After all the enthusiasm and coverage generated by young Mr Murray's victory in the Men's Singles at Wimbledon yesterday here is another sports story, from the Daily Telegraph, which you might have missed. It concerns football - a sport I loathe, or at least I loathe the "culture" which surrounds it - and is from Brazil, which is hosting the next Olympics, Worls Cup, and also, of course, World Youth Day. It gives an insight into the sporting instincts of at least some of the Brazilian people and can be read at

Were such actions to become more widespread or transfer to other sports think of the added excitement they could bring to, for example, the Centre Court at Wimbledon - even more than yesterday's enthusiastic response.
