Portuguesa; Settling in Rio

Great first full day in Rio. Woke up and headed out the door for a 9:30 AM kick off against Portuguesa. Napped on the way to the stadium despite my best efforts. Woke up as we pulled into a compound with a full stadium nestled into the heart of Rio. It was a little intimidating walking in - there were maybe 50 people in a large room/cafeteria all staring at us. Got through the warm-up feeling good. We were a little nervous, but settled in after the first 10 or so. Not much in the way of offense for the first half, but the defense was pretty well organized. Ah, got to go to the Brazilian BBQ, finish later...
