Brazil fans turn their back on Copa America in favour of Euro 2020 semi-finals

Brazil’s dominant TV Globo is broadcasting some Euro 2020 matches instead of the Copa America, which is shown on the country’s third most popular open channel, SBT, and on ESPN Brasil on cable.

Soccer fans at the fancy Piraquê club in Rio de Janeiro can’t wait to once again gather at the bar beside a swimming pool to watch great players fight for a major tournament trophy in crowded stadiums while they calmly sip on caipirinhas.

Though the Copa America is taking place in their city, they are actually looking forward to Italy and Spain playing Tuesday night in the semi-final of Euro 2020.
