The official videoclipe of the official song of the official World Cup in the official channel of official Pitbull

Recorded somewhere in Miami (people around does not look Brazilian) with light bluered-circle Brazilian flags, still, I liked it.

This is awesome too and its from American British media.

The 32 facts about the 32 teams in the World Cup! Some really funny!

Landon Donovan scored more goals in the World Cup than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Rooney... COMBINED!!! LOL

Brazil didn't lose a match at home... since 1975 (or 57 matches in the last 39 years)!

They mean official matches, right? We beat you in a friendly at Maracana in 1998. And I also remember Paraguay beat you in a friendly after WC 2002.

Yes, official matches (WC Qualifiers, Copa America, Confederations Cup, SuperClassico...)

We can't say the same about Argentina, right Luis Fabiano?

Right, Asprilla? (that day was amazing lol)

This video shows how the giant screen was built on the facade of Arena Corinthians. The stadium was officially opened today.

Actually, they should ban Spanish clubs from International comps for a certain time as they did with English ones in the 80s (for other reasons).

Another version of Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ola

Less Pitbull (thankfully) and more football footage.

Looks better

And Brazilians are angry with FIFA because of "Cuban/Miami-salsa" style of the official song for a World Cup in a non-Carribbean-nor-Hispanic country.

I wouldn't say it's specially in Europe. Racism is a serious issue in Europe, but also around the World.
