The Costa Rica triumph was a family affair for Sao Paolo girls Clara, Marcella and Gabriella.
Clara and her two daughters were dazzlingly decorated in green, yellow and blue wigs as they cheered Brazil to an ultimately comfortable win over the battling Costa Ricans.
"We are so proud because we dearly want to see our team win. We are so happy, so happy.
"Everybody in the team is making goals, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos," said Clara, the Rs rolling off her tongue with a Portuguese purr.
Brazil are purring too and their fans want a quarter-final against England.
First, so they can thank them for sending Argentina packing, and then to apologise for wrecking England's dream as Brazil go marching on.
