The Maracanã is the largest stadium on this side of the planet. It can fit almost 190,000 fans.
When it's a packed house, the concrete shakes.
This was one of the most emotional games I've ever attended, the fans acted like their lives depended on it.
Flamengo made the first goal, and everyone on the Vasco side gasped like they just watched their mother die,
and then became solemn and quiet. Soon after, the drummers broke the silence chanting that they won't be intimidated.
Just before the break, Vasco scored their first goal, and the crowd erupted into mayhem,
jumping up and down and hugging each other like they had won the lottery.

This kid is blindfolded, on the shoulders of another kid, who is on top of a garbage can,
In the middle of the road during a red light.
When the light changes, they jump down and grab the garbage can and run for their lives,
No one is going to wait for them.
