I'm surprised by the cheering tbh. Is Italy really popular in Brazil, or is this backlash against Spain?

I think they are just hoping Italy wins so Brazil won't have to go against Spain!

I know there's a huge Italian community in Brazil in general, I know a lot of people here with Italian last names, but it's usually their grandparents/great-grandparents who were Italian or something distant. But I don't know about Recife in particular. (that's where the game is, right)

but imo might also have to do with the fact that Brazil probably has more chances of winning against Italy than Spain lol
