"It's going to cost us a lot of money," he told the Guardian. "I honestly don't know the figure, but it could be a lot more than hundreds of thousands (of pounds)."

"I saw fathers with their sons and daughters, old ladies with backpacks and teenagers, all covered in mud and wearing their coats and hats," said O Estado de S.Paulo correspondent Livio Oricchio. "I have never seen anything like this country. They are the best fans," said the Brazilian correspondent.
Mercedes' Norbert Haug agreed. "They are the best fans in the world," said the German. "They have taken everything - the rain, the cold - and they still came in their thousands." (GMM)
