Everyone has their favorite sport and even countries tend to have favorite national sports. America is the home of baseball, or beisebol as the Portuguese would say. And, like most of the world, Brazilians are particularly fond of soccer, or futebol. You’ll find kids in the street playing futebol and lots of organized teams. There are an endless number of sports to talk about but in this lesson, we’ll go over the most common ones.
On your mark, get set, go!
