content for you so without further Ado let me talk about this awesome experience here in Brazil um first of all a lot of fake news as I try to to advise you via X and and social media how a lot of things that weren't really true were being told to the players and about the the country about the city look I won't be I won't stand here in front of you and tell that Brazil is a perfect country and that s Paulo is totally safe I would be lying s Paulo is a huge huge City one of the biggest cities in the world right if I'm not mistaken it's the fifth biggest city in the world nowadays huge population are way too big of a city so it it shares the same trouble that all big cities all Metropolis worldwide share with security with uh robberies with violence obviously it's a a a trouble City sometimes we have a lot of trouble out there it's far for being a perfect City now first things first don't act like you don't have trouble up there in the US right you have Philadelphia isn't an easy place you know you can't go uh middle of the night everywhere in Philadelphia and showcase your phones and and be safe out there Baltimore Detroit downtow LA or I can name you several ciity so I won't again I won't stand up there and tell you like how Brazilian is Brazil is safer no but people who came here to Brazil obviously there will be cases of of difficulties but I I believe from what I've been able to see in person it's been a huge experience a huge trip for a lot of Americans that came here and for all people from all Brazil South America that came here for this game they could enjoy a nice game s Paulo um is a just like I said a big city who has great Subway uh service all right I think uh the part of hotels the city was ready to receive all those people all right this city also had World Cup soccer World Cup the who's way bigger than NFL here in Brazil and it supported and and were able to hold those games here without much trouble uh this city was part of support to the Olympic Games in real and again a lot of Big Time games here and the city was ready to receive all those people so this NFL game was huge for Brazil it was huge for all the fund base here who's growing I Shar more information in my text for SB Nation that I just told you previously I had the opportunity to write and this text is here link it here in the subscription so you can click and check it out and Brazil has a huge huge NFL fund base right in the last 10 years it's it has grown amazingly and and now we have more than 39 million NFL fans here in Brazil obviously it's not the biggest sport in Brazil obviously if you walk out there the streets it won't be everybody that knows NFL football that likes it that knows about that knew about the game because Brazil is a huge country all right but there is an specific group that loves NFL 39 million people already and it continues to grow so for these people to be able and people like me you that have uh you that have um followed my work followed my uh everything I have produced about bills and things like that I really can't believe that you you aren't happy for me I I could talk to a lot of people especially my my fellow Rumblers and and a lot of people on X and people are really really happy for me for having this first opportunity I I hope my next one is at the High Mark Stadium sooner rather than later but to be able to have this first to enjoy this first NFL experience here in s Paulo it was huge for me and I'm pretty sure it was huge for a big Packer fund base that's that's here a lot of Eagles fans that live here as well so I'm pretty sure a lot of people can be really happy for us it can and can see how big of an event it it it was here and and how successful it could be being able to really uh support to to Really um have everything needed to to give you give any NFL fan a huge experience this stadium was packed all right it's a 49 uh th000 capacity stadium we had close to 48,000 uh the atmosphere there was amazing it's obvious I saw some some comments on on social media like people saying oh come on the atmosphere was nowhere near a game here in the my goodness I I'm sorry but I can't help myself but to call those kind of comments done because obviously any NFL team that comes to an international game they won't have the same atmosphere they have at their home stadium packed with only or mostly their own fans and obviously a fan base that grew up and loves football and has football like as something that grew with them that was born with them it's your sport you created it it's obviously even bigger in the US right so it's obvious that the Eagles for example I feel bad for the Eagles fan base because it's obvious that the Eagles got a home game robbed from them there is no question on that so I can understand a fun base like the eagles being mad at their team losing a home game man I remember when the bills had those Toronto series and they weren't home games for the bills we had more fans from other teams than Bills fans out there sometimes because we weren't really a big team back in the day uh and and competing for much stuff so when playing the Seahawks in Toronto I could see more uh Seahawks fans out there and for example so it's obvious like the eagles came here in the stadium especially from people from here from Brazil they Brazil the Brazilian Packers from base is really big so a lot of Packers fans out there and for the Eagles team it's obvious that they miss their fans and their Home Advantage they didn't have a Home Advantage here it's obvious right I won't pretend to assume it it they had a home game here they it was far from it all right with that said uh the atmosphere