OK, so England did lose.....by quite a long way. We had some times of being very discouraged, especially the day when the children came last in every game. Thankfully we managed to stir up a bit of enthusiasm on the last day, and tried to motivate them to "lose with style" and really enjoy themselves. Being competitive is very normal, but in Brazil it seems even bigger. Football is SO important to these kids, they really struggled to do so badly. But, anyway...here´s a photo of our first day (with lots of the children missing), when we thought we had a chance of winning.
