Today, I learned about:

One should never be too certain about what is going to happen, even in the near future. My blog last month was dedicated to the World Cup in football and when I wrote it, of course I could not know how it would end or even about all the events and incidents that were to take place. I have a lot of comments to make, but unfortunately I must ask you for a little patience, because there are quite a few things that needs to be said, and I would like to do it all in one piece. But in August, you can be sure that it will all come out into the open!

I promised to talk about the Football Museum in São Paulo. It was created inside the Pacaembú stadium, inaugurated in 2008. It is worth visiting, there are a lot of details about football, the players, the games, the trophies etc. Reference #1 below gives a good description and if you know Portuguese, then I urge you to also read the paper of Reference# 2, in which one of my Swedish language students, Bruna Rocha, together with her university colleagues, talk about the significance of this museum.

Reference #3 below gives the content of panels about the exhibition, and here are some photos I took while visiting the museum.

That’s what I learned in school today!
