“We have close friends who are Korean-Americans. They are here for the game and we are here to support them.” —Carol Cintra, 36, from Porto Alegre
“I have been supporting Korea since the 2002 World Cup when Brazil became the champion and Korea made it to the semi-finals. I found Korean football to be very good. My Korea jersey is a gift from my friend working at SK Construction.” —Renato Rocha, 38, from Porto Alegre, Brazil
“I like the Korean people and Korean culture. Koreans are very nice and not too serious. They are also very cute and beautiful. And Korean music is funny.” —Maria Moure de Bainos, 19, from Porto Alegre
