Times Square has seen it all: flashes, lost tourists, costumed characters asking for tips. But on June 13, 2026, New York didn’t know what to do with the Brazilians. 🇧🇷
Thousands of yellow jerseys flooded the heart of Manhattan one day before Brazil’s debut against Morocco at the 2026 World Cup. Drums, batucadas, giant flags, chants, and even a soccer mascot took over the streets to the rhythm of samba. The chaos was so contagious that Moroccan fans joined the party, and the Scots, kilts on, ended up singing ‘Imagine’ alongside a pagode band. No one forced them. They simply couldn’t resist. 🎶🏴
Even the police officers guarding the area gave in to the atmosphere and couldn’t help laughing at the Brazilians’ antics. Fox Sports summed it up better than anyone: “Times Square has become the heart of Brazil.” And yes, that happened before Brazil had even set foot on the field. 😂🔥
