go next round. Y'll enjoyed with feijoada and beers.. Y'll spend great moment.
brazil all the way this time quite interesting and fun time you all had enjoying the match with friends :)
I was off the grid this weekend and not able to watch any of the matches. Looks like you had a great time though and the food looks amazing. I am not sure who I would even cheer for this year with the US not in it. I guess that isn't much different from most other years though :)
