From Rio to the Riverside

I was lucky enough to see Brazil play team GB at the Riverside stadium for pre- olympic football friendlies. It was incredible, such an honour to see such a skilled team playing live and in the flesh. The squad was packed with an unbelievable amount of talent; Neymar, Hulk, Pato, Marcelo, Oscar, Leandro Damiao, Ganso. They were all reall really impressive. Hulk amazed me, I've never seen anyone like him before. He really is huge, his shoulders are enormous he's like an American quarterback. For someone so huge he's surprisingly fast and nimble on his feet. Marvellous to watch. the other person who really stood out was obviously Neymar. He really is a superstar in waiting. He too is very quick and so clever, really skilfull. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Oscar looked very impressive during the game, pulling a lot of strings in midfield. We alsso got to watch GB ladies playing Sweden ladies. It was a really cool day. Here are my pictures of the Brazil team warming up and the GB and Brazil teams lining up.
