Hear What São Paulo Sounds Like When Brazil Scores

What can make Moema, a seemingly quiet São Paulo neighborhood, erupt with a thousand cheers, vuvuzelas and fireworks? Brazil's national soccer team scoring a goal, of course!

Claus Wahlers, a São Paulo resident, filmed his neighborhood during the opening game of the 2014 World Cup on July 12, 2014, in which Brazil won over Croatia 3:1.

Croatia shocked the Brazilians by taking the initial lead after Brazilian defender Marcelo scored an own goal. However, Brazil was able to cling the victory by scoring three goals against their opponent, including one from a penalty kick.

If this is what Brazil sounds like after a goal in the first game of the World Cup, we wonder what it would be like if they scored in the finals?
