‘Samba town’ celebrates Brazil victory

BRAZILIANS living in Gort, Co Galway, partied into the night last night, doing the Samba into the early hours, after they made it to knock-out stages of the World Cup.

The atmosphere at Thomas O’Donnell’s bar at the Square in Gort was described as “electric” and “brilliant, brilliant, brilliant” by the Irish who joined in the party.

Brazil beat Australia 2-0 in what was, however, described as another lacklustre performance by the tournament favourites.
