Day 16

DAY 16

 

6/27/14. RIO DE JANEIRO - Mini Papi enjoyed the first day off of this World Cup 2014 by walking around the city and doing some sightseeing. His improvised solo tour ended on a very good note after he discovered one of the most beautiful spots of the city, where he was able to see Copacabana from beginning to end.

 

Two huge games tomorrow to start off the World Cup playoffs. First, Brazil vs. Chile: Historically, the 'canarinha' has had plenty of success against the Chileans. In 1962, the Brazil of Garricha won 4-2; in 1998, the Brazil of Ronaldo beat the 'rojos' 4-1; and in 2010, the Brazil of Kaka crushed Chile 3-0.

 

And then, Uruguay vs. Colombia: the two teams have met only once at the World Cup (1962) with a victory for the 'charruas', two goals to one. However, the 'cafeteros' are one of the hottest squads right now after winning its first three matches of the group stage... I don't want to jinx anything, but a Colombian party may be in order in Rio tomorrow.