is as good as it gets for an international game for a game where you had a lot of new fans out there we had a lot of people uh knowing this Sport and knowing it for the first time and starting to like it and to know it so this fan Bas was excited was really really excited to be part of this event to be able to see it in person to enjoy every moment until the last whistle until the the last snap everybody really excited the game contributed to that with the all the competition and this score board being closed all all along uh the Packers being live and with a chance of winning the last drive so it was huge the fan base did its part and it's obvious it won't ever be the same atmosphere on an international game to a home game pretending or expecting something like that isn't really very smart sorry sorry it's the only thing I can tell you if you want to compare the kind of atmospheres right you just you just held a cup America in us a soccer cup America all right and look soccer isn't your main sport far from it but you still have MLS you have a growing League MLS is a respected League it's obvious nowhere near at the level of the top European leagues it's nowhere near the level of Brazilian League it's nowhere near even the level maybe of Saudi leagues that they're investing a lot now but it's a respected League there a lot of quality players playing out there it's very professional you are very organized with your leagues in America you know about that right so and you are nowhere near uh ready to offer the same soccer atmosphere than a cup America being played in Brazil for example because it's obvious this soccer is our sport a Brazilian kid is born rooting for a soccer team and and man they the bond they create with their parents and and it's even different than what you have with your professional sports in America I I I compare it to your college your college atmosphere you have your own matters your your colleges and you still part of that attached to that a Brazilian kid or a Brazilian person with their soccer team it's the same team right so with the the Cel the the Brazilian national team so team same thing right argentinians with their their national team same thing so having a c America in Brazil in Argentina anywhere in South America the atmosphere the soccer atmosphere would be different than your atmosphere simply because you aren't uh you aren't like in love with the sport the way we are down here it's cultural you can't expect a new fun base like in Brazil a lot of people just knowing the sport to love it like a home fan base of the Philadelphia Eagle so I can't really have another objective other than calling it dumb to try to compare this kind this kind of stuff sorry right and I'm I'm sure a lot of people my my um my audience that is listening to me here totally gets it right so I I'm talking about some comments that I've seen on Twitter and and social media and I got to tell something about it because it's crazy to expect that right so again um you can't expect a home field advantage playing here or playing London or playing in Munich or playing Mexico or nowhere no place is like home no place like home so I totally understand every fan that is against an international game because you are losing a home game as a Bills fan I wouldn't like to have the Bills play in Brazil I know it's not the same opinion for all bills Mafia member here from Brazil but I'd rather go to Buffalo to watch the Bills they are done having the bills coming here to Brazil to play here because I know they would Lo lose a home game right and they could have their fans but other teams would have other fans and then you would have all the other 30 uh teams fans that would be there watching as well so you lose a home game now I'm pretty sure the players that came here the coaches they could uh enjoy it like the best way possible as you can enjoy a an international game the fans really loved it the atmosphere stadium was crazy and and people really really liked it it was a total success and let me tell you one thing Brazil is the third biggest market for the NFL right now in the world losing just to America and Mexico so if you think oh NFL won't ever come back to S Paulo you are mistaken I'm sorry but you are totally mistaken because NFL likes money we know that right and there is a lot of money coming from here to America so instead of sometimes uh sharing or posting some xenophobic stuff even you should be pretty Pride uh prideful pretty pretty honored because it's your game your American game a game that isn't or wasn't right naturally played anywhere you created it it was played only in America everybody else is known as American football because the real football is soccer all over the world right liking it or not so your game is growing worldwide everybody loves it as soon as people learn it people wants to see more and grows loving the game and it's your game so be pride of it be proud of it all right be proud of it be happy be happy for the other the the international fans let me tell you another thing I'm pretty sure you enjoy NBA fans you enjoy your lookas nowadays you enjoy your jic right I'm pretty sure if you Denver Nuggets fun you love Nica jic if a Dallas Maverick fan you don't live without donich anymore right and I could go on with all the international stars that play for NBA today but it wasn't like this when I was a kid and G was a Chicago Bulls fan watching Michael Jordan right but Michael Jordan and that dream team started to bring your amazing basketball again be proud of it you're amazing your amazing basketball all over the world that everybody wanted to be like Mike everybody