Brazilian Soccer


LET'S TALK SPORTS


First of all...We enjoy sports a lot. Our passion for sports probably came from our parents and since we were young we always trained in different sports. During our youth our father was a pro in soccer in Brazil. So we were ALWAYS around the sports world and loved watching him compete! Today he plays a different sport called futvolei. Futvolei is a mix between soccer and beach volleyball. The sport is played on a beach volleyball field and you can use anything to get the ball over the net except your hands. For a long time our father was one of the top players in the world. Today he is still the third best player in his age range worldwide. We know Futvolei is still not that popular here in the U.S., but we wish that one day it will be recognized as a popular sport. Just like soccer is now. And maybe one day be part of the Olympics.

Speaking of soccer.

The three of us are so excited to know that Marta, a Brazilian player, is changing the female soccer world. She is considered to be the best female player in the world. Marta currently plays for the Los Angeles Sol in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league. The season started just last month and we are very happy to welcome Marta to LA even though we are also new here in town. One of our wishes this year is to go see Marta play live and congratulate her in person.

P.S.: We wish Brazil luck for the final game against the U.S. for the championship. We'll definitely be watching!
