FELIZ terça-feira! Brazil defeated Egypt 2-0 last
night and Jonas netted in both goals for Mano's men ("quão legaaal" for
the Valenciano!) By all accounts, the selecao were expected to win this match anyway and
despite all his attempts, Hulk wasn't able to score from any of his best chances upfront.
Felizzzz Segunda-Feira! It's Match day today as Brazil prepare to take
on Egypt tonight in Doha, Qatar! Aaah, Doha, we remember the
PAIN you put us through with our luggage and your never-ending steps that needed climbing
in the coldness of Doha Airport.
TUDO BEM?!! Welcome to Day 2 of the Selecao Bootcamp,

of stretching.

Welcome to Seleção Bootcamp... a Fútbolita tradition! To make up for lost time (desculpe,

getting ready for the Copa America which officially kicks off on Friday. First up,