loved those guys right and a lot of people started to play basketball because of them and nowadays I know you don't like to lose a world world championship here and there or if you don't have an Olympic gold medal I know it I know I I definitely know how it feels I talk to Anthony praska all the time about soccer sh out to Anthony and for us Brazilian to have our national team playing like it's playing right now it's not something we enjoy we love to have our team playing theab bonit playing the best soccer in the world and winning World Cups and it's been a long time we haven't won so we are bothered by that for sure and so I get it when your national basketball team doesn't win and you feel like oh people got to respect us again send all the best out all our Powerhouse everything we have so we can win it again I know how you feel about your basketball but the league has grown and the league has more Talent nowadays than ever because the game has grown all over the world and nowadays every the biggest talents in the world they play in the NBA and football obviously is a little bit far away from that it's just the beginning but don't be mistaken this game here in s Paulo you can be sure that a lot of kids that want want to be Neymar wan to be ronaldos ronaldos nowadays even Messi from argen China Cristiano ronaldos a lot of kids could watch a game here and maybe one of them I want to be like AJ brown right I want to be a pass catcher like that I want to be a quarterback like hers I want to be like love I want to rush the pastor like Gary so it's just the beginning for the NFL right we are years away from that but they have an international program right we have with the bills and a British guy now there was a Brazilian guy with the dolphins years ago so the the NFL is just on baby steps right but I think I I really think the time will come where we will see a lot of international players playing in NFL and we are years away but it will happen recently there was a a football American football World Cup recently that USA didn't win and it was crazy to not have the USA winning right I believe Austria and Canada and Japan were teams that that went a little bit ahead of us even and it was crazy how America doesn't win a football tournament ah but obviously professionals didn't go and I don't know how old could people be in this tournament I know Brazil was there and was it's by by some teams there but those competitions are starting so there is some talent in Austria nowadays there is some talent in Canada there is some talent in Japan right in Brazil there will be some Talent so your game is growing can't you be happy for the those fans those fans that invest all the man all the money on Game Pass those man that those fans that watch every game in Europe like watching those games like in the middle of the night waking up uh in the middle of the night to watch a game and to follow their teams right here in Brazil when the the the the daylight saving time changes we got to stay up really late to watch The Prime Time games but you know you know what when the Bills play a Prime Time game here and it ends like 2 3 in the morning bills math in Brazil is like for let's go leading the charge right after the game like 4 in the morning let's go leading the charge let's talk about the game people love the game people love the Buffalo Bills people love the Green Bay Packers the Philadelphia Eagles some fans they even left the soccers they have they even left their teams that they grew up with them in soccer and they are following their their American football teams nowadays so can't you be happy for those people instead of be out there on Twitter like oh oh International gamees suck oh the field sucks oh uh you can't wear green [ __ ] we saw a lot of people wearing green we saw green all over the place so don't listen to those fake news oh there is trouble it's dangerous a 49er just got shot in California is it safe to play football in California right oh the field sucks we talk for years about the Commander shield and for as long as I know you don't play soccer in the commander Shield you don't play baseball in the commander field you don't do anything in the commander field it's poor Rel to football and it's I'm talking about a stadium in a surface from a professional NFL team that makes a lot of money and they can't figure out that field right beers playing snow you're playing inches of snow in Buffalo people don't want a a dome because you love your football weather and you love to watch players playing in snow like inches and then you come to one of the fields in Brazil that is one of the best in America a field that has libertadores game that was uh a field for World Cup game right and has one of the topnotch grasses for soccer obviously you go to London in Tottenham stadium that is one of the best pitches in the world and a Champions League field you go to Munich and playing Bayern field that is another one of the top notch fields in the world for soccer and another Champions League uh surface a surface that a pitch that was used for Heros just recently and then you say oh those fuds sucks man all those countries they give NFL everything they ask for if if the NFL doesn't point out what's wrong with those pitches what needs to be different about those pitches nobody can fix it and let me tell you one thing or two about pitches about Fields because I'm pretty sure a lot of people who talks about Fields what's your experience playing in those fields because okay I I'm no football player but I have plenty of experience playing different types of fields playing soccer professionally I played in Camp