The couple cheered as star player Neymar scored on a penalty kick, but some viewers shook their heads as South Korea found themselves down 4-0 in the first half of the game. Brazil ended up winning 4-1.
For Ricardo, it’s his first time in Fort Worth, but Fabianna has been to the city before. This time, they found themselves at home in Sundance Square.
“My favorite part of the World Cup is when Brazil wins,” Ricardo said.
Sundance Square will screen the remainder of the World Cup tournament as it wraps up the Round of 16 matches on Dec. 9 and heads into the quarterfinals on Dec. 10, said Bryan Eppstein, a spokesperson for Sundance Square.
