You will have to excuse as I come from a crazy cricket-infested
country. A legacy left by Britishers to India while leaving which we
have thrived.
I don't know soccer but do know football and there are a few places in
India where football is religiously followed . I don't really know if
there are any differences or not (pardon my ignorance).

How far or near is Curitiba from Rio De Janeiro ? It's the place
where you have a huge statue of Christ and also where the carnival
happens.