new in Barcelona I played m in in bizon here a World Cup stadium right I played in in several several Big Time stadiums here in Brazil with different kind of fields different kind of grasses I played also in a lot of poor fields in small state and poor grasses and I will tell you one thing like the grass is one thing but when people are sleeping it's not just the grass but the the foundation like under this grass and what should be so special for NFL fields that only America has it and nobody else can have it makes no sense it makes no sense sorry right so oh the field sucked NFL got to be clear what they want because if it's a problem in Germany if it's a problem in England it's a problem in Brazil in Mexico everywhere even in MetLife Stadium you are you argue about the field uh you have the commander field who sucks for football and you don't get it figured out right so don't use the this as skills to again oh International game suck no come on it sucks to lose a home game for a fun basee I already I'm totally 100% on the same page with you now to not put yourself in in the the footsteps of those International fans that love the game that spend their money and support their teams and love their teams and have an Als in a lifetime sometimes opportunity to watch their own teams I have been a Bills fan since the 90s I never been to the high Mark Stadium I never been to the h I never been to the Richie Stadium I never been nowhere near Buffalo and I hope I can go one day but I'm not sure I'm not sure if I will ever watch another NFL game in person so can't you be happy for these people instead of tweeting your International game sucks the field sucks NFL has everything they ask for they have in those International games all those countries let me tell you one thing America is amazing yeah you you know how to host competitions you know how create great games and you when you want to be you are an amazing people now don't be dags and act like nobody else can host an NFL game because it's not true it's simply not true all those places worldwide they host big time events of other sports and they surely can host great NFL games even if some teams will lost some home field advantage in this process don't use stuff as a skills to to to protect your opinion against International games because you are losing a home game if you're fan I get it it's bad for the home team but just like I said NFL loves their money from the international fans so please please understand that your sport you should be proud of it is growing and people love it worldwide and you got to be proud of it because let me tell you one thing when I was 10 year old and I got a a Madden game for super Nas and I had to figure out those rules to play I had no idea what I was doing it wasn't easy to learn that game all right so people love it you can be happy for those people and in the future you'll have topnotch even more topnotch athletes playing your football in America for your favorite team and you will have your Luca donic playing as a running back you have your jic as a your quarterback it's hard to find the franchise quarterback you don't find 32 men capable of being franchise quarterbacks in America maybe you can find it worldwide who knows so stop complaining and start supporting the growth the growth of your sport your sport the sport that you created right you should be proud of it you should be proud of it and then another thing I always tell how I love to watch the NFL NBA and see how much they have to offer to soccer and other sports in terms of organization and and in terms of several things scouting right in terms of balancing your leagues I love the way you you have your leagues working with drafts uh with your students being students athletes and you can have people uh being the veloped as athletes but also studying right so I love it in soccer we have a lot of different rules and financial fair play but big clubs buy the best players small clubs are always in trouble big clubs get the most of the TV money small smaller clubs get a minimum so it's difficult to compete in soccer right people who like soccer knows what what I'm talking about so uh I it's really really nice how how you have everything set up with your sports and and other sports other leagues could learn a thing or two for your model right now it's also the true that there is a thing or two that you could learn from soccer or for from other sports and I will tell some examples right I've already asked why people for example how can an NFL team have have one kicker and if the guy gets injured in game you don't have anybody else able to kick the ball decently enough to make a 20 yard field goal for example it's it's absurd because man look how much money those teams invest and imagine losing a game like the bills we just lost to the Chiefs because of a missed field goal now imagine missing this field goal because Tyler Bez was injured and you had to put like uh marching or you had to put like a wide receiver to kick the field goal because you don't have anybody else practicing that like it makes zero sense oh Fernando but then the training is limited the training the practice time is limited you can't waste time with practicing other stuff that you won't even use that much you got to have a backup plan you can't be unable to punt the ball because your punter got injured and the bills had Martin injured last playoffs for example and then you can't punt the ball anymore because the kicker doesn't know how to punt how a kicker doesn't know how to punt properly enough so you can get by how a punter doesn't know how to kick a field goal decently enough so you can