Peter: The best thing about football.... I think it's the errr sense of cooperation you have in a team, when you're walking together towards a goal.

Joao Pedro: You don't need to be the best player to be part of the team.

Aloisio: To be around friends and playing something that you like. And to see a lot of people playing and supporting something I guess. Football brings people together.

Emanuela: I think it's really how social it can be. You know, how people get together.

Patricia: I think there's a social element that's very nice. You know. it's really a way to connect with people and make friends.

Karina: I think maybe watching the games. Just gathering round and watching the games.

Victor: The passion. You know, you cannot only watch your team playing. You become part of the game.

Joao: It's when you see your team winning a game.

Artur: I don't know, just the excitement you get when your team scores a goal. Or you're at the stadium and everyone is screaming at the players throughout the game.
