The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.

I'm like any Brazilian: I like to go out and enjoy myself.

Brazil go into every World Cup expecting to win - so when it is in Brazil, it is expected even more. You can't understand what the World Cup means to our country. Not just the fans and players, but everybody in Brazil lets us know that they expect it. Our president, people in politics, all tell us to come back with the World Cup.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I've ever seen.

The most beautiful thing about Brazil that I always find that is so unlike any other place I've been in the world is the diversity of its people.

We have a lot of Brazilians in the United States. It doesn't mean we're traitors to our country.

We Brazilians, happily or unhappily, leave a lot to the last minute.