get by a situation like that I know a lot of people will tell me like Fernando it's not like this and because it's your culture let's be honest is like this the field goal kicker he only practice field goals it wouldn't hurt if he practiced a little bit of pun so he can get by there right you got to have options another example why do you not use like a your fullback or a big guy in a tou push like situation instead of putting your franchise quarterback there and risking somebody rolling over his knee and losing the guy for the season and and and having the year lost because a play like that oh because the exchange with the center is difficult we saw the bills losing a game recent some time ago with Josh Allen uh having trouble with the exchange with Mitch Morris and then the bills went to overtime and lost against the Vikings so is really it really that impossible for a guy to practice a little bit of exchanges with the center or even the backup quarterback like if you want to Lose a Guy injured lose the backup right but you can put a more powerful guy a bigger guy use this guy in the quarterback's scks use this guy in touch push like situation it would be even more Unstoppable and you wouldn't risk your quarterback but nobody thinks out of the box because you are too attached to your cultural way of thinking it's been like this forever so let's continue like this until somebody does it differently and you are like oh yeah we can do it differently and I'm touching this subject because let me tell one thing yeah players were sleeping yesterday sakon Barkley is lifting the first touch in this game right and then hers and then love and a lot of players is sleeping early but let let me tell one thing as soon as they made clits adjustments they stopped sleeping oh but the field was slippery and they needed to make adjust with their clicks when when you play your beloved football weather games you don't need to adjust your clicks to playing the snow when you play under heavy rain you don't need to adjust the [ __ ] to playing rain so if NFL comes to a place like Brazil or or goes to a place like England or Germany and they look at everything and they surely look at those fields and they are like everything is good enough how those players go to the game they warm up for hours before the game and they don't adjust their CIT so they don't sleep on the field and I will tell even more as the game went on yesterday starter stopped to sleep second half sakon Barkley wasn't sleeping after that sleeping that first touch and he scored his three touchdowns and was huge in the game quarterbacks weren't sleeping anymore but as soon as guys got robed or injured and left the field I remember Jacobs being shaken up and leaving the field and the backup running back the Packers back running back enter the field as soon as he entered first touch his lit When Love got injured as soon as he left Malik Willis came in He Slipped what were those guys doing on the sidelines were they taking a nap sleeping what what are you doing the management the the equipment guy what are you doing that you don't tell your players like hey look at the surface is it slippery what kind of cits are you going to use you needed to go to the game sleep there have some trouble put your team in a bad situation so you could adjust your clicks and then not sleep anymore it makes zero sense as a as an under 13 player as an under 15 player right first thing when we entered a a field to play soccer our coaches were did you check the field is it slippery is it wet what glits are you going to use you are going to use those glits in the wet field come on you are being juvenile so as a young kid in soccer we learn to check the the the surface and the the to wear the proper Clips to avoid s on the field professional soccer players it's it's like Basics then NFL the guys come to the field the guys warm up for hours before the and the guys enter the field and and slep like crazy and then make adjustments to soccer clips and then equipment guy make something it's nuts it's crazy to deal with stuff like that on an NFL level I even uh had a tweet here separated David bakari the former Green Bay Packers left tackle tweeted that last night my thoughts on the field surface uncommon field surface for both teams all players should be wearing seven studs or a flex option in forefoot sh out red and T-Bone that will fix majority of this spping David bech wordss right my brother and I were saying players should be pissed about this obviously players would if you players especially NFL players you want to play in the the best possible field you can have it's obious so if the NFL isn't take care of the best possible fields for them they should be pissed I totally agreed with bakar there needs to be a consistent playing surface across all fields that players step on it includes Commander field FedEx Field it includes met Met Live stag so don't come with talking [ __ ] about International games no one wants to watch players lip or dude's feet being locked in the turf increasing the percentage of injury it's 20 24 the NFL is King they got more than enough money spend a little to get a lot back the fans and players deserve it 100% with bakar here and I know for sure those soccer stadiums have what uh they have the best surface for their Sports unlike the commander Stadium unlike the MetLife Stadium so before talking trash about International games make sure all your stadiums have proper surface in the US right and then I asked a a real question here curious to Bak I didn't get an answer I haven't got an answer so far hopefully he can answer I I'd love to hear from him