Thanks again Carrie, nice girl you are
You know, Saturday afternoon I spent some time listening to my Popmart S?o Paulo bootleg. The concert happened in January 1998, and we had another World Cup ahead that year...Ireland did not qualified for that one, as you know, so I think Bono and the boys chose Brasil to root for.
If you have that bootleg you can hear when Bono said, right before Staring At The Sun " Brasil, ganhem a Copa do Mundo para a Irlanda". He then translated it to Edge, more or less like this: "I just asked Brasil to win the World Cup for Ireland", and they both started laughing .
Well, it didn?t work at that time. But it worked now, 4 years later and I?m confident that Bono and the others might be happy now.

awesome story Follower!! I believe they are happy too! Do you know a fellow Brazilian U2 fan named Daniella? I know the possibilities are slim but I think she is on many U2 fan lists for Brazil. We email occassionally- she is a great girl!!
