As an American, I have a limited (OK, make that extremely limited) knowledge of South American sports teams. To me, the sport of football is played with an oblong ball with both teams trying to score touchdowns and field goals.

Football in other parts of the world is the sport I call soccer. So when my oldest son asked for some Brazil Retro Shirts for Christmas, I had to ask him what he really meant.

“You can buy them online, dad. All the kids are wearing them. They’re the current craze,” my son told me.

“OK, I replied, does it matter what team it is?”

“Not really. Just as long as it’s cool,” was all he said.