right and I said David I'm a former professional soccer player and I played on several different kind of fields here in Brazil and abroad those fields from Bayern Tottenham and Corinthians are elite soccer but some people argue they're not prepared for the heavier NFL players that's something people say oh Fernando soccer fields aren't prepared for the heavier NFL players wearing equipment and changing directions with all the that weight okay I don't see how can you change it the base under the grass to support it so I really don't get it but okay so if that's the case then I should do something about that and then I continue so what's the my question is what's the biggest difference to top NFL fields we know there are some trash ones that people love to forget when trash trash International games the grass is top quality in those fields in those pitches that I'm talking about International games are being playing they are the top fields for soccer right so is it in the foundation below the grass it really makes little sense to me after playing on several different surfaces so I'd like to hear from an NFL player what from an NFL player not from somebody on Twitter that never ever stepped on the field never played that single down or single snap or a single minute of any sport on any field and they want to trash International pitches or International Fields just because they don't like International games because they want to all games on their own countries like I won't share my favorite sport are you North Korean that you w to just uh everything for yourself and you don't want anything from your country coming out to other places just like I said you should be proud it's your game the game you created being played all over the world look at soccer you a lot of you hate soccer right but soccer is beloved all over the world right we love it here in Brazil argentinians love it uruguayans love it you go to Europe they love it I'm pretty sure a lot of people in America love it as well I know it for sure and everybody's happy with that nobody's like oh Premier League sucks they are taking our players away from Brazil and we don't have our best players playing here man we want our guys playing the best championship and and representing Brazil well and that's what happens and I believe the growth of NBA is something that you like and NFL is going on the same footsteps it will take longer it's not from yeah it won't be tomorrow that you see an Elite International player but it's coming it's going to happen at some point right so I I'd really uh would love to to listen and to to hear from an NFL player like back to explain me look Fern I think the kind of kind of grass should be this one because this one is better for football because Let Me Tell those grasses from Corin Stadium from Bayern from Tottenham we kind we have different kind of grasses we call I remember one grass that I enjoyed played soccer was called isala here in Brazil isala grass because it's kind of it's a good good surface for for the the this part right and they're different kind of surfaces and there are kind of grasses that suck for playing and and so I'd like to understand what could be different right but one thing for sure you could wear different cats for different surfaces and and wet surfaces Corinthians stadium is always wet the surface is always watered in soccer even more we didn't see they watering the the field before the game I was there like two hours before the game and I didn't see they water it's so I don't know maybe uh I don't know why the night's falling I don't know how to call Sero now so I'm speaking Portuguese but the field was wasn't was it looked like a bit wet right but soccer C solved most of the problems as we could see it's amazing how the pitch got better in the second half when players had proper cits right so please please don't be deags right be happy for international fans it's your game you should be proud of your game growing worldwide right it's your game growing worldwide your invention your American invention be proud of that be proud of that because for sure you invest a lot of money on your teams but you can trust me that fans everywhere they invest a lot of money on their teams as well I'm investing money this week to come to watch Eagles and peckers I have nothing to do with those teams and I'm here investing my time my money not missing days of work in my day jobs to produce content about the NFL to to simply enjoy a game that I grew up loving and learning I pretty sure a lot of people were happy for me yesterday but I saw some people being deep bags as well with kind of things that if you didn't have in the commander Stadium if you didn't have in the MetLife stag if you didn't have when you play your beloved weather football weather games in snow and heavy rain then you could be mad about a totally different situation with the pitch in Brazil but no simple adjustments could could solve that problem and then a lot of people talking bad things about the Fielding in love's injury come on if you look at Jordan Love's injury and you want to put it on the field you have no clue what you're talking about I bet and I challenge you plant your leg in the best grass field in the US and ask a 300 lb offensive lineman to roll over your leg and see if you won't have your knee in trouble and I won't go that far go to your kitchen and do the same thing it's not matter of surface if you plant your food and you have a 300b linan or even your little kid rolling over your leg you will mess up your knee you will blow out it so it wasn't about the field far from it so don't use excuses to defend your point