Brasil

Let’s clarify: the largest country in South and Latin America might be Brazil, but when it comes to English spelling, it’s got a z. In Portuguese, it’s another story, and they like to keep things interesting with an s. Talk about being linguistically versatile!

But let’s not forget about the stunning women who showed up in droves to cheer on the Seleção during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Although Brazil’s national team played like champions, their bid for a sixth World Cup was ultimately cut short by a 2-1 defeat against Belgium. At least they didn’t go down without a fight, right?
