It’s been going on a while. I seem to remember that a load of the Brasil team that won the 94 WC were proddie evangelicals.
Happening in other parts of Central and South America too, though probably not quite to the extent of Brasil. Mostly American missionary types going into poor neighbourhoods and rural areas, esp among the indigenous populations, giving them a line of Hallelujah bullshit.
David Luiz has quite a silly run.
Not much coverage at all (if any??) in the media about Neuer’s 1982 Harald Schumacher cover version last night.