of I don't want my game play being played everywhere I want all the games here in the US right but again it's being selfish so don't be selfish be proud your game is growing and be happy for all the fan bases that are really having their opportunity I wish everybody could go to the us to watch their favorite team but it's not reality it's not reality for everybody so I I really ask you R and I'm not out there like wanting to make enemies I I believe some people will listen to it and be mad at me sorry but I'm just being totally honest with you all right the event was a success just like it was a success and continues to be in London and Germany in Mexico and it will continue to be like it or not the NFL is growing they will continue to play it internationally right and I'm pretty sure Philadelphia especially Eagles fans I saw a lot of American Eagles fans here they had a good time as well right A lot of people had a great time in this event so uh I'm thankful for the opportunity I'm thankful NFL give me gave me and gave all the the NFL fun base this opportunity and really happy I went to the I went to to bed last night like 4:00 a.m. because of the all the adrenaline couldn't sleep like the game ended like 1 1 a.m. like I came to my my friends home and and couldn't sleep couldn't sleep because of adrenaline because so happy for everything could enjoy it so it's amazing it's amazing and I'm really thankful and I want to thank you that listening me to this point even if you're mad at me I'm thankful for you and I'm thankful for your country and I'm thankful for the the amazing sport you created right I'm pretty sure if you love soccer you enjoy or you enjoyed watch in homar in in America when you rather watched a guy in a Bronco running away from police instead of watching Brazil playing us hu was killing it in the US back in the day right and and people who love soccer really enjoyed watching homaru when a lot of people didn't care about soccer in us and I'm pretty sure in 94 a World Cup in Brazil the atmosphere would be even 100% better than in the US us right you just had a cup America in the US where people played on fields smaller than the normal Fields I don't know why you have huge stadiums stadiums with the best surfaces the best condition and you had you didn't have enough space to have proper soccer pitches to the best national teams in America to play against each other like makes zero sense so don't act like America is perfect because it isn't it's amazing but it's not perfect and all over the world like Brazil isn't perfect but it's amazing if you can enjoy what you have there right so I want to tell tell you thank you for the amazing sport you created and I really love you all and and I hope I can at some point go to America and I have no doubts in my mind that I will be received with open arms by a lot of amazing Bills fans there and I can't wait for this day and just to close it out I'm pretty sure by by now you had several different pregame shows to watch and and we are all excited about the Bills game tomorrow I just want to tell you that it probably won't be easy not because I don't believe the bills or don't believe I'm I'm higher on the bills as Mo than most people but I believe this Cardinal team can make things difficult especially with their offense they can run the ball with Connor they have some great talent with McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr and I can't write off Kyler Murray just yet I'd wait this year to write him off so he has his last shot this offense can create some trouble for the bill so I hope our our defense is topnotch tomorrow I hope uh babit can call a great game and and we can have the defense on point so our offense can can really Prevail I believe it's possible I I'm I'm anxious to watch our offense I really believe Josh Allen is ready for an MVP year I believe he doesn't need digs or anybody else he makes everybody better and I I have no doubts in My Mind by December we'll look at this group of wide receivers and we will see it differently and not because those guys will be playing any better than they are playing right now just because of opportunity and playing with Josh Allen Josh Allen will them better new stars will be born like CH Shakir is my main B but wouldn't be surprised with K Samu or or or even Keon Coleman becoming that guy King Kade obviously is a tight end so I'm really anxious to see this bills offense on the field I don't see this Cardinals defense as bad as it was last year but it's still not enough to slow down the bills offense in my opinion we just got to be ready for that offense it can be dangerous that's my my in just a few words my opinion about the game tomorrow so we excited we watch it here from s PA met some Brazilian bills Mafia people here it was awesome and and great great experience so again thank you NFL thank you to all the American friends sorry for for this tone sometimes of being pissed out but a lot of trash stuffff being talked about the country about the game here since before the game and continuing after the game it's not like really like this okay you could rethink some stuff and and and take some stuff back because it's not really 100% like this so thank you so much bills Mafia I'll be back on Monday with the leing the chart postgame show in portug talking about uh big time bills Wing hope hopefully and then on Friday postgame show in English right with deleting the charge on Fridays as normally do not in the last two Fridays unfortunately but back to normal next week prob probably and hopefully so thank you so much bills Mafia see you around and always always always go bills
