Rodrygo: Football Central to Brazil's Culture

During his time following Brazil's national team in North America, Rodrygo observed the stark contrast between football's cultural significance in Brazil versus the United States. In Brazil, massive celebrations erupt whenever the national team plays, with football deeply cherished regardless of which teams are competing.
